What Is Adrenal Fatigue?
7. Which Foods Aid in Recovery From Adrenal Fatigue?
Nutrient-dense, natural, and fresh foods are recommended to help the body heal itself. Examples of healing foods are organically grown fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans and legumes, natural and organic dairy products with no added sugars, grass-fed meats, and free-range eggs. A low-fat diet is not necessarily a healthy one, because the body requires lipids and fat-soluble vitamins to synthesize hormones. Examples of healthy fats to include are extra virgin olive, coconut, sesame, or avocado oils, and organic butter or ghee.
Foods to avoid are those that challenge the body’s digestive and immune systems and those that raise the blood sugar or create free radicals. Specifically, you should avoid processed and low-nutrient foods; foods fried in cottonseed, corn, or other low-quality oils; caffeinated beverages and energy drinks; alcohol; and refined sugars and carbohydrates.
