When you become aware of the facts, and can from experience compare life quality, you realise that selective eating is not just for the health faddists but for everybody. The amino acid 'tyrosine' is involved in the well-being of the adrenal glands. Tyrosine is found in alfalfa sprouts, almonds, apricots, apples, beets, carrots, cucumbers, cherries, figs, lettuce, sweet peppers, strawberries and watermelons. Include the amino acid 'alanine' in your daily diet. It is found in almonds, alfalfa sprouts, apples, apricots, avocados, carrots, celery, cucumbers, grapes, lettuces, oranges, strawberries, sweet peppers and tomatoes.
Excellent sources are fresh fruit and vegetables.
Particularly generous are avocados, a variety of nuts, seeds, sweet corn, olives and cold pressed oils. Avoid Sugar and artificial sweeteners. Aspartame, found in artificial sweeteners, is detrimental to the entire hormonal system, of which the adrenal glands are a part. Refined sugar, in all its hidden forms, is also very taxing on the hormonal system. Caffeine artificially stimulates the adrenal glands, which is fine and well occasionally.
