Hormones Dissorder.



If we have hormones disorder one of many effect like stress, mood swing will happen, especially to the women.

What is Hormones?

A hormones is a class of regulatory biochemical that is produced in all multicellular organisms by glands, and transported by the circulatory system to a distant target organ to coordinate its physiology and behavior. Hormones serve as a major form of communication between different organs and tissues.
 
How its produce?

Endocrine glands, which is special groups of cells that make hormones, stores and releases it, when everything goes smoothly, your body functions properly.

The endocrine glands special group of cells are;

  • Adrenal glands - influence the way your body uses energy, they also release a hormone called adrenaline when you are under stress
  • Hypothalamus - part of your brain that controls hormone production by releasing different chemicals to the pituitary gland
  • Ovaries - produce estrogen and progesterone in women, and also release egg cells
  • Pancreas - releases the insulin your body needs to metabolize sugar; problems with the pancreas can lead to diabetes
  • Parathyroid - located behind the thyroid gland, they are essential for proper bone development
  • Pineal gland - connects the endocrine system with the nervous system; produces several important hormones, including melatonin, important to sleep/wake cycles and sexual development
  • Pituitary gland – likely the most important gland in your body, it is crucial to growth, mental development and reproduction; influences or controls the rest of your endocrine system
  • Testes - produce the hormone testosterone; in men, testosterone maintains sperm production and bone mass
  • Thymus - crucial to normal immune function in childhood; once a child reaches puberty, its tissue is replaced by fat
  • Thyroid gland – located in the front of your neck, it releases hormones that control your metabolism and govern the way your body uses energy

How hormones its works in our body?

Hormones are your body's chemical messengers.
Its travel in your bloodstream to maintain your tissues and organs.
Hormones work slowly, over time, and affect many different processes, including
Growth and development Metabolism - how your body gets energy from the foods you eat Sexual function Reproduction Mood

How is Hormones disorder/imbalance?

Hormones are powerful. It takes only a tiny amount to cause big changes in cells or even your whole body. So, too much or too little of a certain hormone can be serious.
If your hormone levels are too high or too low, you may have a hormone disorder. Hormone diseases also occur if your body does not respond to hormones the way it is supposed to. Stress, infection and changes in your blood's fluid and electrolyte balance can also influence hormone levels. (Electrolytes are minerals in your body that have an electric charge. They are in your blood, urine and body fluids. Maintaining the right balance of electrolytes helps your body's blood chemistry, muscle action and other processes. Sodium, calcium, potassium, chlorine, phosphate and magnesium are all electrolytes. You get them from the foods you eat and the fluids you drink. Levels of electrolytes in your body can become too low or too high. That can happen when the amount of water in your body changes, causing dehydration or over hydration. Causes include some medicines, vomiting, diarrhea, sweating or kidney problems. Problems most often occur with levels of sodium, potassium or calcium)

The most common endocrine disease is diabetes. There are many others. They are usually treated by controlling how much hormone your body makes.

How to balance our hormones?

  • Avoid High Omega-6 Polyunsaturated Fats - The polyunsaturated fats are highly unstable and oxidize easily in the body if they haven’t already oxidized during processing or by light exposure. these oxidized fats cause inflammation and mutation in cells. It can clog arteries and also causes skin cancer. Avoid Vegetable oil, peanut oil, canola oil, soybean oil, margarine, shortening, or other chemically altered fats. Choose coconut oil, real butter, olive oil (don’t heat!) and animal fats (tallow, lard) and eat lots of high Omega-3 fish.
  • Limit your Caffeine intake - I take it out already! Too much caffeine  can ruin on the endocrine system, cut down coffee like I do.
  • Avoid Toxins - where it found? It’s found in  others are plastics, household chemicals and even mattresses.
  • Have a complete Sleep - If you aren’t getting enough sleep, your hormone will not be balanced.
  • Take Right Supplement -Vitamin D- A pre-hormone is supportive of hormone function. Vitamins A and K. It also is a great source of Omega-3s and beneficial fats.
    Gelatine is a great source of calcium, magnesium and phosphate. It supports hormone production and digestive health and helps sooth inflammation, especially in joints.
  • Do light Exercise - focus on relaxing exercises like walking or swimming and avoid the extended running, cardio, and exercise videos.
  • Lift Heavy Weights - A short bursts of heavy lifting  can be beneficial since they trigger a cascade of beneficial hormone reactions. Few sets (5-7) are enough.
  • Eat Some Coconut Oil  Coconut Oil is amazing for hormone health.
  • Fix Your Leptin  Fixing leptin this is a master hormones it will also help boost fertility, make weight loss easier, improve sleep, and lower inflammation
