Topic: Adrenaline junkie


In the News (Mon 13 Oct 08)

  
  Hypoadrenia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The adrenal glands are part of the body's mechanism for short term stress response and management, they are involved in the production of the hormone adrenaline (also known as epinephrine), the famous fight or flight chemical released in stressful situations, which increases the body's metabolic rate and muscular contraction strength.
Along with the thyroid gland they are also part of the body's metabolic energy regulation and control system, and thus control to an extent the energy available to body systems.
The mainstream medical view of hypoadrenia is that its alleged symptoms are vague and non-specific, and that day-to-day emotional stress is highly unlikely to lead to an "exhaustion" or imbalance of the adrenal glands.

In an adrenaline addict, the body has learned that “fighting” is the appropriate response to every challenge.
Adrenaline was designed by God as our emergency hormone to mobilize us toward a flight or fight response, but it can also work against us.
Like it or not, many people are addicted to adrenaline and the increased vitality, delayed pain and deep euphoria it offers; and we live for the thrill it adds to everyday living.

 LiNE Zine Spring 2001: Brains on Adrenaline: Taking the Capital Out of Your Human Resources
Adrenaline, that surging burst of energy we feel when stressed, happens as a defense mechanism when our brains sense we are under attack.
Adrenaline is a natural and necessary human function, but, when used at abusive continuous levels, it can be deadly.
Overworking your adrenaline response places a tremendous amount of stress on your internal organs that can lead to a host of problems, syndromes, and diseases, as well as a significant lowering of serotonin levels.
