The Role of Hormones - Steroids

The Role of Hormones - Steroids

Some of us are unaware how hormones and steroids play a role in physical health and fitness. Some of us believe that the hormones are a negative tool that God provided us, and when the hormones act up, others reap the results. The fact is hormones are essential to physical health, while steroids are also essential, steroids can become hazardous. Hormones and steroids can be maintained by the foods we eat.

While the body produces a degree of its own steroids, steroids are dangerous to digest. Many body builders will use steroids to pump up the muscles.

The key to success is that hormones and steroids need to remain at a stable level. There are a couple of ways to tell if your hormones are not at a normal level. In addition, we are going to talk about hormones primarily, since steroids are a necessity, yet a thing that we should put in the back of our minds for a moment. If you are overweight, then your hormones are off balance. On the other hand, if you are underweight, your hormones can be off balance. If you want to get a balanced hormone level, you should eat foods that include carbohydrates, protein, and fats, just don’t overdo it.


Carbohydrates should be consumed since they “stimulate insulin,” while ‘protein affects the hormone glucagons.”  Fat influences the Eicosanoids, which are a form of hormones produced in the body. Insulin is similar to the hormones, in the sense that if insulin is high or low, your body is affected negatively. Insulin is the “storage hormone” that informs the body when nutrients are entering. If your insulin level is insufficient, your cells are starving to death, while if your insulin level is higher than normal, it can increase weight and the process of aging. This is why you should avoid eating too many carbohydrates, but at the same time, makes sure you consume enough to keep you healthy. You can also consume too many calories. Calories if over consumed will “increase insulin levels.”

Thus, the insulin determines the weight as well as other factors. Therefore, if you are exercising to lose weight, it is important to understand what your body requires to keep afloat.

Calories produce insulin, but if there is nowhere for the insulin to store the calories, it is soon turned into “fat” and eventually “sent” to “your hips, stomach, or other problem areas for storage.” Diabetes begins when a person consumes too much of one nutrient. (There are other factors that contribute to diabetes, but when the insulin passage is blocked, diabetes is a risk) When the insulin in the body cannot store foods, and sends it to fat, then the insulin is stumped and blocks “the release of any stored body fat for energy.” Now if you want to know why you can’t lose weight, well here is your answer. Now if you are consuming protein in moderation, then you creating a source that is stimulating “the release of Glucagons.” Glucagons is a protein hormone that produces by islets of Langerhans, and promotes at the same time rising sugar substance of the blood; by increasing the rate of glycogen breakdown in the liver; which if the body has improper nutrients, then your body is in big trouble. If you Glucagons level are not stable, you will not only suffer from fatigue, but you will also feel hungry constantly.

Insulin then works with Glucagons acting as a balance, and when “one hormone goes up, and then the other hormone goes down.” Combing carbohydrates with protein in moderation can help you maintain a stable Glucagons level. While fat has no links to insulin in one way, it has a link in other ways.

Climbing the stairs to fitness must include the proper nutrients to remain healthy, yet exercise once more is the ultimate combination that mixes with dieting that must be included in any plan for it to work.
