A hormone is a specific molecule that acts as a chemical messenger in the endocrine system. Hormones are produced by specific organs and glands and are secreted into the blood or other body fluids. Most hormones are carried by the circulatory system to different areas of the body, where they influence specific cells and organs. Hormones regulate various biological activities including growth; development; rep roduction; energy use and storage; and water and electrolyte balance. Hormone Signaling Hormones that are circulated in the blood come in contact with a number of cells. However, they only influence certain target cells. Target cells have specific receptors for a specific hormone. Target cell receptors can be located on the surface of the cell membrane or inside of the cell. When a hormone binds to a receptor, it causes changes within the cell that influence cellular function. This type of hormone signaling is described as  endocrine signaling because...

Eating vegetables are an important part of a healthy diet. They  are the  source of phytochemicals. These chemical compounds provide antioxidant properties, according to chronic research.

Because of this benefit, consuming vegetables is linked to decreased incidence of cancer, heart disease, and degenerative illness. It has been said eating raw vegetables provides the best nutrients.
