Recent studies are showing that too much starbucks may cause problems. According to Dr. Wilson, PhD. in his book Adrenal Fatigue: The 21st century Stress Syndrome, it is hard to detect adrenal fatigue with the standard blood tests and many people are misdiagnosed, but drinking coffee regularly like many starbucks patrons do, can lead to this disease. Symptoms of adrenal fatigue are fatigue, weakness and brain fog, difficulty sleeping, salt cravings, memory loss and depressed ability to handle stress. Stimulants like caffeine in coffee stress the adrenals and push them to produce hormones leaving a person even more tired. By replacing coffee with one cup of green tea, a person can still get caffeine at a much lower dose and preserve the adrenals. Another solution is to eat natural licorice because it boosts the metabolism of the adrenal hormone cortisol. When the body has enough cortisol, it lowers blood pressure, helps stop tiredness and helps regulate blood sugar. Finally the book recommends going to bed by ten thirty pm because the body repairs itself and the adrenals between eleven pm and one am. Allowing the body time to repair is essential in healthy adrenals Photo here of Houston Personal fitness trainer on her back paio wearing a red and white checked bikini, red platform heels and a black jacket. |
