TLC warning for: Your adrenals

These glands, which sit on top of the kidneys, are in charge of producing stress hormones – cortisol, adrenaline and noradrenaline – so are often very busy. If you’re feeling wired at this time, your cortisol production may be too high. It should be at its lowest during these hours to bring on restful sleep. Replenish your adrenals with: Proteinrich foods (eggs, lean meat, pulses, tofu, nuts and seeds) along with vitamin C (citrus fruits, parsley, peppers, green leafy vegetables) and B vitamins, especially B5 (fish, avocados, eggs, lean chicken, beef, sunflower seeds, mushrooms and lentils).
