Hormones are extremely important for the proper functioning of the body, and they help in boosting certain functions such as hunger, sense of cravings and the way the body stores fat. “Weight gain or inability to lose weight isn’t just an issue associated with the food you eat or how much you exercise. It can also be affected by stress, sleep, gut health, genes, exposure to environmental toxins, the mind-body connection, and hormones,” wrote Nutritionist Marina Wright.(Unsplash)
