Food and Stress

From the Women to Women Website:

"Many of us turn to food when we're stressed, but did you know timing your meals and snacks can also help limit stress?

When you let yourself get too hungry, you can experience low blood sugar levels.

This puts additional stress on your body and makes your adrenal glands work even harder -- which may lead to an adrenal imbalance with symptoms like fatigue, weight gain, and irritability.

We recommend the following schedule to help lessen your adrenal burden:

• If possible, eat breakfast by 8:00 AM or within an hour of getting up.

• Try to eat lunch between 11:00 AM and noon.

• Eat a nutritious snack between 2:00 and 3:00 PM to get you through the natural energy dip around 3:00 or 4:00 PM.

• Make an effort to eat dinner around 5:00 or 6:00 PM.

The signs of an adrenal problem include: fatigue, weight gain, bouts of acne, sugar cravings, and intolerance to cold.

People who are chronically stressed may have adrenals that are producing higher levels of cortisol and adrenaline than they can sustain, and eventually become worn down, even exhausted. Without properly functioning adrenals, the body loses its ability to settle down, relax, sleep, and rejuvenate.

What is Adaptisol™?

Formulated to address the most common symptoms of overworked adrenals, and using the latest research on phytotherapy to reduce the negative side effects of stress, Adaptisol is a natural, holistic adrenal-support supplement.

It features standardized extracts of ancient herbs known for their adaptogenic properties:

Astragalus Root — used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years to support the immune system and help protect the body from physical, mental, or emotional stress.

iberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) — prized for its ability to reduce fatigue, increase energy, and enhance mental clarity. Also widely used to boost the immune system and immune system response.

Rhodiola — a medicinal plant used for centuries in Russia and Scandinavia to improve response to physical stress, enhance immune function, and reduce fatigue.

Cordyceps — an East Asian extract used since antiquity to promote overall good health and, more specifically, to replenish immune system function. It also appears to act as an antioxidant in the body, protecting it from free-radical damage.
