Change Female Hormone Imbalance with Food Modifications

Eating vegetables can help balance hormone levels
Progesterone & Estrogen Levels Must be Well-balanced for Healthy Weight
Even while you exercise, eat a healthy diet and stay active if you find that you don’t lose weight as expected it must be the work of your hormones. Our body is in our hands and we may feel awkward to blame the hormones for physical changes, but the reality is that these contribute to different health challenges. Female sex hormones such as estrogen and progesterone, thyroid hormones, insulin, cortisol and leptin are the major ones contributing towards these difficult weight loss goals. Meet a reputed dietitian/nutritionist at www.firsteatright.com to start your weight loss journey in a positive way. Some basic nutritional changes for these imbalances can sometimes set things right.
​
  • When you detect estrogen holding an upper hand on your body it is advisable to eat at least 500 grams of vegetables per day dividing their consumption equally through the day. The fiber content of these vegetables helps excrete the unwanted excess hormone out of the body. You can eat up to 35-45 grams of fiber every day but try to achieve this target slowly (5-gram increase daily) as you might suffer from bloating and gas otherwise.
  • If your leptin levels are high, it is recommended that you decrease your fructose content in the diet.
  • To tackle insulin resistance, you can drink filtered water with apple cider vinegar. Even a study has found that drinking two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar before a high-carb meal reduces blood glucose levels in individuals with diabetes.
  • The best way to deal with high cortisol levels is to stop consuming caffeine for a couple of days and noticing your sleep and stress levels. They are sure to improve once the caffeine levels in your body decrease.

​Post Pregnancy Weight Loss. Bangalore - 02 March 2013 writes......


​Motherhood brings unparalleled joys. It brings indescribable agonies of body too. And being a fitness freak for7 long years, my whooping 21kgs of weight gain sent me into throes of despondency. I was at the brink of desperation to get rid of those unhealthy flabs. 83kgs was weighing me down, literally. I joined my gym back a year later but a twisted ankle and some silly cysts erupting from my ovaries made my struggle a bit more severe.

My distress was growing manifold. My yoga, my dance, my weight training..i missed them all. And more than that, missed my fitness. And then ; I thought "if not now, then never". A newspaper ad took my resolution flying towards 'first eat right'. And there she was, my angel, Dr. Nafeesa. and there was no looking back after that .............................  http://www.firsteatright.com/testimonial.html
