Hormones and Their Impact on Body and Mood Even on holidays, does extreme fatigue weigh down your body, or does your mood suddenly become irritable without any reason?

A hormone is a type of biochemical substance. It is produced from specific endocrine or ductless glands. It travels from its origin through fluid or with the help of blood to regulate bodily functions. It is destroyed after completing…

In a woman’s life, amidst managing family, work, studies, children, relationships, and various responsibilities, taking care of oneself often takes a back seat. Yet to stay healthy, just taking care of others is not enough—taking care of one’s own body and mind is equally important. In the minds of most women, when trying to find a little time for themselves, a strange sense of guilt works—”If I give time to myself, won’t my family members be neglected?” Self-care does not mean just skincare, makeup, or a beauty routine. It is a combination of certain daily habits that help keep the…

After age 30, many men notice that they no longer have the same energy, enthusiasm, or stamina as before. Feeling tired easily, fat starting to accumulate around the belly—many simply dismiss these as the “effects of aging.” However, a major reason behind this could be the gradual decline of the hormone Testosterone. In us men’s bodies, the core foundation of energy, confidence, endurance, and physical and mental well-being is a special hormone—Testosterone. Muscle building, strong bones, facial hair growth (beard and mustache), a deep voice, fertility, intense passion for work, and boundless energy—testosterone acts as the craftsman behind all these…

Let’s think about a very familiar and realistic situation today. Right from the moment we wake up in the morning, we are overwhelmed by work pressure, studies, family responsibilities, financial worries, and a flood of digital notifications on our smartphones.

Your body is utterly exhausted, your eyes are heavy with sleep, but strangely, sleep just won’t descend upon your mind. That is because your head is spinning with tomorrow’s work plans, regrets over past…

Around 90% of people in the world check their phones within the first 10 minutes of waking up in the morning. We complete a major part of our work through computers or mobiles, and until the very last moment before sleeping at night, scrolling through Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, X, or Shorts and Reels continues. Technology has undoubtedly made our lives easier. We can connect with people anywhere in the world in just a few seconds; online education, office work, banking, shopping—everything is now at our fingertips. We have unconsciously become trapped in an invisible digital chain. Technology has increased our…

In today’s highly competitive life, daily work pressure, studies, family responsibilities, economic uncertainty, worry about the future, and being constantly connected to the digital world—all combined, our brain remains busy almost all the time. But we forget that our body and mind have a specific capacity. When we keep taking mental stress beyond that capacity day after day, month after month, then the mind and brain become completely inactive. Which is called Mental Burnout. Burnout is not an ordinary tiredness that if one sleeps a bit extra for one night, everything will be fine the next morning. It is…

In our busy lives, there are many people who stay up late for work, studies, social media, or entertainment. Our day starts with office email notifications or social media feeds on our smartphones, and the night ends with scrolling continuously on the screen while lying in bed. Many think, “It doesn’t matter if I sleep a little less today, I will sleep tomorrow.” Again, some think that to be successful, working more with less sleep is the smart thing to do. But reality is completely different. Every day, without even knowing it, we are sacrificing an invaluable thing, and that…
