Top 10 Foods To Balance Adrenaline Levels

1. Pumpkin Seeds: Including pumpkin seeds in your diet for their minerals especially zinc and magnesium, B vitamins, vitamin E, and omega-6 fatty acids.

2. High-Quality Proteins: When adrenal fatigue is at play, the natural circadian rhythm is disturbed and cortisol levels can be too high or too low. Getting enough protein in your diet is essential for combating adrenal fatigue.

3. Fruits: Fruit contains natural sugars, fiber, vitamins, and minerals that all contribute to decreasing inflammation, boosting the immune system, and supporting the adrenal glands.

4. Sea Salt: Many people have an excess of toxic metals like lead, mercury, and arsenic stored in their fat. These metals can increase inflammation and strain the adrenals. Using sea salt and taking Epsom salt and sea salt baths can help improve mineral status.

5. Cruciferous vegetables: When someone has adrenal fatigue, chances are that their detoxification pathways are hindered. Cruciferous vegetables contain ingredients that boost the liver’s ability to detoxify and therefore decrease the pressure on the adrenal glands

6. Good Fats: Fats from foods like coconut oil and olive oil can help the body to reduce inflammation and restore the body to balance as adrenal fatigue increases inflammation, so including good fats daily is a great way to reduce it.

7. Clarified butter or ghee: In clarified butter, casein is removed, leaving cholesterol-rich fat, a key building block for hormones. To avoid concentrated pesticides, opt for grass-fed, organic butter and ghee over conventional dairy.

8. Fatty Fish: Fatty fish is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help to combat inflammation, which is an integral part of healing from adrenal fatigue and reducing certain symptoms.

9. Organic Vegetables: Vegetables are an essential part of a healthy diet, but they can also help nourish the adrenal glands due to their anti-inflammatory properties and vitamin and mineral content. Foods like asparagus, carrots, celery, and dark leafy greens are excellent.

10. Smoothies: They are a great way to add a lot of nutrients to a small amount of food. Mixing greens like spinach or kale with berries is a great way to add nutrient density that will support the optimal functioning of the adrenal glands.
