10 Snacks for Adrenal Health and Cognitive Function

For those dealing with symptoms like adrenal fatigue or cognitive function challenges, I recommend grazing throughout the day. When blood sugar levels drop, and liver glucose reserves are low, which happens to all of us, our adrenals compensate by producing excess adrenaline. This adrenaline, though meant to help, can actually wear out the adrenals and strain the liver and nervous system. Those of us dealing with chronic conditions like brain fog, eczema, thyroid issues, diabetes, migraines, and autoimmune diseases need to support our adrenals to avoid unnecessary adrenaline release, which can worsen symptoms or cause new ones to develop. Eating a nourishing snack every couple of hours that provides a balance of glucose, sodium, and potassium can help prevent these blood sugar dips, thereby sparing the adrenals from overworking.
