Hormonal balance of a woman

Each of us has his own, different from others, personality. It is difficult to find two people, both with the same appearance, and with the same character. You can explain this fact to anything, but in reality everything is decided by the biochemical reactions taking place in our body. Physical and intellectual data, sleep, mood, appetite, emotions, character, willpower - these are the qualities that are affected by the endocrine glands producing hormones. The main hormones in the body of men and women are the same, but here the difference in their balance predetermines not only the difference in appearance, but also in behavior. Let's look at the hormonal balance of a woman that affects her appearance and character.

Estrogen.

It is a female sex hormone, produced in the ovaries. In the body of women, estrogen predominates over testosterone, and due to this the body of a woman has feminine forms, and the character acquires feminine features. If the hormonal balance is broken, and estrogen is not enough, then the figure and the character of the woman become more masculine. With age, the lack of estrogen can affect the rapid withering of a woman. Excess amount of estrogen causes excessive fullness of the thighs and waist, and also contributes to the development of uterine fibroids.

Testosterone.

This is a male sex hormone. In the body of a woman, it is produced by the adrenal glands and affects female sexual activity. The lack of testosterone is due to sexual coldness, and excess - aggressiveness. Women whose glands produce a large amount of testosterone are usually more athletic and muscular.

Oxytocin.

It is the hormone of caring and affection that affects the mother's attachment to the newborn. It is produced by the adrenal glands, and its main release into the body occurs after the birth of the child. Oxytocin can also increase in the body during stress and in cases where a woman needs help and support from people close to her.

Thyroxine.

This hormone is produced in the thyroid gland and affects the metabolic rate. It depends on him not only the shape of the figure, but also the mental capabilities of women. If a woman has a hormonal background that has a thyroxine in excess, this leads to anxiety, anxiety and weight loss. The disadvantage, on the contrary, contributes to overweight, weakening memory and speed of thinking, and also makes a woman listless and apathetic.

Adrenaline and norepinephrine.

These are the hormones responsible for self-preservation and the reactions necessary for survival. Adrenaline, considered a hormone of fear, enters the body in situations that threaten life. He induces man to flee and gives him strength for salvation. Norepinephrine is a hormone of rage and courage, allowing you to make quick decisions in extreme situations. The action of these two hormones is compensating for each other. With their help, a person can choose how to act at one time or another.

Insulin.

The hormone produced by the pancreas. In a healthy person, insulin is produced in the amount needed to treat glucose entering the bloodstream. Some of the processed sugars will go to generate energy for life, part of it will be stored in fat reserves. It is for this reason that women who follow their figure, have to give up eating sweet foods.

If for some reason the pancreas gland comes on, and insulin enters the body in insufficient quantities, then diabetes develops. With this disease, sugar in the blood is not completely processed, and its excess or deficiency becomes deadly to humans. People who are sick with diabetes mellitus can suffer both excessive thinness and excessive fatness, and they need to artificially replenish insulin deficiency on a regular basis.

Somatotropin.

A hormone produced by the pituitary gland (a gland located in the human brain). Somatotropin promotes the burning of fats and the buildup of muscle mass, is responsible for the elasticity and strength of the ligaments. Also, a small or large amount of this hormone in a woman's body affects the shape and elasticity of her breasts. In connection with the fact that somatotropin is a hormone of "strength and harmony", its development is important for athletes and people engaged in bodybuilding and fitness.

Children who have an overabundance of somatotropin usually undergo accelerated growth and often reach the basketball parameters. The lack of a hormone leads to a slowdown in growth and, possibly, to its complete stop. Decrease in the level of somatotropin in the body threatens lack of sleep, overwork and overeating. This often leads to a weakening of muscle activity and a decrease in muscle mass. If a woman's balance of hormones is disturbed by a decrease in the level of somatotropin, this can lead to a worsening of the shape of the breast, and it will be difficult to restore her without increasing the amount of the hormone.
