Have your physician check your cortisol levels by saliva testing. Low cortisol levels are a sign of adrenal fatigue. Juicing can boost immunity which is depleted when adrenal function is low. It can also provide added nutrients to a diet of irregular, poor and processed foods. Signs of low adrenal glands are fatigue, lack of sleep and a compromised immune system.

Tips & Warnings
Increased energy and stamina are by-products of juicing, but re-organizing your daily dietary regime should not be a source of guilt. Slowly change your source of water from sodas, coffee or diet drinks to fresh-made juices.
Reducing stress is a priority for low adrenal glands or low cortisol levels. If you cannot make time for juicing at home, stop by a local juice/smoothie bar and get their recommendations.
