In short, why do your adrenal glands hate you?!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Your Adrenals Aren\u2019t the Cause<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As we mentioned in our last <strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\"><a href=\"\/is-sleep-making-you-tired\/\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">blog post<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/strong>, something is making your adrenal system work overtime, and more often than not, it\u2019s biochemical and\/or physical stress.

While her struggle had more to do with undereating and metabolic adaptation, if she took a closer look at her ankles instead of her biceps, she might have picked up a clue. Over-training can cause an inflammatory buildup in the body, manifesting as puffiness. Chances are, when Danielle removed her socks, sports bra, and smartwatch, there was an outline where each of them had rested for her three-hour workout. And had she visited her metabolism doctor, cutting-edge technology could have precisely measured her fluid distribution and confirmed she was over-exercising.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Food Allergies<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Food allergies and intolerances are on the rise. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.jacionline.org\/article\/S0091-6749(17)30672-3\/pdf\"><strong><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Research<\/span><\/strong><\/a> shows that over the past 10-15 years, 15 million Americans, including 1 in 13 children, have a food allergy. What\u2019s worse, many people are unaware they suffer from food intolerance because their symptoms vary and often appear hours, or even days, after the food is consumed. So, they keep eating that gluten or drinking that milk, creating a nasty chemical reaction that ultimately damages their adrenals.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9891\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9891\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/serprofas.com\/tc2march5\/why-do-my-adrenal-glands-hate-me\/agriculture_chemicals\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-9891\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-9891\" src=\"https:\/\/serprofas.com\/tc2march5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Agriculture_chemicals-300x169.jpeg\" alt=\"Tractor harvesting wheat\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" srcset=\"https:\/\/serprofas.com\/tc2march5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Agriculture_chemicals-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/serprofas.com\/tc2march5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Agriculture_chemicals-768x433.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/serprofas.com\/tc2march5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Agriculture_chemicals-1024x577.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/serprofas.com\/tc2march5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Agriculture_chemicals-680x383.jpeg 680w, https:\/\/serprofas.com\/tc2march5\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/Agriculture_chemicals.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9891\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Adrenals are affected by increased use of chemicals in agriculture.

Well, you can blame the increased use and production of chemicals in industry and agriculture for that. In the \u201cgood old days,\u201d food wasn\u2019t yet treated with additives, antibiotics, and hormones to help preserve shelf life. While they\u2019ve made life more convenient, they\u2019re ultimately damaging bodily tissue and causing the inflammation that affects your adrenal glands. Add in the toxins we breathe in daily from the production process, and it\u2019s enough to make you want to live on a deserted island.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>What You Can Do<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Instead of packing up and setting sail for Solitary Island, you can take real steps to overcome the stressors that are strong-holding your adrenals.
