Probing the surface of hormonal health - keeping estrogen in check:
With hormonal imbalances being so pervasive in our world, I believe you will find helpful the following set of suggestions for using foods and food supplements to combat toxic variations of estrogenic build ups in the body.
As the foundation include: 1) cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, kale, etc.) & cruciferous indoles in supplemental forms; 2) citrus fruits (all of them) and citrus peels (lemon, lime & orange when dried); 3) omega-3 oils & omega-3 oil rich food; 4) organic dairy fats (butter, aged cheese, whole milk, etc.); 5) passionflower & chamomile flower (ideally in standardized supplemental form); 6) garlic & onions
A second layer of defensive foods that are rich in plant sterols: 1) olives & olive oils; 2) avocados; 3) stabilized rice germ oil & wheat germ oil; 4) nuts & seeds: sesame, almonds, cashews, macadamias, peanuts, pecans, pistachios, walnuts and defatted flax; 5) stinging nettle root (supplement)
Lastly, the liver detoxifiers, antioxidants & blood sugar stabilizers: 1) spices (turmeric, oregano, thyme, rosemary and sage; 2) herbs (reishi mushroom, milk thistle, dandelion root, shilajit, amla berry, ginger & gotu kola 3) green vegetables in general; 4) berries in general; 5) apples, papaya & pineapple; 6) legumes (other than soy); 7) whole oats 8) barley
End Note: When eating or drinking the sweeter fruits, be mindful not to over do it. Erratic blood sugar, elevated insulin levels and insulin resistance together can make your body prone to excessive adipose tissue and estrogenic build ups as a consequence.
