“The endocrine system influences every cell, organ, and function of our bodies.” By the time a girl or boy reaches puberty they become increasingly aware of the effect of hormones. Hormones influence our moods and energy level from birth. We couldn’t get along without them. “The foundations of the endocrine system are the hormones and glands. As the body’s chemical messengers they transfer information and instructions from one set of cells to another.” www.gobodhiyoga.com
We easily think of the sex hormones because their development can change how we look and feel in pretty dramatic ways. Other hormones have just as an important role. The thyroid gland produces hormones that play a role in the development of the brain and nervous system as well as the rate at which cells burn fuels from food to produce energy. The pancreatic and adrenal glands have a great del to do with the regulation of blood sugar and emotional and physical energy. The pineal glad regulates sleep.
Doing Restorative Yoga is very beneficial to our glands and the hormones they secrete. We all live with stress. Yoga helps to minimize the negative affects and bring greater peace to our lives.
