If you’re feeling tired and hungry all the time, the cause could be a combination of factors collectively known as adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue is not a true medical condition but rather refers to a group of symptoms that may be related to adrenal gland function. Adrenal fatigue may result from chronic stress, which causes hormonal imbalances in the adrenals leading to adrenal insufficiency. The function of the adrenal glands, which are located on the top of each kidney, is to produce hormones that: Maintain metabolism Regulate water and salt balance throughout the body Control the “fight or flight” stress response Long-term stress can cause the adrenal glands to become fatigued and unable to keep up with the demands of the body. True adrenal insufficiency can be diagnosed with blood tests. Some symptoms that you may experience include:

Tiredness.

Craving salt and sugar.

Unexplained weight loss.

Trouble getting to sleep and difficulty waking up.

Loss of body hair.

Many people do not think about the symptoms and chalk it up to just being exhausted after a long day. Feelings of stress and exhaustion should not be your daily mantra. It may mean that your adrenal glands are struggling.

Here’s how to break the cycle:

Get enough sleep by setting healthy sleep habits Eat regular meals and choose a healthy, balanced diet Minimize sugar intake Eat a high protein, low carb breakfast to boost energy levels early in the day Exercise daily. Take a brisk walk or calm your body with yoga Do things that make you happy. Self-care is very important Address the root cause of stressors in your life We all know that stress is harmful for our well-being. Adrenal fatigue, even though not a true medical condition, wreaks havoc on our body, and recovery can take some time. As Jim Rohn (American entrepreneur, author and motivational speaker) states, “take care of your body. It’s the only place you have to live.” Consult your physician if you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above.

Is it normal to get hungry every hour?

webmd.com - Why Am I Always Hungry: 11 Reasons You're Hungry All the Time - WebMD

Your body relies on food for energy, so it's normal to feel hungry if you don't eat for a few hours. But if your stomach has a constant rumble, even after a meal, something could be going on with your health. The medical term for extreme hunger is polyphagia. If you feel hungry all the time, see your doctor. Several things can cause hunger. 1. Diabetes Your body turns the sugar in food into fuel called glucose. But when you have diabetes, glucose can't reach your cells. Your body pees it out instead and tells you to eat more. People who have type 1 diabetes, in particular, may eat large amounts of food and still lose weight. In addition to a spike in your appetite, symptoms of diabetes may include: Extreme thirst

The need to pee more often

Weight loss you can’t explain

Blurry vision

Cuts and bruises that take a long time to heal

Tingling or pain in your hands or feet

Fatigue

2. Low Blood Sugar Hypoglycemia is what you have when the glucose in your body drops to very low levels. It’s a common concern for people with diabetes, but other health problems can cause it, too. They include hepatitis, kidney disorders, neuroendocrine tumors in your pancreas (insulinomas), and problems with your adrenal or pituitary glands. In severe cases, people with hypoglycemia may seem drunk. They may slur their words and have trouble walking. Other symptoms can include: Anxiety

Feeling like your heart is skipping a beat

Pale skin

Shaking

Sweating

Tingling around the mouth
