Did you know that your adrenal glands have a vital role in your well-being? We don’t always hear about them, but they are very important for our daily physical and mental health. That is why over the next couple of weeks we will be addressing the health of the adrenal glands.

The adrenal glands are grape-sized glands that sit above our kidneys and are essential to life and vitality. They release specific hormones in times of stress that cause us to be aware, awake, and aroused. They also have an important part in the functioning of our metabolism.

Our body has four major stress hormones: Cortisol, DHEA, Adrenaline (Epinephrine) and Norepinephrine.

Cortisol is involved in the function of carbohydrate metabolism as well as in stress regulation.

Ukraine

This spring the brethren in Ukraine began the construction of a new health center in Ukraine.

Siloam Health Center will be the first wellness center in the former Soviet Union—and construction on the building is now underway. The center is located in a picturesque area of the Carpathian Mountains in the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine, with hot springs in the nearby vicinity. Employees will soon be transferred to the center in order to begin medical missionary work there, as well as to further the gospel message in that region.

May God bless the construction process, that these facilities may be soon be in operation.
