Our hormones are tiny chemical signals that travel through our body and send messages to organs to reduce stress, speed up metabolism, build muscle and similar processes. Our habits and lifestyle play a key role in maintaining hormonal balance, which is very important for our health.
If you are not a supporter of healthy habits, you can pay the price by disrupting the balance of hormones, which will have a negative impact on your health. And while we look for a solution to wild hormones in various pills, it is in front of us in the form of healthy habits, such as a healthy diet, frequent physical activity and good sleep. There are several signs of hormonal imbalance that you can spot and act on in time to get your hormones back to normal.
It's hard for you to wake up
If it is really difficult for you to get out of bed, it means that the rhythm of production and circulation of your hormones has been disturbed, as a result of which you feel sluggish and tired. For example, your blood cortisol levels should be high in the morning to wake up your brain and prepare you for the day ahead. If you still can't get out of bed, the circulation of cortisol in the blood may be impaired.
If the large amount of coffee you drink during the day, or late nights out, delay and interfere with your healthy sleep, it is possible that you have disturbed the hormonal circulation of cortisol, which is why it takes you much longer to wake up.
If you want to regulate cortisol circulation, it will be enough to completely eliminate coffee and alcoholic beverages for at least 7 days. At first you will be irritable and it will be difficult, but you will soon notice that your mornings are incomparably more dynamic and energetic.
You lose energy after a meal
If you enjoy a meal rich in carbohydrates, after lunch you feel sleepy and tired and exhausted. This could be a sign that you have problems with insulin. In order for your body to function, after lunch, it has to produce a larger amount of insulin, which naturally decreases a few hours after a meal, but if you are not able to secrete a larger amount of insulin after a meal, it means that you have a hormonal imbalance.
If you want to solve this problem, try to keep your carbohydrate intake to a minimum in order to control your blood sugar levels. In this way, you will bring the amount of insulin back into balance, which will prevent the problem of excess weight and constant fatigue. When your body has an insulin imbalance, your metabolism slows down.
You are constantly hungry
Leptin is a hormone that regulates your satiety, and when it is out of balance, you feel a constant need for food. If you constantly want something else, especially something sweet, then the level of leptin in the blood is very low. When you eat a lot of carbohydrates, a lot of insulin is secreted, which blocks the secretion of leptin and as a result, you have the need to eat more, which is not good at all if you want to have a slim line.
Stress can also be the cause of low leptin in the blood, so it should not surprise you that in stressful situations you have a special desire for sweets.
If you want to solve this problem, try to satisfy your need for sweets with a handful of berries or a block of dark chocolate.
You have a problem with fat deposits in the stomach area
A high level of fat affects the formation of visceral fat, which coats our organs and can be very harmful to our health. If belly fat is high, cortisol levels will be out of balance, which can lead to obesity and lack of vitality and mobility.
In order to solve this problem, it is important to undergo a diet that reduces the intake of sugar and carbohydrates in the body for several weeks, in order to reduce fat deposits in the stomach area.
Your hair is lifeless and you are always cold
The thyroid gland is responsible for the general health of our body. If something in our body is out of balance, the thyroid gland will react to it. However, when there is a hormonal imbalance, it can function very slowly, so we can feel constant fatigue, while our hair will be very lifeless, our skin will become thinner, and our hands and feet will be constantly cold.
Too much cortisol in the blood can make our cells resistant to thyroid hormone, causing your functions to slow down significantly, which can lead to frustration and tension.
In order for your thyroid gland to function normally again, give your body a break and find a way to relieve stress. If you succeed, you will be energetic again, and your vital functions will be at a high level again.
You are depressed
High blood sugar levels increase the risk of depression, so scientists claim that due to our love for junk food, depression will become one of the leading diseases of the modern age, along with diabetes.
If you want to start each day with bright thoughts, you need to stick to healthy habits, especially when it comes to nutrition and physical activity.
There are many causes of hormonal imbalance about which it would be best to consult a doctor, but if you have any of these symptoms, you can help yourself by turning to healthy habits and a quality lifestyle, because your health and positive energy come first.
