    Hormones are chemical substances that act as messenger molecules in the body, traveling from one part to another to help control how cells and organs function. Some key hormones include insulin, which regulates blood sugar; thyroid hormones, which regulate metabolism; and sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, which control sexual development. Hormones are secreted by endocrine cells, circulate through the body fluids, and regulate target cells, helping with growth, development, metabolism, and responding to stress or emergencies. Maintaining hormonal balance through foods like avocado, flax seeds, salmon, nuts, leafy greens and turmeric can support the important roles hormones play in the body.
