HB-5 Hormonal Balance Reviews

by faina marco (2021-02-02)


Your body secretes about 50 hormones that control many critical functions including metabolism, homeostasis (balance), sexual activity, and contraction of the heart muscle. Think of hormone as messenger molecules that one part of your body makes and then transports (via the bloodstream) elsewhere. Your pancreas, for instance, secretes insulin, a hormone that helps your body utilize glucose for energy. Hormonal imbalances occur when too much or too little of a hormone exists in your bloodstream. Even small hormonal imbalances can create side effects that resonate throughout your body. Consider insulin. Eating too many sugary, processed foods can elevate this hormone, overwhelming your cells so they don’t “hear” its call. Your pancreas continues to secrete insulin, but your cells can’t easily take up glucose from your blood. In other words, your cells become resistant to insulin’s message, so your pancreas tries to make more of this hormone, in hopes the increased production will cause the “message” to get through. Insulin resistance can eventually lead to type 2 diabetes with all its related symptoms including disease, disability, and early death.
