<\/p>\nA woman’s body is known to go through changes at every milestone in her life. It could be at the stage of puberty, while giving birth, and also during the menopause stage. And most of the changes in a woman’s body are driven by the production of hormones. And even if there is slightest misbalance in these hormones woman’s body gets affected and mostly the outcomes of such imbalances are unreasonable weight gains. Ideal weight with a slim and tender body is a dream for many women. Oftentimes, women end up blaming their eating habits for the unreasonable weight they put on. And women also know that gaining weight is very easy, however, losing weight is very difficult. This makes millions of women out there to run on the diet track and maintain a healthy routine and lifestyle. They do this with the hope of getting fitter and back in good shape. While this change (which is a positive one) might work for many, for a majority of women it doesn’t. Despite following a healthy lifestyle, women find themselves in the realms of the same bodyweight, it almost feels like their body is resisting weight loss from happening. And if you were to ask what might be the reason behind this? The answer lays in the world of hormones. Let’s understand a little more about how exactly are hormones responsible for weight gain in the women’s gender.<\/p>\n

This gland produces three hormones:<\/p>\n Now, when the thyroid gland doesn\u2019t produce sufficient of these thyroid hormones<\/a>, iodine deficiency is born. This affects the working of the immune system in a manner that the immune system begins to think that the body itself is a threat and starts attacking it. This slows down both the healthy heart rate and metabolism rate of the body leading to weight gain in an unreasonable manner.<\/p>\n We all know that estrogen can be proudly called as the queen hormone in women as it is responsible for the sexual and reproductive growth of a woman. These four member hormones of this family that perform different, unique functions:<\/p>\n The decline in estrogen levels especially during the menopause stage in a woman’s life will cause immense weight gain. This is because the active estrogen, the estradiol reduces in the body and this leads to a lower metabolism rate. Weight gets accumulates especially in the abdomen area of the body. Also, a heavy spike in estrogen levels as well can cause weight gain as it would irritate the cells of the body and begin to develop insulin resistivity.<\/p>\n During pregnancy when the development of the embryo is taking place and while regulating menstrual cycles, the progesterone plays a vital role. Progesterone needs to balance out with estrogen in order to help in the smooth functioning of the body.<\/p>\n Menopause, stress, antibiotics intake, contraceptives intake can reduce the levels of progesterone in the body. This can lead to not just weight gain but it can also lead to fatal depression as well.<\/p>\n This is the hormone that controls the energy that the body uses and it also controls the amount of food that the body consumes for energy. This hormone generates form the fat cells of the body. People who are obese have incredible levels of leptin in their bodies. They end up overeating, this spikes their sugar levels which convert into fat, and this leads to weight gain.<\/p>\n However, a rare deficiency of this hormone will make the body feel like it needs to consume more fat. This will make the person overeat beyond satiety and naturally leads to weight gain.<\/p>\n Yes, most of us know that testosterone<\/a> is a male hormone. But as much as it is labeled as a male hormone, it is essential for the growth of a woman\u2019s body as well. The only difference is that in a woman\u2019s body, it is produced in tiny quantities. The presence of testosterone is important because it helps burn fat, provides strength to the muscles of the body, and also helps maintain the sex drive instinct in women.<\/p>\n If a woman has low levels of testosterone, it becomes tough for her body to get rid of the fat in her body. The fat adapts the stubborn nature and it results in weight gain.<\/p>\n Read<\/strong>: How To Boost Growth Hormone Naturally?<\/a><\/p>\n Weight gain caused because of hormones can be stressful as it becomes incredibly hard to lose weight.
