Specific hormones' role in longevity and healthy aging is a hot topic at the moment.
In fact, it formed the basis of key discussions at the recent International Congress of Neuroendocrinology in Pittsburgh and the Paris Anti-Obesity Therapies Congress.
According to the latest theories, the following hormones may be the key to healthy aging:
1. DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone):
This hormone, produced by the adrenal glands, is the most abundant hormone in the body.
Its anti-aging effects include: protection against dementia and Alzheimer's, heart disease, breast and ovarian cancer, and osteoporosis (the higher the DHEA levels in the body, the higher the bone density).
