Onions are a staple in many kitchens, but how you store them matters more than most people realize. Cutting an onion and leaving it for later use can increase the risk of bacterial growth and foodborne illness.

What Happens When Your Hormones Are Too High

 What Happens When Your Hormones Are Too High



Hormones control almost everything in your body — from your energy and skin to your mood and weight. When one or more hormones rise above normal levels, your body starts sending warning signs.


  • High Estrogen may cause acne, mood swings, and painful periods.
  • High Testosterone can lead to facial or body hair growth, thinning hair, and oily skin.
  • High Insulin often results in bloating, irregular cycles, PCOS, and even diabetes risk.
  • High Cortisol (the stress hormone) brings nervousness, sleep problems, and digestion issues.
  • Hyperthyroidism causes fatigue, weight loss, sweating, and heat intolerance.



These signs shouldn’t be ignored. Hormonal imbalance is often linked to diet, stress, and poor sleep. A nutrient-rich diet, regular exercise, and balanced rest can help your hormones return to harmony.


Your body is always trying to communicate. Learn to listen.
