Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, adrenaline and insulin — are extremely important chemical messengers that affect many aspects of your overall health. Hormones are secreted by various glands and organs, including your thyroid, adrenals, pituitary, ovaries, testicles and pancreas. The entire endocrine system works together to control the level of hormones circulating throughout your body, and if one or more is even even slightly imbalanced it can cause widespread, major health problems.
What are hormones?
- Hormones are chemical messengers that facilitate the communication between the multitude of biological systems and glands within your body.
- They are a part of the endocrine system [which consists of the pineal, hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, pancreas, gastrointestinal tract, and the ovaries and testes.
- These endocrine glands produce the hormones that regulate growth and development, reproduction, weight, mood, and dozens of other functions.
What causes hormonal imbalance?
- Endocrine disruptors
- Chemicals like BPA, dioxin, atrazine, phthalates, lead, mercury, arsenic
- Synthetic estrogen
- Products like plastic wrap, plastic food containers, cleaning agents, candles, air fresheners, cosmetics, body care & hygiene products, metal cans, alumium pans etc.
- Non-organic processed food and processed vegetable oils
- Extreme exercise
- Medicines
- Viruses (HHV)
For example, if you use antiperspirant or deodorant loaded with endocrine disruptors and toxins for years and years, all these absorb into body, and hair grow in the body is HUGE not to mention about other health effects. Why women always complain how the hair grow in underarms is heavy? Personally I can say that body hair grow stopped when I did chemical detox in my life.
