In my second article for CarbSmart, the topic at hand is Stress: The Link to Adrenal Fatigue and Our Health. In part I of a two-part series, I lay the groundwork by discussing stress, what it is, how the body responds to it and how to identify if it's impacting your health. In part II, I will then discuss what happens when the stress process goes awry and the adrenals become fatigued, how to determine if your own adrenals are functioning optimally, and what to do if you are experiencing adrenal fatigue. Judging by the number of e-mails I get from Healthy Living How To readers, this is a health issue that is in dire need of discussion.
