Fasting and Hormonal Balance
Fasting can have a significant effect on hormones, especially those related to metabolism and appetite regulation. Fasting boosts levels of norepinephrine and human growth hormone (HGH), which help burn fat and repair tissues. However, it can also disrupt estrogen levels in women if done excessively.Key Hormonal Effects:
• Increased norepinephrine (for fat burning)• Higher human growth hormone levels
• Potential impact on estrogen levels in women
Always consult a healthcare professional if you notice any hormonal imbalances while fasting.
