Although located in the center of the body, right above the kidneys, the adrenal glands orchestrate numerous activities through the stress hormones they release, which in turn affect areas of our body like the brain, heart, respiratory system, liver, and intestines.
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.
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.
