Hormones are your body’s chemical messengers.

Produced in the endocrine glands, these powerful chemicals travel around your bloodstream, telling tissues and organs what to do. They help control many of your body’s major processes, including metabolism and reproduction.

When you have a hormonal imbalance, you have too much or too little of a certain hormone. Even tiny changes can have serious effects throughout your whole body.

Think of hormones like a cake recipe. Too much or too little of any one ingredient affects the final product.

Some hormone levels fluctuate throughout your lifetime and may just be the result of natural aging. But other changes occur when your endocrine glands get the recipe wrong.

Psoriasis occurs when skin cells are replaced more quickly than usual. It's not known exactly why this happens, but research suggests it's caused by a problem with the immune system.

Your body produces new skin cells in the deepest layer of skin. These skin cells gradually move up through the layers of skin until they reach the outermost level, where they die and flake off. This whole process normally takes around 3 to 4 weeks.

However, in people with psoriasis, this process only takes about 3 to 7 days. As a result, cells that are not fully mature build up rapidly on the surface of the skin, causing flaky, crusty patches covered with scales.

Melanoma is cancer that develops from pigment-producing cells called melanocytes.

Most melanomas develop in the skin, but it's also possible for them to occur in other parts of the body, including the eye.

Eye melanoma most commonly affects the eyeball. Doctors sometimes call it uveal or choroidal melanoma, depending on exactly which part of your eye is affected.

It can also affect the conjunctiva (the thin layer that covers the front of the eye) or the eyelid.

Ankylosing spondylitis is a type of arthritis that causes lower back pain. Symptoms include hip pain and a stiff back that may come and go.

Over time, vertebrae in the spinal column may fuse and become rigid (ankylosis). Exercise is one of the best ways to ease pain and maintain flexibility.

Research has shown that women who are of advanced age; those who have a history of cancer or non-cancerous breast diseases in their families; and those who used post menopausal hormone replacement therapy or birth control medicines are at higher risk of developing breast cancer.

Similarly, those who suffer from obesity and those who have insufficient regular exercise or who are exposed to ionizing radiation or environmental pollutants are also at increased risk.

Further studies show that a prolonged disruption to the body's normal circadian rythm through sustained night shift work can add to the probability of females developing breast cancer.

Watching what you eat can help you manage your symptoms of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. Avoid any foods or chemicals you are sensitive to.

A diet rich in polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, avoiding saturated fats and refined carbohydrates—like the Mediterranean Diet—is reported by many people with CFS to be helpful. Eat several small meals throughout the day. For example, three meals and three snacks might help keep energy levels up.

Smaller meals might also help control nausea, which sometimes happens with chronic fatigue syndrome. To help control energy levels, it’s also a good idea to avoid these things:

Sugar

Sweeteners

Alcohol

Caffeine

When your body activates your immune system, it sends out inflammatory cells. These cells attack bacteria or heal damaged tissue.

If your body sends out inflammatory cells when you are not sick or injured, you may have chronic inflammation.

Inflammation is a symptom of many chronic diseases, such as arthritis or Alzheimer’s disease.
