We talked about last week how hormone health is critical to our overall health and wellbeing. Hormone imbalances and their resulting health issues are becoming more common. 20 million Americans have thyroid disease and 30 million Americans have diabetes. Both of these diseases have a major impact on hormone function.
So now that we know the signs and symptoms of hormonal imbalance are and the foods to crowd out, let’s talk about the foods that support better hormonal health.
Here are some healing foods that support better hormonal health: -Fruits & Vegetables are loaded with vitamins and minerals to support hormonal health. Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can lead to unpleasant symptoms and health concerns including those related to hormones. -Organic foods. Conventionally meat and dairy are loaded with added hormones and toxins that can have an effect on your hormone balance. -Local foods. Get as close to the source as possible. Head to your local farmers market. Knowing where and how you food is grown is an important step for keeping your body in a state of hormonal balance. -Healthy fats are the building blocks of hormones.
