Melatonin is a hormone produced in the pineal gland. Recently, it has been all the rage, taken in pill form to cure jet lag. It has also manifested as a libido booster, a soporific, and a potion against aging. However, last spring, researchers at the National Institute of Health claimed the hormone might also be useful in preventing breast cancer. Many of the studies that support this claim have shown that whenever people have more of this hormone, the occurrence of cancer is much lower. Melatonin blocks estrogen receptors on cancer cells, in essence starving the tumor of the hormone that spurs its growth (half of all breast cancers are estrogen sensitive). The release of the hormone naturally occurs when people are exposed to more darkness. There are several ways to increase your natural Melatonin levels. Don't drink to excess because alcohol causes a depression in Melatonin production. You should also get outdoors every day, as sunlight maintains a healthy hormonal rhythm. Don't forget to get a good night's sleep. Melatonin is a very powerful hormone, and taking it in pill form could have unknown side effects. If you are looking to increase your melatonin rate, a safe bet is to do it naturally through lifestyle changes. Discover more tips for preserving your vigor and vitality when you read Health.
