The stressors of daily life affect our adrenal glands. Much like putting pressure on a gas pedal stimulates forward motion, our adrenal glands will secrete cortisol and induce forward motion of our body until it runs out of cortisol.
A healthy balance of stress and relaxation is one way to keep the adrenal glands happy and well functioning and avoiding adrenal fatigue. Thus, it’s important to recognize stressors and find a healthy way to work through them.
