the word hormone comes from Greek, which means "activation". Reflected in our medical language is "hormone". It is the general name of various hormones secreted by human body, which has irreplaceable functions for human development and metabolism. ?
According to the statistics of relevant departments, there are more than 1 kinds of hormones that have been discovered, among which 25 are protein hormones and the rest are carrier hormones. Among these more than 1 kinds of hormones, more than 1 kinds of hormones play an extremely important role in human health and delaying aging. ?
In terms of chemical composition, hormones can be roughly divided into five categories: protein, polypeptide, glycoprotein, steroid and amino acid. Different kinds of hormones have different compositions and functions, but their functions cannot be underestimated. For example, once a person lacks hormones during development, he will be short and become a dwarf; Women lack hormones, which will lead to menstrual disorder and even infertility; Without hormones, health will suffer from diseases at any time, even short-lived, and so on. ?
Although the role of hormones is extremely important, fundamentally speaking, hormones do not directly participate in the transformation of matter and energy in the human body, but directly or indirectly promote or slow down the original cell metabolism process in the body, thus making the body's activities more suitable for the changes of internal and external environment. ?
its action process is that it combines with the specific receptor on the cell membrane, and then transmits information into the cell, causing a series of corresponding chain changes in the cell, and finally expressing the physiological effects of hormones. These physiological effects are:?
1? By regulating the metabolism of protein, sugar and fat, it maintains the metabolic balance with water and salt and provides energy for physiological activities; ?
2? Promote cell division and differentiation, ensure the normal growth, development and maturity of various tissues and organs in the human body, and affect their aging process; ?
3? Affect the development and activities of the nervous system, and keep them young forever; ?
4? Promote the development and maturity of reproductive organs, regulate the reproductive process, and provide health protection for human reproduction; ?
5? Closely cooperate with the nervous system, so that all organs of the body can better adapt to environmental changes, and so on. ?
In a word, hormone is a very important substance in human life. We study it not only to understand the influence of hormone on human growth, development and reproduction, but also to master the determination of human hormones through it, so as to realize the purpose of diagnosing diseases for human beings. At present, many hormone preparations are not only widely used in medical clinic, but also have been used in a wider range of industrial and agricultural research. ?
As a transmitting substance of information in the brain, hormones are secreted in all parts of the brain, and the brain transmits instructions to the whole body through it, so that all organs in the human body are under its command. In other words, if there are no hormones in the human body, human beings will become unable to think, act or feel. ?
Some people may say that since hormones are so closely related to human health and longevity, let's secrete more hormones in our bodies. Although this idea is very good, it is almost impossible, because from a scientific point of view, all substances in the human body are not unconditional and unlimited. Hormones in the human body, in particular, are not only related to people's emotions, but also have a more direct relationship with people's age. In a research report, Dr. Lang Nuo Kurtz, Dean of the American Anti-aging Medical College, clearly described the relationship between hormones and people's age.
The age of 21-22 is the peak of youth and the peak of the function of the secretory system. During this period, people's life is generally in the heyday of youth and vitality, and their hormone secretion is generally in the most vigorous supply period; ?
at the age of 22-3, hormones in human body have basically reached the peak of hormone production, and then they are decreasing year by year at the rate of 15% every 1 years. At this time, the hormones needed by human organs are self-regulated by the endocrine system in the body. Although sometimes the body will occasionally feel uncomfortable because of the lack of hormones, it will generally not affect a person's normal activities; ?
at the age of 3-5, the secretion of hormones in the body is only 85% of the peak period, and the "output" and "output" are basically kept in a balanced state. Once unbalanced, it is very easy to cause the functional decline of various organs in the body, which will lead to the gradual atrophy and aging of various organs in the body, obvious dull skin and poor spirit; ?
At the age of 5-6, the amount of hormone secretion is only about 1/4 of that of young people. At this time, the human body begins to feel overwhelmed, and the memory begins to decline. The impulse and enthusiasm of young people have gradually turned into memories. ?
