Hormones are substances released into the bloodstream from the gland or organs and affect the activity of the cell in another part of the body. Binding of the hormone to the receptor accelerates, slows or otherwise changes cellular function. They control growth and development, reproduction, and sexual characteristics. The affect the way the body uses or stores energy. They control the volume of fluids, salt level and sugar in the blood. In short hormones manage all physiological processes in the body, and when they are in balance physical, mental and emotional functioning of the human beings is in full capacity. A human feels vital and healthy, full of energy and looks good. But what happens when it's not? When does a human not feel good in his body, when does something prevent him from enjoying life, when does the body start to require excessive salty or sweet food? When does a human get thicker despite the normal food intake, depressed, anxious and generally in a bad mood? If health screenings do not indicate a state of clear inflammation or any other pathological condition what's happening in the body is most likely to be hormonal imbalance. Many current research on the effects of hormone on gender suggests that women are special prone to, and sensitive to, the changes that bear minimal hormonal imbalances. This paper discusses the effect of hormones on female health, and generally on physical, mental and emotional functioning of women in today's times when demands, personal and environmental enhancement,are demanding and sometimes exhausting. The second part of the paper presents a research on information and attitudes women have regarding hormones, the influence of hormones on women's health, and the affect of proper nutrition on hormonal status. People are confronted with stress, energy shortage and weight gain, and women are the ones who, because of hormonal imbalance, have greater health consequences. Nutrition as a key element for achieving hormonal balance, with some changes in life style, have proved to be key factors for achieving a life balance.
