THE ADRENAL GLANDS
One of the main functions of these glands is countering stress by the production of several hormones. The adrenals don’t know the difference between physical and mental stress; they treat both with the same stress hormones. Every type of stress influences these glands 1—injury, infection, divorce, financial stress, job-related stress, irritable people, drugs and medication, surgery, pain, illness, poison ivy, extreme cold or heat, giving birth, menstrual cycle, staring into computer monitors, eating junk foods, starvation diets, and babysitting 15 small children under the age of five for …

Based on the results of your quiz, along with the other information we have covered, you should now have an idea of what body type you fall into. The following are some additional specifics on each gland.
Eating Pattern and Frequency
Liver: Because the liver regulates growth hormone and IGF, both of which have a function of controlling blood sugars between meals, it’s best to eat three meals but not in between. A good breakfast with protein (as opposed to skipping it) is the most important of all meals.
Thyroid: People with a …

Based on the results of your quiz, along with the other information we have covered, you should now have an idea of what body type you fall into. The following lists will give you additional specifics on each gland.
Vegetables
Liver: Consume lots of cruciferous vegetables, since they support liver function.
Thyroid: Consume lots of non-cruciferous vegetables, as cruciferous vegetables tend to deplete iodine (or add some sea kelp, dulse or alfalfa).
Adrenal: Consume lots of vegetables with vitamin C—leafy greens, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, bell peppers, parsley, etc.
Ovary: Consume lots of cruciferous …

When you are stressed, the adrenals overproduce and it becomes difficult to think clearly. You might look for comfort in food. This means you should eat certain things to support your adrenals. These are primarily fats, such as butter, cream cheese, Brie cheese with apples, chicken noodle soup, coconut butter and avocados. These foods greatly stabilize your blood sugar. The worst thing to do is skip a meal and not eat. Hunger is stress to the body. Overeating and stuffing yourself also stress the body. Eating sugar puts stress on …

Social events are unavoidable and you will be in situations that make it difficult to find something to eat.
But here are a few tips:
Eat an apple before you go.
Snack on as many nuts as you can at the event.
Eat something healthy (vegetables) before and after the chocolate or cake. If you consume refined sugars and carbs, potassium is lost, raising sodium. Wherever sodium goes, water goes. To counter the loss of potassium, you could consume high-potassium foods – leafy greens.

More Essential Rules and Examples of Eating for Hormone Health:
Avoid gland blockers
Avoid caffeinated beverages and foods (coffee, soda, sports drinks, diet pills, energy drinks and chocolate).
Eat at least 50 percent organic and hormone-free foods. Avoid packaged or boxed foods with lots of chemicals. Avoid soy products, which are usually genetically modified. If you are on medications, you need to compensate and eat even more raw vegetables (cruciferous and beets are best).
Avoid water retainers
Avoid anything with MSG, including hidden sources under other names. Monosodium glutamate is abundant in many restaurant foods, …

Essential Rules and Examples
Avoid sugar, sweet fruits, grains and starches
Avoid sweeteners, candy, juice, and sugar in yogurt (vanilla too). The only acceptable sweeteners in very small amounts are stevia, raw honey, Tupelo honey or agave nectar—but it’s recommended to avoid these until you achieve significant weight loss.
Avoid sweet fruits—bananas, dates, figs, raisins, mangoes, canned fruits and dried fruits. You can have higher fiber fruits and berries but only one-third of the amount of vegetables you eat.
Avoid grains—breads, pasta, crackers, cereal and others. Oatmeal and brown rice are less damaging but …

Use Aerobic and Anaerobic
If you have an Ovary body type, you need to combine BOTH aerobic and anaerobic exercise. You should do this by exercising every day with anaerobic and either every other day or even daily with aerobic.
The type of fat the Ovary body type has is a superficial cellulite. It is mostly below the bellybutton. So the best type of exercise is lower body—walking, running, treadmill, soccer, basketball, jazz dancing, step aerobics, etc. Focus on working the muscles of the hips, thighs and buttocks. Force these muscles …

Aerobic Exercise Routine
1. Keep the intensity low. Keep it light enough so you can breathe comfortably.
2. Start with 15 minutes per day and work up to 60 minutes per day. (Some people will find they can do more than 60 minutes, but the exercise period should be no longer than 120 minutes per day.) Over time you will get used to this and your body will plateau. When that happens, you could add in the anaerobic exercise.
3. Exercise every other day at first with rest in between. After …

Use Aerobic
If the stress gland is stressed, you want to avoid intense exercise. To improve the stress gland, the correct exercise is calming and less stressful. This type of exercise will burn fat mostly during and slightly after the exercise.
The Benefits of Aerobic Exercise
The main benefit of light endurance-type exercise is that it is very gentle on the adrenals and will keep stress hormones to a minimum. However, aerobic exercise doesn’t burn fat 14 to 48 hours after exercise like the anaerobic system does.
