10 Adrenal Fatigue Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
Symptom #5: Craving Salt
Craving for salt is common for those suffering from adrenal fatigue. One of the ways our body tells us that something is wrong is by a craving for certain foods, besides other possible signs and symptoms. Craving for salt is a way that our body tells us that the adrenal gland hormones are out of a balance.
The cortex of the adrenal glands is in charge of producing aldosterone. If adrenal fatigue causes increased production of aldosterone then more minerals are excreted with the urine. The balance of important minerals for the human body such as magnesium, sodium, potassium, and so on, will be impaired leading to cravings for salty food.
