People often want to know whether mood swings are caused by too much hormone [excess] or too little [lack]. In fact, although each of these conditions can produce emotions, in most cases large fluctuations in hormone levels can cause significant mood swings. How are these climaxes and low tides of hormones produced, how can you help prevent this kind of body roller coaster?

Our emotions and hormones are affected by the stresses and emotions we often feel. While the "…so get rid of any anxiety, depression or anger" solution may come to mind, contrary to what we want to do when trying to correlate emotional imbalances. The biggest factor in hormone imbalance, in addition to the natural decline of hormones with age, is the inhibition of stress and mood. We don't always let ourselves feel what we are experiencing. When the body has to resist the emotions or stresses that nature wants, the health effects of these feelings may become chronic.

For example, suppose you have a bad day, including work traffic, some social conflicts with friends, the terrible treatment of your boss, and when you get home, you can't relax or sleep at night. You have no appetite, but you tell yourself to be strong and strong on the second and second day. Cortisol levels are rising to cope with your stress, but when you turn off the mental response to everyday stress, your body will also shut down and obey your nerves, making your nervous system react to what is happening in your world. Become dull. Cortisol and hormone levels then experience climaxes and troughs of mania and depression, as the body and mind do not allow for natural handling of upcoming emotions.

What happened next? Mood swings. If emotions are dealt with when they appear, they won't accumulate too much in the body and the release will not be that big. However, with the suppression of emotions, the body reacts more like a volcano, when feelings do come true – they break out! The body does not enjoy extreme health, and it functions better when you try to maintain its steady state [or balance]. This may seem counterintuitive, but suppressing emotions does not keep calm, calm or collect, as we might imagine.

Which hormones are affected by stress and cortisol levels? For women, they often include estrogen and progesterone most often, and for men, testosterone is most affected. In addition, thyroid and pancreatic hormones also respond, which may cause some thyroid and blood sugar imbalance. What do all these changes tend to produce in the body? More emotional disruptions. This can be a vicious circle.

Because of the intimate relationship, the mood for the body's hormones, the best healthy living practice you can have is to occasionally ask yourself, "How do I feel?" Recognize your ability to help your mind not to feel, and This habit is unhealthy, even though it can feel it simplifies life in the moment. This is a challenge for everyone. The more you let natural emotions exist and realize that they are normal, the more balanced your hormones and emotions will be.
