| Adrenal Glands |
The two ductless organs are situated close to
the kidneys and product different types of hormones for our body. Some of these
hormones help to regulate the amount of water in our body, and regulate metabolism.
Simply, metabolism is the complex process in an organism (living being) by
which the digested food is built up into living matter. The adrenal glands also
produce both female hormones (estrogens) and male hormones (androgens) in both
men and women’s bodies. Also the adrenal glands help to regulate the proper “pH”
levels (of acidity and alkalinity) in our body.
Weak adrenal glands may
cause some health imbalances such as high or low blood pressure, slow or fast
metabolism, inability to sleep (insomnia), low blood sugar, high blood sugar (diabetes) etc.
