Why do some people age very quickly, such as poor skin quality, weight gain, gray hair, hair loss, weakened physical and muscle strength, and even decreased sexual function and libido? Anti-aging expert Wang Guiliang said that aging is closely related to the deficiency and imbalance of 5 kinds of hormones. If you want to rejuvenate, you should do the following 5 steps in your daily life, which will help prevent the reduction of these 5 kinds of anti-aging hormones and avoid premature aging.
5 hormones closely related to aging
The endocrine system of the human body is one of the three major systems in charge of the normal operation of the physiological functions of the human body (the other two are the nervous system and the immune system). The chemical substances secreted by the endocrine glands are hormones, also known as hormones, which are chemical transduction substances. After being secreted from the glands, they are transmitted to various parts of the body through body fluids or blood to regulate various physiological functions.
In fact, there are five hormones that are closely related to aging, including: growth hormone secreted by the pituitary gland, melatonin secreted by the pineal gland, thyroxine secreted by the thyroid gland, and dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) secreted by the adrenal gland. , anti-stress hormones), and sex hormones (estrogen, testosterone) secreted by the female ovaries and male testicles. Anti-aging expert Wang Guiliang stated in his new book “The Wise Man Who Makes Genes: A Lifelong Anti-aging Maintenance Method” that if these five hormones are insufficient or out of balance, people will age.
The key to rejuvenation: 5 essential anti-aging hormones
1. Growth hormone:
It is a growth-promoting hormone. In recent years, the cell repair and regeneration function of growth hormone has made it a popular anti-aging therapy. The deep sleep period at night is the peak of growth hormone secretion, so a good night’s sleep is especially important. As the saying goes: “One inch of sleep is bigger than one inch”, and there is evidence for it. Children who do not sleep at night have insufficient growth hormone and are prone to stunting. Clinically, growth hormone is used to treat growth retardation in children. The so-called beauty sleep is also between 11:00 pm and 4:00 am. If you often stay up late and lack growth hormone, your appearance will tend to look old, especially following the age of 25, skin and bone quality will deteriorate, gray hair, hair loss, and physical strength. Weakened muscle strength, decreased sexual function and libido… will report early.
Melatonin is the biological clock that regulates the circadian rhythm. Its importance is to make people fall asleep at night so that they can accept the effect of growth hormone during sleep.

3. Thyroxine:
In charge of metabolism and regulating body functions. Hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism can seriously affect the physiology. Increased basal metabolism leads to excessive endocrine, protruding eyes, increased appetite but weight loss, rapid heartbeat and breathing, insomnia, sweating, tiredness, etc., are common symptoms of hyperthyroidism. Conversely, hypothyroidism can lead to poor mental and physical functions, cognitive confusion, poor energy, cold hands and feet, lethargy, edema, rough skin, obesity, and weak resistance.
4. The anti-stress hormone DHEA secreted by the adrenal gland:
Also regarded as anti-aging (rejuvenation) hormone, it can promote metabolism and tissue regeneration. Stress is the accelerator of aging. Long-term stress will cause stress hormone imbalance (too much adrenal cortisol, too little anti-stress hormone), open the door to premature aging, and cause aging diseases, such as: high blood pressure, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, Brain damage, low immunity, etc.
5. Sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone and testosterone):
Decreased sex hormones and atrophy of reproductive organs will not only reduce libido and sexual performance, but also accelerate aging phenomena such as bone loss, dry skin and mucous membranes, hair loss, obesity, depression, forgetfulness, and menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, palpitations, and night sweats. Very annoying.
Proper regulation of the above-mentioned anti-aging hormones can help the endocrine to return to the best state and slow down the aging of cells. Firstly, it will prevent aging, and secondly, it will prevent major diseases. People become energetic, energetic, mentally and emotionally healthy. As you get better, your self-awareness and self-confidence will also improve.
4 ways to prevent hormone reduction
Maintaining a good lifestyle can also help prevent the reduction of these 5 anti-aging hormones:
1. Maintain a good routine:A good schedule to maintain the circadian rhythm includes: working at sunrise and resting at sunset. If you don’t sleep at night, even if you sleep at any time during the day, growth hormone will not be secreted.
2. Pay attention to decompression:Because stress depletes anti-stress hormones.
3. Eat a balanced diet:Take in the nutrients you need with a balanced, healthy, and varied diet.
4. Maintain moderate exercise:Excessive exercise will produce a lot of free radicals, which will damage cells.
