The hormonal state of your body.
The thyroid gland is a small gland located in the lower part of the neck, below the throat.
The thyroid gland secretes hormones* that regulate the body's metabolism, so improper functioning of the thyroid gland can cause many problems.
May 25th is World Thyroid Day.

Some words about hormonal imbalance.
Hormonal imbalance in the body can be caused by several factors, including improper diet.
Among the most common types of food that can cause a bad hormonal state in the body are:
- Refined sugar and carbohydrates: A large amount of refined sugar and simple carbohydrates in the diet can cause an abnormal increase in insulin levels in the body, which can cause hormonal imbalance.
- Trans fats: Foods that contain trans fats, such as fast food, junk food, and processed foods, can cause inflammation in the body, which can affect hormone production.
- Caffeine: Caffeine can cause increased secretion of cortisol, the stress hormone, which can lead to hormonal imbalance.
- Dairy products: dairy products that are high in fat can affect the production of hormones in the body.
- Alcohol: excessive consumption of alcohol can cause hormonal imbalance, especially in women, as it can cause disturbances in the menstrual cycle.
However, it is important to know that diet is only one of the factors that can affect the hormonal state of the body.
In addition, hormones are very complex, so determining the causes of hormonal imbalance requires professional advice from a doctor.
Have a nice day 😉
