Chronic Stress and Adrenal Fatigue

Stress kills. The long term effects of high levels of adrenal hormones like adrenaline and cortisol have on the body can result in cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, high blood pressure and even heart attacks and strokes.  Fatigue, thyroid problems, memory loss, depression and anxiety can also be linked to stress.

Research has shown that animals under stress up-regulate the enzymes they use to make vitamin C, which protects tissues from damage.  Humans cannot make vitamin C, and so must either eat it, or supplement. Low levels of vitamin C are related to low levels of antioxidants available in the body, and low levels of antioxidants mean high levels of oxidative stress, which can lead to many cancers and chronic disease.  B vitamins are also significantly depleted under stress, and are necessary for liver function to detox and cleanse the body, as well as producing hormones, neurotransmitters, and energy in every one of your cells. If you are deficient in certain vitamins, minerals and amino acids, your body may start showing uncomfortable symptoms.

Chronic Fatigue research has shown viral infections to be responsible for some cases of extreme fatigue.  Heavy metals, thyroid dysfunction, improper digestion and absorption of food, as well as other infections can all play a role in the body’s inability to use it’s energy correctly, or efficiently.

If you are fatigued, depressed, anxious, having trouble sleeping, or unable to lose weight, you may have stress related complications.
