The Connection between Hormones and Aging
After years of research into the aging process, scientists, doctors, and biotechnology experts collaborating with The Next Paradigm Shift, Inc., have developed a comprehensive health plan that outlines techniques that boost health and slow aging. The Next Paradigm Shift, Inc., disseminates vital health information, including the impact of hormone changes on the body, through its exclusive membership network.
Many signs of aging can be attributed to hormone fluctuations. The endocrine system that regulates hormones becomes less effective with age, which impacts several self-repair mechanisms, including the immune system and cell and tissue regeneration. Some facets of the aging process may be reversed through behavioral changes by boosting the following hormones:
- Cortisol. This hormone is released by the adrenal gland when the fight-or-flight response is activated. However, prolonged periods of stress can cause cortisol levels to spike, which can erode the skin’s collagen and give it a sagging, dull appearance. Cortisol levels can be lowered naturally through relaxation techniques and positive thinking.
- Growth hormone. Essential to cell regeneration, growth hormone is depleted by extended sleep deficits, a sedentary lifestyle, and a poor diet. Losing weight and reducing sugar intake are two ways to naturally encourage growth hormone production.
- Estrogen. Healthy, glowing skin requires balanced estrogen levels. Eating foods full of estrogen-producing compounds, such as broccoli and flaxseed, can help keep this hormone at an optimal level.
