Self-testing method: Ragland's Test (blood pressure test)

1 ) Lie flat for 3–4 minutes → Measure blood pressure 2 ) Stand up → Measure blood pressure again 3 ) Under normal circumstances: the systolic pressure should rise by 6–10 points . 4 ) If the level drops or rises too much , it indicates that the adrenal glands cannot adapt to the "pressure of gravity , " a sign of fatigue .

Functions and structure of the adrenal glands

The adrenal glands are "survival glands" that help the body cope with stress.
It is divided into an outer layer (which secretes hormones) and an inner layer (nerve tissue).
The inner layer produces neurotransmitters: adrenaline, norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine, and GABA.
The adrenaline system is the core of the "fight or flight" response → it helps expand the heart and lungs and increase blood flow.
Stress isn't just caused by wild beasts chasing you; it also includes: news, financial stress, interpersonal conflicts, and physical trauma.

How to relieve adrenal stress?

Stop overanalyzing and overthinking : Constantly counting calories and worrying about people and things → persistent adrenaline stress.
Creating a sense of space : Go for a walk outside, go hiking, get away from the screen → shift your attention away from the screen.
Avoid just running at the gym and watching TV → your body is moving but your mind isn't relaxing.
Schedule truly relaxing activities daily → to help adrenaline recover and reduce stress hormones

Conclusion: Don't assume that "tired" equals "not getting enough sleep." Knowing how to take tests is the only way to truly understand your stress response.

Adrenal fatigue isn't just an urban legend; it's a warning sign that your body can't cope with chronic stress. Starting today, a blood pressure check, a walk outdoors, and a stress-reduction habit will help build a strong foundation for your nervous system!

Don't be trapped by the misconception that "stress equals mental health problems." Only by knowing how to observe, adjust, and relax can you achieve true health!
