Have you ever been told it is your hormones luv?  , These invisible little chemical messengers that are busy every day, communicating with the brain and different organs and cells in the body to regulate body function. There are many including Oxytocin from the pituitary gland to engage the uterus to contract in labour and expel the fetus. Release adrenaline from the adrenal glands in response to a perceived stress, a large dog with a mouthful of teeth running to wards you.  The release of adrenaline will increase your heart rate and blood supply to the heart and peripheral tissue so you can run super fast away from harm. Melatonin and seratonin at night is increased to make us ready for bed and a sound nights sleep. The system that regulates our hormones is known as the endocrine system, over the month on blog and facebook I am going to share with you all about these little hormones and how they work in your body.  If the picture of the dog with teeth below dosn't make you roar with laughter.
