What are hormones?

Hormones in general are substances that are critical for immunity, metabolism and body regulation.
Various changes are happening inside our bodies every day as we age, which tend to cause hormonal imbalance and decrease in secretion.
Hormonal imbalance or decrease in secretion can cause symptoms such as abnormal blood sugar level and blood pressure abnormality.
It is thus important to keep our hormonal condition as young as possible in order to maintain our health.
