Weight loss is a frequently discussed subject. For various reasons, a significant number of people across America suffer from obesity. Although dieting and exercising are useful, as a person ages, they find it harder to lose weight than in their younger years. This difficulty to drop pounds may be frustrating as it affects both physical and psychological health of a person.
The resistance to losing weight in older individuals is a result of hormonal changes in the human body. As the human body ages, hormones do not maintain their youthful levels. This often leads to an imbalance. As a result of this hormonal imbalance, the body has more difficulty regulating the body weight, regardless of exercise. However, weight loss is no longer just a dream for older people thanks to the advancement of hormone replacement therapy.
As per the studies, the body will slow down its hormone production process at the age of 40. As a result of reduced hormonal levels, the body will no longer function the same way. An individual will experience an irregular metabolism, fat building in the abdominal area, and reduced energy to engage in physical activities.
With hormone therapy, the body will regain the lost hormones and bring the body back to its optimal levels. With the restored hormones, the metabolism will be speedier, and the individual will experience increased energy to exercise.
Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is used when testing shows a person has low levels:
- Testosterone. Lower levels of testosterone will increase the craving for sugar. Testosterone is also capable of reducing the fat storage.
- Estrogen. Lack of estrogen will maximize the appetite for sugar in women.
- Progesterone. It is a sex hormone. It is capable generating energy out of body fat. When the Progesterone levels are down, the body will start to store fat without utilizing them.
- HGH, Insulin, Incretin, Pregnenolone are other hormones that help to keep fat levels low and stay healthy.
