How did you score?
Mostly As You’ve lost your mojo
Your spark is gone, and your hormones are probably to blame. If your libido is fluctuating, you might have low testosterone – and when it’s out of balance, it affects sex drive. Reduce your stress, and try to balance your blood sugars by eating lean protein and fresh fruits and veg.
Mostly Bs You’ve got bad mood swings
Life is a roller-coaster, and you can’t hide it! You want to scream, a lot. When balanced, oestrogen, progesterone and testosterone keep you in good health. Oestrogren boosts your mood – but in excess can cause anxiety. Exercise makes you happier – as do good sleep and a healthy diet.
Mostly Cs You’re self-conscious
The hormone leptin plays a big role in controlling satiety when it comes to hunger. Low levels can lead to overeating and weight gain, which can make your mood low. Leptin is produced effectively when stress is managed properly, so try to keep calm. It’s stimulated by ample fats, so have a healthy diet – and avoid too many treats.
Mostly Ds You’ve lost your glow
To you, life is an uphill struggle – and you’re exhausted – yet when your head hits the pillow you can’t sleep. Cortisol helps our get-upand-go us in small doses, but too much tips the body into a stress response – where melatonin is the cure. Support melatonin levels by reducing screen time before bed and sleep in pitch darkness.
