8 Likely Signs Of Adrenal Fatigue Syndrome

4. Sugar and Salt Cravings

It might seem strange, but another symptom for adrenal fatigue syndrome is craving for salty and sugary foods. But what isn’t so strange is the fact that when people actually crave for particular foods, it’s the body’s way of telling them that they lack a certain nutrient in their body. As mentioned earlier, adrenal fatigue syndrome causes the adrenal gland to be overworked, and one of the responses is heightened adrenaline, or the “fight or flight” hormone, which tells the body it needs energy to either fight or run away from whatever danger it may be facing. On a regular basis, the cravings for sweet and salty foods comes and goes, but with adrenal fatigue, they may be continuous which, sooner or later, can be detrimental to one’s health.
