Don’t ignore these 6 signs of a hormonal imbalance
Hormonal balance is especially important for normal function of the body.
The hormones are in charge for many processes to function normally. Still, sometime this balance can be interrupted naturally, either in puberty, menopause and perimenopause. Hormone imbalance may also be caused by toxins or an unbalanced lifestyle.
Understanding the causes of hormone imbalance empowers us to prevent them, and at the same time, feel better, think better, and better prevent breast cancer.
These are the six most common signs:
1⚀-Constant Hunger
Hormonal imbalances often lead to weight gain and food cravings, especially for sugar, which is a result of the high levels of the hormone ghrelin, which stimulates appetite.
2⚁ – Mood Swings
Hormonal imbalances often lead to regular mood swings and feelings of anger, sadness, happiness, and madness for trivial reasons. Mood swings can also appear during the menstrual cycle and the menopause, but they are not so intense.
Progesterone is the happy hormone which gets reduced quicker, and estrogen leads to menopause.
3⚂– Fatigue
Constant fatigue often leads to feelings of tiredness, as a result of the higher cortisol levels. This hormone is responsible for stress.
4⚃-Constant Weight Gain
If you are exercising regularly and still gain weight, you might suffer from hormonal imbalance. When the hormones are normal, the metabolism dictates the weight loss.
Yet, in case the hormones are not regulated, the body cannot burn calories properly, and it becomes resistant to weight loss. In this case, you gain most fat in the abdominal area, since the body retains cortisol and estrogen.
5⚄-Libido loss
Hormonal imbalance reduces the sex drive, as the crucial hormones for the feminine libido, estrogen, testosterone, and the thyroid, are imbalanced.
Despite the reduced sexual drive, your vagina might become dry, making the sexual intercourse uncomfortable and painful.
