Estrogen is a vital hormone that plays a crucial role in skin health, body shape, cardiovascular health, bones, joints, mood, and fertility. Estrogen deficiency can lead to problems such as dry skin, wrinkles, dark spots, irregular menstruation, fatigue, insomnia, irritability, and an increased risk of osteoporosis.
To naturally boost estrogen levels, include these five powerful foods in your diet:
1. Beans, especially soybeans
Soybeans are rich in isoflavones, a type of phytoestrogen (plant estrogen) that mimics estrogen in the body. Regular consumption of soy products can help:
✔Balance hormones
✔Improve skin health
✔Maintain a slim figure
✔Reduce the risk of osteoporosis
In addition, soybeans can slow menopause, relieve insomnia, hot flashes, and vaginal dryness, and support cardiovascular health.
2. Flaxseeds
Flaxseeds contain lignans, another type of phytoestrogen that helps regulate estrogen levels. They offer numerous benefits, including:
✔Reduce dry skin
✔Improve skin elasticity
✔Balance hormones
✔Reduce the risk of breast cancer
They are also rich in fiber, which aids digestion, prevents constipation, stabilizes blood sugar levels, and aids weight loss.
