Hormones and Weight Loss

You need to be making enough hormones and weight loss will be effortless as long as you are eating and moving properly. There are special plant nutrients that are particularly nourishing for the endocrine system enabling it to produce enough hormones in the proper balance. These plant nutrients are called phytosterols. When we get enough phytosterols our organs communicate well, we are not stressed and our metabolism is regulated. These are plants that we ate more abundantly long ago before super markets and industrial farming.

* If you have insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome or diabetes you need to supplement natural, (plant) phytosterols to help your body make enough hormones to get your metabolism balanced again. To order call toll free 855-485-5373.

The most important of these is a saponin called diosgenin found in roots (tubers) of the plant dioscorea which has been used throughout the world as a food and herbal medicine. This amazing plant supports our body in the production of natural hormones.

Cultures that consume a lot of soy foods and wild yam (diascorea) which have abundant saponins are getting more phytosterols in their diet. The American diet is lacking in these types of foods although we get some from flaxseeds and soy. Hormones affect our reactions to stress and they regulate our metabolism. So if you do well with stress because your body is making enough hormones, you will be less likely to overeat because of stress.

Our metabolism is the rate at which our bodies burn the fuel we give it. So the food we eat, the fuel, directly affects our energy, the complex metabolic processes that help us to function. Our metabolism can help us to burn off calories quickly or sluggishly. To keep your metabolism balanced you need to eat enough phytosterols, exercise every day and eat low glycemic foods. There is one natural, amino acid product on the market that I love because it supports our bodies in making more hormones in a safe, natural way. To order this product call toll free 1-855-485-5373.

To understand the role of hormones and weight loss you need to know that hormones affect our appetites and of course insulin dramatically affects our blood sugar. Hormones affect our bone strength, our cholesterol and most importantly our moods! That's why some people call them happy hormones; when our bodies make enough seratonin, for example, we are in a happy mood. Hormones support good breast health, prostate health, bone health, colon health, immune health and heart health.

Hormones need the essential fatty acids that are in the omega 3 foods. Healthy cholesterol is the foundation molecule for hormones. That means eating more of the omega 3 foods so you have enough of the "good" cholesterol. Hormones also need amino acids in proteins, vitamins and minerals and the glyconutrients. All the nutrients work together and the phytosterols nourish our endocrine system to keep our bodies in natural hormone balance and keep us happy!
