Hormones
Hormones are built in a special group of cells called the
endocrine glands. They proceed in the bloodstream to cells and internal organs
and influence various body procedures such as metabolism, sexual function,
birth, growth and improvement and mood.
Insulin
Insulin
Eating too much, especially excess intake of refined and
simple carbohydrates may lead to regular insulin surges, which leads to
excessive fat storage and weight gain. Insulin insensitivity and diabetic
issues might also occur. Weight loss might remove insulin insensitivity and
normalize insulin secretion, as per a study by the Department of Gynecological
Endocrinology and Reproduction at University Hospital in Heidelberg, Germany,
disclosed in the November 1996 issue of "Human Reproduction."
Female Hormones
Overweight or weight gain in most women can lead to hormonal
irregularities, which can cause infertility and menstrual aberration. The
Heidelberg research investigated 58 overweight pre-menopausal women, most of
whom were infertile and had hormonal and menstrual disorders. Of those 58, 35
of the women volunteered for a weight loss routine. Hormone and estradiol
levels normalized and menstrual work improved in 80 % of the women. Too much
weight loss in women can result in disruption or cessation of menstrual cycles.
Male Hormones
Fast weight loss may decrease testosterone levels in younger
athletic males based on a study in the November 2008 concern of the
"Journal of International Sports Medicine." Testosterone stages
decline as men age and old men may grow gynecomastia, or breast enlargement,
and extra tummy fat. Amounts of the female hormone estrogen also increase.
Weight loss can help decrease estrogen levels and breast enhancement.
