Handling Hormonal Imbalance

In discussing hormonal imbalance and how to handle it, we shall look at the factors mentioned above and how addressing them can help improve hormonal balance.

EXERCISE

Hardly is there anyone who does not know that exercise is very beneficial to the human body. Sadly though, knowing does not always translate to doing. Simple exercise done regularly has been proven to reduce cortisol levels. This is so because exercise helps reduce stress and a reduction in stress levels leads to a reduction cortisol levels as cortisol levels in the body are directly proportional to the stress level in the body.

Exercise also help maintain a suitable serum insulin level in the body. These exercises do not have to be anything strenuous. Simple 30 to 60 minute walks can go a long way in helping a person maintain hormonal balance.

DIET

Just like exercise, everyone knows that it is beneficial to eat right but not everyone makes the effort to do so. Diets that are high in sugar, processed carbohydrates, genetically modified foods, red or white meats and hydrogenated fats, presents a higher risk of obesity. We all know all the diseases associated with obesity. All these increase hormonal imbalance.

In addition to the above, having excess fat in the body presents the risk of stored environmental toxins. We do not need to explain the effects of toxins in the body. Even if one does not exactly know their effect, we all know its not good.

AGE

Of all the categories listed above, age is one that is beyond the control of anyone. A person cannot regulate how and if they grow old. It is an unchanging fact of life. How one grows old can however be managed. Combining good diet and regular exercise are two sure ways of ensuring one grows old with as little complication as possible. Sadly, even doing all of the above is not always enough. A woman for example would always attain menopause and with this could come different symptoms.

Menopause is the result of the cessation of the production of certain hormones in the body. Situations like this require a different approach and this is where Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy comes in.

This treatment helps maintain hormonal balance with the help of supplemental hormones regardless of what caused the imbalance in the first place. This therapy is called "Bioidentical" because it uses supplemental hormones that have the same chemical structure as hormones produced naturally in the body. This makes these hormones more easily processed and absorbed by the body.

With bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, hormonal imbalance has become much more manageable. As people grow older, they can still enjoy a full life. People who have had ailments that resulted in hormonal imbalance can also correct this and live well.

Hormonal imbalance is generally manageable. Take the right action. Talk to qualified BHRT practitioners and get the result you so desire.
