7 Adrenal Superfoods That Fight Fatigue Balance Cortisol

Eating these adrenal superfoods can help improve your energy, fight fatigue, balance cortisol, and treat adrenal fatigue.

Your adrenals help to control and regulate your ability to manage stress through the production of cortisol. But given the current environment, we find ourselves in, our adrenal glands often need some additional help.

You can support your adrenal glands by eating certain foods known as adaptogens. These foods are called adaptogens because they help your body adapt to stress.

In addition, many have been researched and shown to have a positive impact on cortisol levels.

If you are trying to support your adrenals through your diet or if you just want to make sure your body is in tip-top shape then make sure you consume these foods as much as possible.

You'll find that many of these foods have positive impacts on more than just your adrenal glands as well.
