If you have a estrogen dominant hormonal condition like endometriosis or fibroids, or if you want to promote healthy estrogen levels and metabolism in your body, then there are 3 foods you may want to add into your diet.
#1 Cruciferous vegetables
Cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, brussel sprouts, kale, and cauliflower contain metabolites known as indole glucosinolates (indoles for short) and sulphorane. These metabolites help our body to detoxify estrogen, convert unhealthy forms of estrogen to healthier forms, and balance estrogen and progesterone levels in the body.
#2 Flaxseeds
Flaxseeds are a super food for hormonal health. They contain lignans that help to metabolize estrogen, balance the hormonal effect of estrogen on our body, and reduce our risk for breast cancer
#3 Green tea
Green tea is a powerful antioxidant that contains metabolites like polyphenols and flavonoids. These metabolites help us to detoxify toxins, bind and detox hormones, and prevent cancer.
I strongly recommend all women to consider adding these 3 things to their daily diet. Now remember, how much of it you should have and in what form are relative for each persons condition. Make sure to talk with a trusted expert to help you navigate these super foods.
