A Happy Life is A Balanced Life. So Say Your Hormones

Who wouldn’t like to feel a little more balanced in their lives?

We feel balanced when each little piece of our lives makes up “the whole” puzzle and fits together nicely. At the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, we learned about the ‘Circle of Life,’ a tool to assess just how balanced we are overall. The more balanced we are, the more fulfilled we feel.

You can be balanced in your eating, and out of whack with your relationships which can then affect your sleep quality and your emotional stability.

What will you have to do next? You’ll have to focus on multiple facets of your life to bring your whole self back into balance.

Just like everything else, your body requires a balanced hormonal state. Only when you maintain a hormonal balance can your organs function properly. If you want to enjoy sound health, maintaining a balance of hormones is essential.

Many factors indicate if your chemical messengers are out of line. Find out if your hormones are balanced and learn what to do to balance them naturally and when you should consult a health care professional. Read the full article here…

We need balance in so many areas of our lives. Those little pieces make up “the whole.” You can be balanced in your eating, and out of whack with your relationships and sleep, for example. Then what do you have to do? Right! You have to work on the two areas you are lacking in to bring your whole self back into complete balance.

Many factors indicate the misbalance of these chemical messengers in the body. The following are the most prominent and commonly occurring indicators of hormonal imbalance. Take a look at the list below and if you experience any of these conditions, consult a health professional, and pay exclusive attention to attaining a balance of hormones.

Constant Fatigue and Exhaustion

The most prominent indication of an imbalance of hormones is that you feel low and tired all the time. When there is an abnormal release of cortisol along with other adrenal hormones in the body, you feel stressed. Besides, you may feel sad and extremely tired even when you do nothing. Thus, if you often have a foggy head, low mood, and extreme depression, your body might have a hormonal imbalance.

Intense Cravings

Here is another commonly occurring symptom but it goes unidentified often because many people usually have cravings, especially for sugar and other sweet stuff. The imbalanced hormonal state also boosts your cravings for different food items including drinks, chocolates, and other tempting edibles. Studies have shown that an increased level of insulin or a high concentration of cortisol in the body can enhance your craving for sugar or wine. Besides, if there is an imbalance of electrolytes in the body, your body tends to crave savory snacks.

Weight Gain

You might have already heard about it how hormone imbalances mess with our weight. In midlife, our bodies seem to change. Our belly seems to be more bloated and yes, the weight that seems to have piled on even while we still stick to the same routines. This is another sign you could be experiencing hormone imbalances. In addition to your daily intake of food and exercises that you participate in, your hormones also have a significant role in determining your body weight because they impact the metabolic rate. If your hormones are out of balance, you will have difficulty in shedding extra body weight despite all your efforts and dieting. Hence, there is no point in doing heavy exercise and severe dieting if your hormones are not balanced. Consult a professional first, acquire hormonal balance, and then follow a healthy lifestyle for enjoying an improved quality life.

Reduced Sex Drive

In women, the libido is controlled by the level of estrogen in the body. If your estrogen level is below or above the optimum level, it can impact your sex drive negatively. Similarly, in the case of men, lack of testosterone can result in a lack of sex drive.

Mood Swings

The mood swings in ladies are often associated with PMS. The majority of women experience mood swings before menses, but that is not the only cause. If you take proper care of yourself and enjoy a healthy lifestyle but still experience mood swings quite often, it indicates that your hormones are out of balance. Remember that unpredictable and severe mood swings also suggest that your hormonal levels need to be checked.

If like me, you have been through menopause or have been around women in your life going through menopause, you know how extreme the mood swings can be for some women. Believe me, it is not a fun time for us. We feel so out of control.

Conclusion

Hormones control numerous functions in our body. If one or more of these release in excess, they can impact the smooth functioning of multiple body systems. Similarly, if there is an underproduction of any one or more hormones, your body will experience some unpleasant symptoms as well. Some of the major factors that indicate the imbalance state of hormones are mentioned above. If you have any of these signs, consult a health professional timely, and take proper care to acquire a balanced state of hormones.
