Abstract Hormones act like physiological internet signals for communication
among all the human systems and effects immunity, metabolism, and reproduction.
Nutritious and balanced food plays an important role in proper production of hormones especially quality of fats. Omega-3 fatty acid is key ingredient for proper
hormone production and their normal functions. Nuts, seeds, olive oil, coconut oil,
and fatty fish provide healthy amount of omega-3 fatty acids. Cruciferous vegetables and Nutraceutical compounds from fruits like pomegranate, figs and dates
maintain and stimulate balance hormonal network in the blood. Probiotics from
food help in proper functions of hormones by detoxification of liver and gut. Seeds
like flax seed and sesame seeds play important role in female hormonal regulation.
A good quality sleep and stress reliving exercises also normalizes the imbalance
hormones.

Because hormones can make the life of person a haven in balance state. But the
imbalances of them make that person trouble from mood swing to digestion. Each
