 Adrenal Fatigue
The adrenal glands are mainly responsible for regulating the body's stress response. One of the main tasks of the adrenal glands is to rush all your body's resources into "fight ot flight" mode by increasing production of adrenaline and other hormones. This is the acute stress response that enables you to finish your work on time, finish a long workout or fight a cold.
However, when the stress continues for a prolonged period of time, the adrenal gland fatigues and is unable to produce enough of the critical hormone, cortisol, that helps you deal with stress. In essence, you have burned out the adrenal glands for a short period of time leading to symptoms of fatigue,
poor sleep, lack of energy and maybe even depression.
The treatment is aimed at restoring the adrenal gland with hormones and nourishing vitamins for a short period of time so that it starts working again. The more important part of the solution is: How do we prevent this from occuring in the first place? The answer: manage your stress better by exercising regularly, following a low glycemic diet, taking the proper supplements, using Holy Basil (an aryuvedic plant that helps decrease the negative effects of cortisol) and practicing meditation.
We will be offering a meditation class this month to help you learn how to manage your stress and have partnered with Motivation FItness to help those who would like a structured personal training program. Be pro-active with your health and learn the tools to live better today!
Please email us if you would like to join our meditation class.

The Truth About Cooking Spray
Have you ever wondered why olive oil cooking spray has 0 calories and 0 fat? How can that be when it contains olive oil, soy lecithin, water, and a propellant?
Well, the secret is there is a law that protects trans fats from being recorded in certain situations. If the food contains less than 1/2 gram of a given macronutrient per serving, the manufacturers are able to round down the value to the next lowest integer.
For cooking spray, a standard serving is a 1/3 second spray. This will be less than 0.5 gram of olive oil so the claim of 0 calories can be, by law, substantiated. However, as with most serving sizes, the serving size does not correlate with the amount consumed as most people will spray for one to two seconds if not more! So you are consuming trans fats!!
So what to do? It depends on what you want the dish to taste like as well as the texture. Olive oil is a great source of oleic acid and taste great. A cooking spray can be used and will give a lighter texture, but know that it will have calories and is not fat free. Use of organic olive oil spray is the healthiest choice.
