Foods To Eat To Help Balance Your Hormones

According to “Mayoclinic”, Hormonal imbalances can cause problems from infertility to diabetes, but certain foods can help keep your hormones balanced and your body functioning properly. Hormones are chemical messengers that have profound effects on your mental, physical, and emotional health. Below are some of the foods to eat to help balance your hormones.

1. Avocados.

The plant sterols in avocados help regulate estrogen and progesterone, which can help regulate ovulation. Its healthy fats help you stay full. Avocados also can help balance cortisol and lower your cholesterol.

2. Antioxidant-rich vegetables.

According to “Everydayhealth“, Antioxidants are vital for neutralizing free radical damage triggered by oxidative stress. This is important for skin health and overall cellular function, but it also plays a role in helping maintain healthy hormone levels. Research has shown that free-radical cause damage to our thyroid function and pituitary gland. 

3. Pumpkin Seeds.

Pumpkin seeds are a great source of magnesium. Magnesium is an anti-stress mineral that works alongside vitamin C and vitamin B5 to support the adrenal glands and lower stress levels. Unfortunately, stress depletes our magnesium levels. Hence, it is important to consume pumpkin seeds regularly to maintain magnesium levels.

4. Eggs.

According to “Healthline”, There are some myths out there about eggs and hormonal imbalance, but in actuality, eggs are one of the best foods for balancing hormones, as they have a positive impact on insulin and ghrelin hormones in the body. Specifically, insulin controls blood sugar while ghrelin controls appetite.
