The endocrine system regulates and maintains various body functions through glands that synthesize and release hormones directly into the bloodstream, influencing cells, organs, and bodily functions. It helps control the body through hormones that regulate metabolism, growth and development, tissue function, sexual function, reproduction, sleep, and mood. Maintaining a healthy endocrine system requires keeping glands healthy through exercise and diet low in junk food.
