hormone (Hormones) are chemicals that the body uses to communicate with each other. To control the body's balance in all systems. Including the metabolic system. One important factor in obesity that we know is Loss of hormonal balance (Hormones Balance)

Almost every type of hormone in the body It has almost no effect on the metabolism and obesity, such as leptin from fat cells. Guerlin from the digestive tract Insulin from the pancreas Angry hormones from the liver Cortisol and DHEA from the adrenal glands thyroid hormone and sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone

Hormones are out of balance, affecting many systems.

hormonal balance No matter how much it's too much or too little It may be caused by some genetic factors. together with lifestyle Chronic stress, lack of sleep, nutritional and vitamin balance, inflammation, infection, or even accumulated toxins from the environment. They all affect metabolism, energy use, hunger, fullness, and appetite. Accumulation of fat both inside and outside the abdomen Which can lead to obesity. On the other hand, obesity itself can cause hormones to be out of balance as well (Vicious Cycle).

Hormone balance in children

Usually in children who do not have genetic diseases. or too much nutritional balance There will be a good level of hormonal balance. Because the body has to use large amounts of hormones. To increase the growth of various tissues This is usually enough. That will allow you to eat a larger average amount of food than adults without being fat. But in this era we find obesity in children increasing. New research has found that chemical contamination Especially plastic chemicals and hormone contamination from the environment It is a substance that causes obesity in children. Because it directly disrupts hormone balance (Endocrine Disruptors)

Loss of hormonal balance during working age

In working age, stress from working hard and not getting much rest for long periods of time. In the beginning, some people become thinner, some people become fatter. This is partly due to genetic differences in metabolic responses (SNPs). Another part may be due to the body's adaptations. To combat both physical and mental stress. By increasing the secretion of cortisol and DHEA, the metabolism may seem higher at first. But as time passes, the body will begin to adapt (Adaptation) to chronic stress. In the long run, a condition called Adrenal fatigue (Adrenal Fatique), which may ultimately be the cause of obesity.

Menopausal hormonal balance

He is about to enter the age of menopause. Many people will feel a change in their weight. and increased waist circumference which is partly a result of estrogen that normally controls the metabolic system And the shape of our waist decreases. In fact, men experience menopause. But it may be slower and more difficult to notice than women. But testosterone levels dropped It directly affects the metabolism level that decreases as well. This makes it more difficult for us to control our weight. and also affects Balances the building and breaking down of muscles as well.

It can be seen that there are changes in hormonal balance at every age. All affect the difficulty. in controlling obesity and losing weight almost entirely Holistic Weight Management Therefore, it is important to focus on screening for hormone balance. in the weight loss program as well
