adrenal fatigue

2.1: news.health/hormonics/adrenal fatigue:
Chris Kresser`adrenal fatigue:
. adrenal fatigue means high cortisol;
recovering from adrenal fatigue requires more than
just taking supplements and making diet changes;
stress management may include "a qigong routine,
guided mindfulness-based stress reduction practice,
and guided meditation practice".
see the 14-day 4-part program at 14four.me:
(the 4 parts include moving like your ancestors,
reboot your diet, manage your stress,
and get restorative sleep).

/#arginine complemented by #weightlifting:
. from the book Life Extension, I learned that
using arginine and peak resistance exercise
just before 2+ hours of sleep
could promote the growth hormone
that makes sleep productive .
[27: caveat: Arginine is not always safe:

Don't take L-arginine if you have had
a recent heart attack.

. have optimal antioxidant protection:
get dark leafy greens and exercise .

]

. I also found that arginine promotes sleep;
in fact when I was younger and had trouble sleeping
(due mostly to excessive stimulant use)
3..9 tsp of arginine would help out;
but now that I'm over age 50,
I get a different response:
. if I take it before bed without exercising
I become antsy and nauseous
until I do some peak resistance exercise,
such as pushups, jumping squats,
or isotonics which I can do in bed:
have one hand hold the other
as one arm pushes and the other pulls,
so that there is movement in the coupled hands
but there is also a lot of resistance in arms .
. if I didn't sleep well or woke up too early,
I can count on arginine and 9mg melatonin
to get a 2nd round of sleep
( usually I take 3mg melatonin ).

Health and Wellness Product Information Group
Are you and your agency prepared to work with
lesbian and gay seniors?

my reply:

. according to that article,
sexual minorities have a lot in common with
the mentally ill: fewer social connections,
and thereby a greater risk of stress conditions .
. they should be reminded to compensate by
concentrating on the other branches of longevity:
#: finding self-employment you love,
both challenging and providing a feeling of flow .
#: staying on a disciplined diet
that keeps hormones in the zone:
beans, greens, yams, and no grains or sugar .
#: peak resistance exercise
for maximizing natural growth hormone .
