Women, there are those times when you just don’t understand where your mood is coming from, and it changes without warning. This is a common experience for many women. Fortunately, there are foods that can effectively improve your mood. And this is where hormone balancing food comes to play.
By simply eating the right food, you can experience a great difference in your energy and mood. A diet packed with highly nutritious food can drastically reduce the symptoms of hormonal imbalance such as depression, mood swings, acne, and weight gain.
Here is the list of hormone-balancing food for women:
- Spirulina – my number 1 recommendation!
Are you familiar with the blue-green algae found in ponds and lakes? Well, it is known as Spirulina and it contains high amounts of magnesium, calcium, and potassium. It is rich in hormone-balancing nutrients, which can help reduce mood problems, cramps, inflammation, and breast tenderness. Therefore, it can reduce the risk of blood sugar problems by resolving the root cause of hormonal imbalance. It is also alkalizing the body which means less inflammation and is great for improving your fertility.
2. Vitex
Vitex is also called Chaste Tree Berry, which is a powerful medicinal herb. This is especially ideal for women’s health because it helps produce high progesterone levels. Vitex can help relieve PMS symptoms such as depressed mood, irritability, headache, skin disorder, fatigue, bloating, breast fullness, or sleeplessness. Vitex tincture gives you the best results and can be added to herbal teas. Good for those of us with PCOS too.
3. Bee Pollen
In traditional Chinese medicine, bee pollen is specifically used to increase energy, reduce cravings, improve digestion, and build iron. Bee pollen is considered a complete food and is a great source of proteins and other important nutrients such as folic acid and vitamin B. These nutrients are effective in balancing hormones, improving your mood, and stabilizing weight.
4. Avocado
Avocados are great sources of good fats that are essential for hormone synthesis. The nutrients from avocados help your skin release and circulate the hormones necessary to stay healthy. It is recommended to eat half an avocado per day to get a beneficial amount of fiber, monounsaturated fatty acids, vitamins C and E, potassium, and lutein.
5. Salmon
If you are consuming animal protein, then salmon is good for your brain and heart health. It also balances your hormones because it contains omega-3 fatty acids, which serve as a major building block for hormone synthesis. Its anti-inflammatory properties can help fight skin irritations, including eczema and acne.
To stay healthy as well as balance your hormones, you need to eat the right food. The foods on this list can produce amazing results.
Put an end to your mood swings and other hormonal imbalance symptoms. Are you going to give these hormone balancing food a try? How often do you eat them? Let me know in the comments.
