HORMONES TO KNOW
When they are working right, your hormones are the key to maintaining your youth and health.
Here are seven so-good things they do for you:
- Oxytocin, the hormone of love and social connection, helps you bond and create meaningful relationships.
- Testosterone gives you vitality and confidence and raises your sex drive.
- Progesterone keeps you calm and plays a role in menstruation and pregnancy.
- Thyroid hormone boosts your metabolism.
- Cortisol triggers the fight-or-flight response to help you manage a life-threatening crisis.
- Leptin decreases your appetite.
- Estrogen strengthens your bones and gives you clear skin.
