The health of your skin, the flexibility of your joints and
muscles, the energy required to meet responsibilities of daily living,
the metabolism of ingested foods, the very foundation of youth
all depend upon one group of important organs, your glands.
These internal “fountains of youth” are able to release
health building substances called hormones. These secretions
regulate and also rule just about every activity of your body and your
mind. An adequate amount of hormones will help keep you youth-
ful and healthy. An excess can cause erratic physiological and
emotional responses. A deficiency can cause aging and the onset
of gradual deterioration of the body. The goal is to keep your glands
healthy so they release a balanced amount of hormones every
moment of your life.
