You might just be unknowingly disrupting the hormonal balance in your body.

1 Blue light fools the brain into thinking it's daytime. When that happens, the body stops releasing the sleep hormone- melatonin.

2 Steroid hormones, such as oestrogen and testosterone, can end up in the tap water. The water may still contain traces of hormones hence disrupting the balance.

3 The reason why your cookware is a concern is due to the xenoestrogens (chemicals that mimic estrogen in the body) they can potentially contain, which can mess with your hormone levels.

4 Thermal paper used in receipts, often contains bisphenol A (BPA). Research shows that, after handling thermal paper receipts, people could absorb BPA through the skin and it could end up entering the bloodstream.

5 Parabens are commonly found in perfumes, and they are synthetic preservatives. They are known to disrupt the endocrine system by interfering with both hormone production as well as the release of hormones in the body.

6 Plastics contain hazardous chemicals, which disturb the body's hormone systems to a great extent. Not only that, but they can also cause cancer, diabetes, reproductive disorders, and neurological damage in fetuses and children.
