Location: Shaped somewhat like Brazil nuts, the adrenals
are a pair of glands that sit astride each kidney. The adrenals con-
sist of two parts, the medulla (central portion) and the cortex
(covering.) The medulla is partly an extension of your nervous
system. It is your body’s “alarm box” that prepares you to meet
challenges and even danger.
Hormone Function: Your medulla is stimulated by enzymes
to produce adrenalin (or epinephrine) which is known as the emer-
gency hormone. When you face stress or danger, enzymes are
needed to activate your medulla to release more adrenalin into your bloodstream. Here enzymes use adrenalin to quicken your heart-
beat, increase energy-producing sugar in your bloodstream, s
in extreme stress situations, enzymes may cause the adrenalin to
digestion, fill big muscles with your blood, dilate your eye pupils;
stand your hair on end.
Your adrenal cortex releases the cortisone hormone
as protein, carbohydrates and fat. If you have a weak
helps regulate metabolism of potassium and other minerals
supply, your adrenal glands cannot release enough cortisone and
ness, low temperature. Serious Problem: A very weak enzyme
related hormones. This may cause blood sugar irregularity, tired.
supply can cause such a cortisone deficiency that your connective
skeletal structure begin to may lead to arthritis.
Basic Guideline: Have an ample supply of enzymes active-
ly available in your system to stimulate your adrenal glands s
medulla and cortex release sufficient amounts of health-maintaining
hormones.
Enzyme Control Program. Two nutrients are especially im-
portant for the active production of adrenal hormones. These are
for the regeneration of the membranous covering and the cell-
the B-complex and C vitamins. Your enzymes need these vitamins
tissue components of your adrenals. It is noteworthy that these
other body part. Enzymes deposit these vitamins in your tissues for
glands store more of Vitamin C in your body than just about any
the collagen repair as well as the energizing of the glands to meet
the challenges of daily living. So your adrenals may well thrive and
survive on the amount of B-complex and C vitamins available to
them.
“ECP” for Your Adrenals. To give youthful Enzyme Catalyst
Power to your adrenals, boost your intake to two special groups of
everyday foods containing these nutrients. Vitamin B-Complex:
Whole grains such as bread, cereals, wheat germ, bran, brewer’s
yeast, desiccated liver, whole brown rice, soybeans, green leafy
vegetables. Vitamin C: Fresh fruits (especially citrus), papaya,
strawberries, cantaloupe, tomato, broccoli, green peppers, raw
leafy greens, sweet potatoes.
“ECP” for Youthful Vitality. Try any of these combinations:
(1) To a glass of orange and/or grapefruit juice, add one-half tea-
spoon brewer’s yeast, one-half teaspoon each of wheat germ and table salad, sprinkle with brewer’s yeast and wheat germ. (3) Have
bran. Blenderize and drink slowly. (2) Prepare a fresh fruit or vege
whole grain bread or muffins or rolls that have wheat germ added.
yeast, one teaspoon desiccated liver (from health store), one-half
(4) To a glass of tomato juice, add one-half teaspoon brewer’s
teaspoon bran. Blenderize. Drink every other day. These are
balanced hormones will give you sustained energy and youthful
