Some of the nutrients your body needs for healthy hormone function may already be sitting in your kitchen, and many of them are affordable!
Ladies, these 6 nutrients are worth paying attention to when it comes to your hormonal and reproductive health. 💚
✨ ZINC: Found in pumpkin seeds. It supports normal reproductive function and hormone production.
✨ MAGNESIUM: Found in pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and other foods. It supports muscle and nerve function and helps your body regulate blood sugar.
✨ OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS: Found in flaxseeds and chia seeds. They support heart health and your body’s normal inflammatory response.
✨ VITAMIN E: Sunflower seeds are a good source. This vitamin helps protect your cells from damage.
✨ FIBRE: Chia seeds and flaxseeds provide fibre that supports digestion, healthy bowel movements and blood sugar control.
✨ LIGNANS: Flaxseeds are particularly rich in these plant compounds, which can interact with estrogen metabolism.
🌱 HERE ARE 6 SEEDS YOU CAN START ADDING TO YOUR MEALS:
🥄 Flaxseeds
🥄 Chia seeds
🥄 Pumpkin seeds
🥄 Sunflower seeds
🥄 Sesame seeds
🥄 Hemp seeds
You can sprinkle them over oatmeal, blend them into smoothies, add them to salads or mix them into your meals.
Start with small amounts and increase gradually, especially if you are not used to eating much fibre. Drink enough water, too!
❤️ BUT SISTERS, PLEASE UNDERSTAND THIS!
No single seed can cure PCOS, shrink fibroids, balance every hormone or guarantee pregnancy. Your body needs a combination of good nutrition, adequate sleep, movement and appropriate medical care.