At the age of 6-8, the secretion of hormones is only 1/5 of that of young people. At this time, many diseases begin to slowly reach the upper body, and the limbs gradually sink, thus becoming senile. ?
It can be seen that hormone, as a kind of hormone that cannot be separated from human body, can accompany us all the time, but its secretion is not arbitrary. Therefore, if human beings want to achieve the goal of health and longevity, the key is how to effectively control it and let it secrete according to our needs, so as to maintain their youthful vitality forever. This is the key to the problem. ?
beneficial hormones and harmful hormones?
every substance has its two sides, so do hormones. Beneficial hormones will provide strong material support for people's health, while harmful hormones will bring serious damage to people's health. ?
Although hormone is an indispensable hormone in human body, it can also be divided into beneficial hormones and harmful hormones. ?
beneficial hormones are hormones that can provide beneficial hormones to human health. At present, there are more than 2 kinds of hormones that have been discovered. At the World Anti-aging Conference in May 22, Dr. Cage of Italy (an oncologist who has worked for more than 3 years) stated this:
"Since the records of civilization, human beings have always thought that the aging of human body is an irresistible law, but after many studies and certifications, the process of human aging-losing youth and vitality-is not a normal life journey, but a disease caused by the lack of physiological function, and the reason is the lack of hormone secretion, the source of life in our body, which is the main reason for our lack of physiological function. In other words, the real cause of human aging is not caused by our body organs, but the insufficient secretion of hormones in our bodies. If we can effectively supplement Hormone through a scientific method, the aging phenomenon of human beings can be completely stopped. In my 3 years of studying oncology, I used to treat every "disease" as an independent disease, just like all people. But after years of research, I finally realized that many diseases with completely different symptoms and completely different damaged organs have the same causes-the lack and imbalance of beneficial hormones. Therefore, one of the biggest problems that need to be solved urgently in the current medical field is what kind of methods to supplement hormones in the body to combat the aging problem of human beings. " -Dr Cage this passage, I'm afraid is the most powerful explanation for beneficial hormones. ?
Harmful hormones are reactive oxygen species, which have been discovered by human beings for more than 1 years. It is at an altitude of 15 ~ 25 kilometers from the earth's surface. Due to the ultraviolet radiation of the sun, it forms an active oxygen layer surrounding the outer space of the earth. This thick active oxygen layer is the umbrella on which human beings depend. In ordinary people's consciousness, reactive oxygen species is a strong oxidizing agent, which can kill microorganisms widely, including various bacteria, spores, viruses, fungi and so on. However, for human health, there are two kinds of reactive oxygen species, one is the reactive oxygen species existing in nature as mentioned above, and the other is the reactive oxygen species formed by the change of the air we breathe in. Although these two kinds of reactive oxygen species are inseparable substances in the human body, once they are secreted in excess, they can bring harm to human health, especially when a person is in a bad mood, a large number of toxic reactive oxygen species will be produced in the human body. These reactive oxygen species will not only produce many aging substances in the human body, destroy genetic genes, but also easily become the cause of various diseases and aging. ?
In our daily life, we often find that once a girl finds a favorite couple, she suddenly becomes beautiful. What is the reason? ?
You may say that this is because people are in a good mood when they are in love and have the mood to dress themselves up carefully, so they are beautiful. Although this statement is not unreasonable, it is not the root of the problem in terms of the secretory system in the human body. Because a woman is beautiful or not, fundamentally speaking, sometimes it is not their deliberate dress, but their mental state. Although some women dress themselves up all day and paint their faces beautifully with all kinds of rouge and makeup, they still can't make people feel beautiful, but they look like a face without any content. And those who are really beautiful, even if they wash away all the lead, still can't block the light emitted by their radiant spirits. ?
Especially when a woman is in love, her mental state must be high and excited. Under the influence of this emotion, the hormone concentration in her body will definitely increase continuously, and under the stimulation of beneficial hormones, her skin will shrink continuously, leaving a large number of water molecules in the collagen at the base of her skin. At this time, her skin is not only particularly smooth, delicate, but also full of elasticity. -this is the real reason why she is beautiful. ?
