Obesity, aging, decreased libido…these 5 hormone deficiencies are the culprits

Why do some people age so quickly, with symptoms such as worsening skin quality, weight gain, gray hair, hair loss, decreased physical and muscle strength, and even decreased sexual function and libido? Anti-aging experts say that aging is closely related to the deficiency and imbalance of five hormones. If you want to regain youth, you should follow these five tips in your daily life to help prevent the reduction of these five anti-aging hormones and avoid premature aging.

5 hormones closely related to aging

The human endocrine system is one of the three major systems that control the normal functioning of human physiological functions (the other two are the nervous system and the immune system). The chemical substances secreted by endocrine glands are hormones, also known as hormones. They are a type of chemical transmitter. After being secreted from the glands, they are transported to various parts of the body through body fluids or blood to regulate various physiological functions.

In fact, there are five hormones that are closely related to aging, including growth hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, melatonin secreted by the pineal gland, thyroxine secreted by the thyroid gland, dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA, the anti-stress hormone) secreted by the adrenal glands, and sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone) secreted by female ovaries and male testicles. Anti-aging expert Wang Guiliang stated in his new book "Be a Wise Man of Genes: Anti-aging Maintenance Methods for a Lifetime" that if these five hormones are insufficient or unbalanced, people will age.

Rejuvenation is possible: 5 anti-aging hormones are essential

1. Growth hormone: It is a hormone that promotes development. In recent years, its cell repair and regeneration functions have made it a popular anti-aging therapy. The deep sleep period at night is the peak period of growth hormone secretion, so a good night's sleep is particularly important. As the saying goes, "Every sleep makes you an inch taller," there is evidence to support this. Children who do not sleep at night will not have enough growth hormone and are more likely to be stunted. Clinically, growth hormone is used to treat growth retardation in children. The so-called beauty sleep is between 11pm and 4am. If you often stay up late and lack growth hormone, your appearance will easily look old, especially after the age of 25. Skin and bone quality will deteriorate, hair will turn gray, hair will fall out, physical and muscle strength will decrease, sexual function and libido will decrease... all of these will come early.

2. Melatonin: It is used to regulate the biological clock of the circadian rhythm. Its importance is to help people fall asleep at night so that they can receive the effects of growth hormone during sleep.

3. Thyroxine: responsible for metabolism and regulation of body functions. Hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism can seriously affect physiology. Increased basal metabolism leads to excessive endocrine secretion, bulging eyes, increased appetite but weight loss, accelerated heartbeat and breathing, insomnia, excessive sweating, fatigue, etc. are common signs of hyperthyroidism. On the contrary, low thyroid function will cause the brain and physiological functions to deteriorate, resulting in unclear cognition, lack of energy, cold hands and feet, drowsiness, edema, rough skin, weight gain, weak resistance, etc.

4. DHEA, the stress-resistant hormone secreted by the adrenal glands: It is also regarded as an anti-aging (rejuvenation) hormone that can promote metabolism and tissue regeneration. Stress is an accelerator of aging. Being under stress for a long time will cause an imbalance of stress hormones (too much cortisol, too little anti-stress hormones), open the door to premature aging, and lead to aging diseases such as high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, impaired brain power, and low immunity.

5. Sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone): The decrease in sex hormones and the atrophy of reproductive organs not only reduce sexual desire and sexual ability, but also accelerate aging phenomena such as bone loss, dry skin and mucous membranes, hair loss, obesity, depression, forgetfulness, etc., and menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, palpitations, and night sweats are also very annoying.

Proper regulation of the above anti-aging hormones can help the endocrine system return to its optimal state and slow down the rate of cell aging, which means you will not be old for long and will be less likely to get major diseases. You will become more energetic, your brainpower and mood will improve, and your self-awareness and self-confidence will also increase.

Maintaining a good lifestyle can also help prevent the reduction of these 5 anti-aging hormones:

1. A good daily routine with regular day and night schedule, including working at sunrise and resting at sunset. If you don’t sleep at night, even if you make up for it with sleep during the day, growth hormone will not be secreted.

2. Pay attention to reducing stress, because stress will consume anti-stress hormones.

3. Take in the nutrients you need through a balanced, healthy and varied diet.

4. Maintain moderate exercise. Excessively intense exercise will produce a lot of free radicals, which will damage cells.

5. A more proactive and effective approach is to seek help from a professional doctor and tailor a hormone treatment course based on your individual situation. Achieve anti-aging effects.
