A LIFE WITHOUT HORMONES? HORRORS!

In the simplest of terms (simple is good) hormones are the chemical messengers that your body needs to tell your cells what to do. No messages and the cells just plop themselves down and wait. Sort of like road workers who sit with their donuts and do nothing, or worse, just quit and walk off the job. Which isn’t good considering all that your hormones need to do to keep your engine running. And because the body secretes around 50 different hormones, there are lots of messages flying around. The control tower needs to be alert.

Some of the activities of hormones include:

  • -Prompting cell or tissue growth and development
  • -Helping with food metabolism
  • -Initiating and maintaining sexual development and reproduction
  • -Maintaining body temperature
  • -Controlling thirst

-Regulating mood and cognitive functioning

  • -Development and growth
  • -Metabolism of food items
  • -Sexual function and reproductive growth and health
  • -Cognitive function and mood
  • -Maintenance of body temperature and thirst
  • Just a few, by the way.

OH, THOSE TRICKY, FICKLE HORMONES

All hormones pretty much work until you die. (yea!) Regrettably, sometimes they go bonkers. (figures…) Example: three hormone biggies are insulin, cortisol and adrenaline. They are considered major because if they were to disappear we would not be able to survive for more than a few hours or days. (no, we’re not kidding). Loss of the minor hormones, on the other hand, would not cause our immediate demise but would cause us to feel pretty lousy and could contribute to diseases which could also rob us of good health and longevity. Some of these hormones are thyroid, estrogen, progesterone, testosterone, growth hormone, and DHEA. Each hormone, both major and minor, plays a role in the delicate balance of our metabolism, which is how we build or use our body. If you’re missing or have low levels of a hormone, your metabolism becomes imbalanced. And when that happens, watch your body go “BOOM”.

GUYS, THIS OUGHT TO GET YOUR ADRENALINE PUMPING.

Time to put down your devices and listen to this. According to HealthDay News, a recent study showed that aging men who are losing their “bring-it-on-sexual-self” can receive a love-life boost from testosterone replacement therapy. That includes improvements in their sex drive, sexual activity and erectile function. Not to say it could turn you into sexual Supermen, but hey…still good news. Especially considering all men experience a natural decline in testosterone levels as they age. (which could be as early as in your thirties) And speaking of aging, baby boomer men are also looking to testosterone therapy as a potential “fountain of youth.” The number of men beginning testosterone treatments has nearly quadrupled since 2000. That’s a ton of testosterone.
