Diet and Adrenal Function

Adrenal stress can be caused or aggravated by the consumption of refined carbohydrates and sugar. This includes hidden sugars in many foods. How much is too much? Less is best.

Caffeine is a common source of adrenal stimulation—one of the main reasons people consume it. Coffee, tea, and cola are the main sources. If you have an adrenal problem, assess your caffeine intake. For many, no caffeine is best; for others, a single cup or two of coffee or tea may be tolerable. You must determine this, as objectively as possible, by listening to your body to see how much caffeine you can tolerate. Feeling jittery and high-strung, a rapidly rising heart rate, or queasiness in your stomach may indicate you’ve consumed too much caffeine.

Breakfast is always the most important meal of the day, but most especially for those with adrenal dysfunction. A healthy breakfast includes protein but is void of refined carbohydrates. An egg-based meal can be the cornerstone of an ideal breakfast.

People with adrenal stress often need to snack between the three main meals, as much as every two hours, in the early stages of recovery. Healthy snacking means eating healthy food in small portions.
