48 Foods to Balance Your Hormones, Boost Your Metabolism, and Lose Weight
I think it is safe to say that we all want a rocking reproductive system, balanced hormones, and glowing skin. Health should be the number one most important thing to a person!
Eating certain nutrient dense foods will put anyone on this path. Whether we like it or not, hormones control our mood, digestion, energy, libido, metabolism, and our skin.
If we do not treat our bodies right and eat the nutrients we need, our body loses the ability to produce hormones correctly or maintain hormonal balance because it does not have the building blocks to do so. The balance of all micronutrients, fat, protein, and carbohydrates is of high importance to health!
Fat is vital for the hormonal imbalance, even though many people tell us to avoid all fats. In actuality, healthy fats support the production and balance of hormones.
Hormone balancing meals should involve herbs, antioxidants, protein, and healthy fats.
