Mangoxan - Hormone balance is like a tuned piano

Our Chemical Messengers

Hormones are like the string of a piano when properly tuned they work together producing a harmonious event.  If just one of the 198 strings is missing, broken or out of tune the resulting sound becomes unpleasant.

Like our hard wired nervous system, hormones are chemical messengers released from our glands or organs producing a necessary reaction for us to remain happy, healthy and strong.  Each one of us has 60+ hormones  that help to manage stress and energy, assist with digestion, regulate our blood supply, and stimulate the immune system, control growth and continue to maintain our internal operation.  Some examples of the organs and endocrine glands responsible for hormone production are thyroid, pituitary, kidneys, stomach, testes, ovaries and liver, pancreas, stomach, hypothalamus and blood components.

For example, the thyroid gland which has 2 lobes straddling the larynx (throat), similar to the saddle on a horse, controls how quickly the body uses energy, makes proteins, and controls how sensitive the body is to other hormones.  Each lobe has an additional gland called the parathyroid which helps to control calcium levels in the body.  If the thyroid or parathyroid becomes under or over active we begin to notice changes in our health.  Balance to these glands will aid in a more energetic life and emotional stability. Although there are over 500, here is a partial list of chemicals that are known or suspected in causing hormonal imbalance:

• synthetic chemicals used as industrial solvents/lubricants and their byproducts:
  polychlorinated biphenyls(PCBs*),polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs),dioxins
• plastics: bisphenol A (BPA)
• plasticizers: phthalates
• pesticides*: methoxychlor, chlorpyrifos,dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT)
• fungicides: vinclozolin
• pharmaceutical agents: diethylstilbestrol(DES) and the synthetic estrogenethinylestradiol in birth-control pill

Although we may not fully understand the intricacy of this well orchestrated system, we do have the ability to assist their efforts and prevent exposure.  Read the labels carefully, my rule of thumb is that if I can’t pronounce it…next!

The closer it is to the natural source the better it is for you
