Hormones: 'the juice of life'
Over the past few years, there has been a lot of buzz surrounding hormone therapy. Proponents say it not only makes you look and feel younger, but it can also aid with serious health issues such as diabetes and heart disease.
Opponents point to possible health risks.
Starting at around age 30, our hormone levels begin to decline a small amount each year. You likely won’t feel it at the start, but about 10 years later, once you hit 40, many of you will start to notice that your body is not functioning quite as well as it once did.
Often referred to as the “Juice of Life”, hormones do indeed help to keep us healthy, fit, and mentally alert. Severely imbalanced levels can have a negative impact on our well-being, and for the unfortunate among us, serious health issues may arise, including autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular disease, obesity, thyroid disorders, cancer, osteoporosis, and many others.
