Uncover the cause of endocrine disorders: high heels are to blame

1. Long-term wearing of high heels causes endocrine disorders

He Qin, 25 years old, is an absolute "high-heeled shoe addict". Because I am not very tall, I like to wear high heels, and the lowest heel is five or six centimeters. Sometimes I feel that something doesn’t quite fit my feet, but I still buy it because I think the style looks good. Whether she is working or shopping, she wears high heels most of the time every day, and has been doing so for three or four years.

But recently, He Qin's body and mind have undergone bad changes - she feels inexplicably irritable and everything she sees is unpleasant to the eyes; her appetite has decreased and nothing tastes good; she cannot sleep well at night and her period has been delayed for several days for two consecutive months. After examination and analysis by the doctor, it was believed that He Qin had no pressure in life and work recently, and had no habits of staying up late, smoking or drinking, which might be related to the high heels she was wearing.

"Similar symptoms in young women are mostly related to wearing high heels for a long time or shoes that do not fit their feet." Health experts said that many women like to wear high heels, or skinny shoes or pointed shoes that make their feet look thinner, but they don't realize that although they look fashionable and beautiful, their feet will not be able to bear it after a long time.

"In addition, the toes are squeezed for a long time, which can cause poor blood circulation in the feet. In severe cases, it can cause poor blood circulation in the brain. Through nerve conduction, people become irritable, even sad and depressed, which can cause loss of appetite, refusal to eat, or endocrine disorders."

2. Not eating staple foods can easily lead to endocrine disorders

Many female friends have the problem of not being able to eat, or some people don’t eat staple foods to lose weight. Doing so will aggravate endocrine disorders. In addition, frequently choosing fast food as the staple food can easily cause endocrine disorders, because too much saturated fat in fast food will stimulate excessive secretion of estrogen. The steroids in the fat can be converted into estrogen in the body. Excessive intake of artificial hormones and excessive toxins in the body will cause endocrine disorders.

3. Negative emotions affect endocrine

Psychology is also an important cause of endocrine disorders. Because women are very sensitive psychologically, sometimes a small thing can cause a big fluctuation in emotions, and this tension will be reflected in the nervous system, causing hormone secretion disorders, which is commonly known as endocrine disorders. For example: liver qi stagnation, violent anger hurts the liver, worry hurts the spleen, and panic hurts the kidneys, all of which may cause qi disorder, qi stagnation and blood stasis, further aggravating women's already disordered endocrine system.

4. Environmental pollution leads to endocrine disorders

Severe environmental pollution is one of the important causes of endocrine disorders in women. Some chemicals in the air enter the human body through various channels and, after a series of chemical reactions, lead to endocrine disorders, causing women to have menstrual disorders, endometrial hyperplasia and many other problems.

There is no exact statistical result on how many endocrine disruptors exist in the environment at present, but there are more than 60 chemical substances listed as "endocrine disruptors" by countries around the world.

5. One's own physiological factors affect endocrine

The body's endocrine hormones can maintain physiological balance, but these "growth regulators" do not exist permanently and generally change with age. If you do not pay attention to regulation, disorders can easily occur. For example, when women reach menopause, due to the decline of their own ovarian function, various hormone levels in the body will change, leading to menopausal endocrine disorders.

For those female friends who feel that there is a problem with their endocrine system but it has not affected their normal life, it is best to check their lifestyle first. Are they too busy at work? Do they get too little sleep? Do they have too much psychological pressure? Are they too depressed? Once it is discovered that the endocrine disorder is more serious, they should first go to a professional hospital for a hormone test. After finding the root cause of the disorder, they should solve the endocrine disorder fundamentally. Do not prescribe medicine randomly on your own.

Endocrine regulation mainly starts with diet and exercise, supplemented by drug treatment when necessary. Develop good eating habits, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, high-protein foods, drink plenty of water to replenish the body's water needs, and at the same time participate in various sports and exercises to strengthen your physical fitness. You must also have a scientific life routine and do not stay up late often, so as not to disrupt normal physiological laws, causing hormone secretion imbalance or even deficiency, and causing other diseases. You must also make sure to pay attention to rest and get enough sleep.
