Yes it will : Yes it will. Hormones are released into the bloodstream and exert biochemical effects on receptor sites to regulate our body’s temperature, metabolism, reproduction, growth, aging and immune functions. Unfortunately, as the body ages, the levels of hormones diminish, slowing down functions such as metabolism. Age varies for each individual depending on overall health and exercise.
