What to Pay Attention to for Hormonal Imbalance
Disease description:
Two years ago, I was trying to lose weight and ended up eating very little every day with irregular meal times. My menstrual cycle became abnormal and I developed acne, which made me feel like my endocrine system was out of balance. Could you please advise what precautions should be taken for endocrine disorders?

Dr. Yang Ziqi
When experiencing hormonal imbalance, the following aspects require attention:
1. Emotional management: Maintain a positive and optimistic mindset, avoiding prolonged stress or anxiety, as emotional fluctuations can affect the balance of the endocrine system.
2. Dietary regulation: Maintain a diversified diet and balanced intake of various nutrients. Particularly increase consumption of foods rich in protein and vitamins, while reducing intake of sweets and spicy foods. Additionally, maintain regular eating habits and avoid overeating.
3. Adequate sleep: Ensure sufficient sleep and avoid staying up late, as sleep is crucial for the recovery and regulation of the endocrine system.
4. Moderate exercise: Choose suitable forms of exercise according to individual conditions, such as walking or yoga. Avoid strenuous exercise that may lead to excessive physical fatigue and disrupt the balance of the endocrine system.
