J.28/ Hormonal Balancing
Do you have irregular cycles, painful periods, PMS symptoms? These aren’t signs of healthy hormones, it is possible to have completely symptom free cycles. Your period is your monthly health report card, what would yours say?
If you’d like to improve your hormones there are some basic lifestyle changes you can make. Balancing your hormones means you’ll have regular cycles, pain free bleeds and no PMS symptoms, it’s definitely possible to have easy periods and enjoy them. Changing your diet and lifestyle are easy ways to boost your over all health and wellbeing but also a great way to help your hormones without using supplements or medication. For some cases it is necessary to use supplements or even medication to help your hormones and it’s best to speak with a qualified health professional about what might suit you.
A diet full of unprocessed foods is the easiest way to make a great change to your health, this means trying to source food in it’s whole form when you can and avoid anything packaged. It’s also good to remember it’s not always going to be possible to eat a 100% clean diet and it’s okay to treat yourself every now and again but remember your goal is to eat as well as you can majority of the time. Diets that are rich in dark leafy greens, whole grains, seasonal fruit, good fats and lean protein sources will be the best for helping balance your hormones. It’s a good idea to avoid alcohol, excess caffeine, processed sugar, excess salt and packaged foods. If you can I’d also suggest to eat organic foods when it’s possible or focus on the ‘dirty dozen’ produce for choosing to be organic, this will greatly decrease how many chemicals you’re exposed to.
Happy hormones isn’t just about what you’re eating it’s also about what you’re using in your home and putting on your body as we absorb things through our skin and lungs too. Making the switch to low tox cleaning products and beauty products is a game changer for your health. This includes deodorant, make up, skin care, body care, washing detergent, laundry powder, floor cleaners, disinfectant spray and more. There’s so many brands around now to help you substitute these products for natural products which are great quality you just need to find one you like. Switching to natural cleaning and beauty products means you’re reducing the load on your body for excess chemicals which means less of a load on your liver which in turn can help your body balance it’s hormones.
