Hormones can affect our weight. Therefore, to keep the weight normal, the hormones must remain in balance. Although it is necessary for all hormones to be in balance, if we talk about weight, then 9 hormones can affect weight. The hormones that affect weight are as follows -

Insulin hormone

Insulin is the main storage hormone in the body. Insulin hormone is produced by the pancreas. In healthy individuals, insulin promotes the storage of glucose i.e. stores glucose. Let us tell you that the body releases a large amount of insulin after a meal, but many times the body is not able to produce enough insulin hormone or the insulin is not able to function properly. This condition is known as insulin resistance.

When a person has insulin resistance, his blood sugar level may increase, because in this condition the insulin hormone is not able to carry glucose to the cells. In this situation, the weight of the person can increase rapidly. He may have to worry about obesity. Insulin resistance can also increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease, including obesity.
