The more balanced your hormone levels, the higher you function — physically, mentally, and emotionally. Hormones keep your body running smoothly. They help fight harmful bacteria and viruses and promote an overall clean function, which includes feeling good and a more youthful appearance.

 

1. Consume More Protein In Your Diet

Consuming an adequate amount of protein is essential as dietary proteins provide amino acids that can’t be produced by the body in order to maintain muscle, bone and skin health. It triggers the production of hormones that suppress hunger. So, try to consume at a minimum of 20-30 grams of protein per meal.

 

2. Have Regular Exercise

The major benefit of exercise is to reduce insulin levels and increase insulin activity. Insulin is a hormone that allows cells to take up sugar and amino acids from the bloodstream for energy and maintaining muscles. Strength training, aerobics, walking and different physical activities can change hormone levels to reduce risk of heart disease and protect muscle mass when aging. 

 

3. Get Plenty Of Sleep

Sleep is the time whereby body hormones are released into the bloodstream. It includes growth hormones which are essential for growth and tissue repairs. Levels of some hormones may rise and fall throughout the day in response to issues such as quality of sleep. Getting a full, undisturbed night’s rest will help with hormone levels in the body.

 

4. Avoid Overeating And Undereating

Overeating and undereating may result in hormonal shifts that lead to weight problems. Overeating increases insulin levels and reduces its sensitivity. Also when undereating, it can increase your level of stress hormone cortisol and promote weight gain. Restricting your intake of calories can lead to increased cortisol.

 

5. Balancing Your Hormonal Levels

Having a balanced hormonal level is important especially for growing adults as their bodies are still developing and plays a major role in controlling their appetite, weight and mood, among other things. With that, having a nutritious diet and other health lifestyle behaviors may help improve their hormonal health. It will result in being all refreshed and performing well during the day.
