For women, hormone is a vital substance, which can affect the operation of the body. It not only affects the growth, development and emotional performance of a normal person, but also is an important factor to maintain the balanced action of various organ systems in the body. Once it is out of balance, the body will become diseased. Hormones play an important role in whether a person can achieve physical and mental health. Although the amount of hormones in the human body is not much, it has a great impact on health. Lack or excessive secretion of growth hormone can cause various diseases, such as gigantism; Too little secretion will cause dwarfism. Excessive thyroid secretion can cause palpitations, sweaty hands and other symptoms; Too little secretion can easily lead to obesity and lethargy. Insufficient insulin secretion will lead to diabetes. Many hormone preparations and synthetic products have important uses in medicine and animal husbandry. Causes of hormonal imbalance 1, menopause: menopause will cause the concentration of female hormones to drop sharply, which will cause strong changes in the body. 2, gynecological diseases: cancer diseases, such as cervical cancer, ovarian cancer, etc. will cause hormonal imbalance, affecting menstrual regularity. 3, chronic diseases: diabetes, anemia or anorexia, etc., can also cause hormonal imbalance. 4. Incorrect weight loss: Many weight loss methods in the market advocate dieting or taking medicine to lose weight, which leads to rapid weight loss, and all aspects of the body can adapt and keep up with the pace of weight loss, resulting in hormonal imbalance. 5, excessive exercise: excessive exercise will change the proportion of body fat and muscle tissue, and affect the secretion of hormones, resulting in irregular menstruation and even amenorrhea. Misconduct: Abuse of psychotropic drugs, taking drugs, taking anti-cancer or contraceptive drugs, and drinking alcohol will all disrupt hormone secretion. Four foods that lead to hormonal imbalance: sugar In 2007, a research team found that excessive consumption of fructose and glucose can turn off genes that control hormone levels. Sugar, soda, sugary drinks and other foods on the daily table are all high in content, so it is best to read the nutrition label carefully when ingesting to avoid excessive sugar intake. Alcohol Some studies have found that alcohol can lead to an increase in estrogen. Moderate drinking may also lead to the decrease of progesterone level in premenopausal women, so it is important to remember to reduce alcohol intake in daily food. Fried food, French fries and other fried foods, biscuits and cookies all contain trans fats. According to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), trans fatty acids can increase the body's "bad cholesterol" and increase the risk of heart disease. At the same time, trans fatty acids also reduce hormone secretion. Caffeine Caffeine will increase the secretion of certain hormones, especially cortisol, which can stimulate adrenal gland secretion and produce stress hormones. When you ingest caffeine, these hormones can stay in your blood for 18 hours. How to regulate hormonal imbalance? 1, cultivate a fixed interest and hobby for yourself. Don't underestimate interest. It is very important to have a healthy hobby. It is closely related to the secretion of hormones. Because loving one thing can stimulate the dull brain edge. 2. Constantly stimulate your sense of smell. What tastes good? Generally speaking, as long as you don't dislike the smell, it will do. In particular, the essential oils of celery and fennel can assist the body and stimulate female hormone secretion. 3. It is not superstitious to create the feeling of love for yourself. According to the research results of Japanese researchers, love can greatly promote the secretion of female hormones. After marriage, life is stable, and the focus is back to the busy state of work, so there is no time to fall in love with the other half. This can't be done. Try to give up your job once in a while, date with him from time to time, travel, or participate in some social activities together, and you will feel young. 4. The easiest way to let yourself learn to be moved is to read a love novel or a love drama, and let the tears flow out, which will have a good effect. In addition, we should maintain moderate exercise and ensure a balanced body nutrition, and don't always think about dieting to lose weight. 5. Eating more yellow food to strengthen kidney, liver and spleen is the secret to restore women's vitality, among which spleen is extremely important. If the spleen is healthy, it can digest and absorb foods that are beneficial to the kidney, liver and spleen, maintain the balance of hormone secretion, and avoid adverse conditions in the body. Therefore, yellow food materials are the driving force for supplementing hormones. The important role of yellow food is not only reflected in poor physical condition, but also in three meals a day, which can enhance gastrointestinal function, change cold constitution, enhance metabolic function and maintain the secretion ability of female hormones.
