Do you know how hormones affect the body?
There are so many types of hormones secreted in the body that it is difficult to count them all.
When these many hormones lose their balance, the symptoms alone number around six thousand, making precise causes difficult to find and hormonal imbalance difficult to diagnose.
The main cause of losing hormonal balance is stress.
Hormonal imbalance often develops when problems originate in the brain.
The pituitary gland regulates secretion of important hormones affecting the thyroid, adrenaline, growth hormone, sleep and ovaries.
Thus, stimulation of the pituitary gland can disturb balance and cause problems with hormone secretion.
This is why severe dieting can result in hormonal imbalance.
