Life and Adrenaline
The adrenal glands in our body have onemain purpose. Namely, they are to make additional energy from burningmore sugar, once the need arises. The situations where we seem tohappen to need this extra energy is often perceived as an emergencyby our organism, in the same manner as when we were hunted by otheranimals and were exposed to this kind of life-threatening dangerdaily. This is called the fight or flight situation. Long time ago,when we were not on the top of the food chain, we were hunted bynumerous predators and our organism learnt how to avoid being caughtand killed by entering this mode where the majority of our blood getstransferred into our muscles, helping us cope with a troublesomesituation. Today, we experience the same adrenal metamorphosis oncewe are under excessive stress. Our body still perceives this asa trouble, and produces more adrenaline in order to rescue us. However,staying under stress for a long time can cause our adrenal glands togo overboard, producing too much adrenaline, getting into a situationwhere you suffer from adrenaline exhaustion. This hormonalimbalance in your organism can prove to be quite dangerous for yourhealth and is to be treated before any major damage is done.