Strictly speaking, among all hormones, the female hormone (female sex hormone and lutein secreted by ovary) has the greatest influence on women, which is an indispensable hormone for gestating new life and maintaining maternal health. After the age of 3, some women may suffer from cardiovascular diseases and osteoporosis because they lack the passion for life or because of too much work pressure, which leads to the gradual reduction of female hormone secretion, thus causing many diseases, such as hot flashes, palpitations, pigmentation, depression, insomnia, dry skin, etc. For a long time, it is necessary for every woman to attach great importance to it.
how are beneficial hormones produced?
"things" are generally neutral, which is neither a good thing nor a bad thing for everyone. The so-called influence on themselves is the idea of how to treat and deal with these problems. ?
Simply put, beneficial hormones are produced by our good mood. ?
In many medical magazines, we often see articles that a person is slowly suffering from various diseases because of long-term depression or mental tension. At first, he just felt weak and tired. When he first went to the hospital for examination, he didn't find any obvious organ lesions. But when he went to the hospital for re-examination soon, or when he went to another hospital for examination after a while, he not only found obvious germs and bacteria on some organs. Some people blame this "misdiagnosis" phenomenon on doctors' medical skills and sense of responsibility, while others blame this "misdiagnosis" phenomenon on the backward medical equipment in hospitals, but few people think about it. The real "misdiagnosis" is often not our hospitals and doctors, but your own bad mood that you can't reverse for a long time! ?
The fundamental reason is that in the initial stage of a person's illness, although the beneficial bacteria and harmful bacteria in his body have lost their temporary balance, they have not yet formed an environment in which a large number of harmful bacteria are arrogant, and they have not provided a hotbed of variation for harmful bacteria. If people can change their bad emotions as early as possible at this time, they will not only breed many hormones beneficial to human recovery to curb the arrogance of harmful bacteria, but also improve their internal environment. However, because people's bad emotions can't be reversed and continue to spread and amplify, not only can they not secrete beneficial hormones in the body, but they will promote the proliferation of more harmful hormones and help the rapid proliferation of harmful bacteria. This is the fundamental reason why people did not find diseases when they first went to the hospital for examination, but found amazing diseases when they went to the hospital for examination again. -that is to say, it is the bad mood that people can't change for a long time, which makes the harmful bacteria in their bodies win very precious time! -Who can you blame? ?
As we have said in the previous chapter, beneficial hormones and harmful hormones coexist in a person's body. When a person is in a good mood, beneficial hormones are most likely to be produced in the body, while when a person is in a bad mood, harmful hormones are most likely to be produced in the body-this is the essential feature of hormone production. ?
its medical principle is:
When a person has mood swings, it is often related to anger, anger, anxiety and sadness. At this time, people's nerves will suddenly feel a certain tension. Therefore, after receiving this nervous information, the brain will rapidly secrete a substance called "noradrenalin" (a harmful hormone), which will cause a sharp contraction of blood vessels in the body, thus causing blood flow stagnation or slowing down. This physical change is not only harmful to the body, but also produces a lot of reactive oxygen species, damages genetic factors and produces oxidized lipids, thus increasing the incidence of adults. According to many medical reports, 8% of human diseases are related to this kind of "norepinephrine". ?
When a person's mood is in a state of excitement, happy brain cells will continuously secrete a large number of β -endorphins (a kind of beneficial hormone) under the stimulation of nerves, express happy emotions to various organs in the body, encourage them to work harder, and provide more healthy spiritual support and material support for the human body, so that people's mental outlook and physical health are always active in a virtuous cycle. ?
It can be seen that a person's mental happiness is closely related to a person's health. However, contemporary people can't have it both ways: one is the essential requirement of good health, and I hope that people will maintain a happy state of mind under any circumstances; The other is the constant spur of life success, hoping that people can realize their own life value through continuous progress on the road of growth-two contradictory aspects often make people at a loss where to go.
