Food for hormonal balance

What you eat has a huge impact on your hormones. Certain foods can help you manage hormonal fluctuations and improve your overall well-being. Here are a few examples of foods that can naturally balance your hormones.

Fatty fish

Fish like salmon, mackerel, and sardines are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which help reduce inflammation and balance hormones. Omega-3s also support brain function and help regulate mood.

Avocado

Avocados are full of healthy fats that are needed for the production of hormones like estrogen and progesterone. They also contain fiber, which helps maintain stable blood sugar levels, which is important for hormonal balance.

Dark green leafy vegetables

Spinach, kale and other dark greens are rich in magnesium, which helps reduce stress and regulate hormones. They also support the liver, which is responsible for breaking down and removing excess hormones.

Chia seeds and linseed

These seeds are a fantastic source of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. Flaxseed contains phytoestrogens, which can help balance estrogen levels, especially during (pre-)menopause.

Eggs

Eggs are a great source of protein and healthy fats that help with hormone production. They also provide important nutrients like vitamin D, which helps support your hormone balance.

Nuts and seeds

Almonds, walnuts, and seeds like pumpkin and sunflower seeds are packed with healthy fats and magnesium, both of which are crucial for hormonal balance. They’re also a great source of protein and fiber.

Berries and citrus fruits

Berries, oranges and grapefruits are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which help reduce inflammation and support your immune system. They also promote collagen production, which is good for your skin and helps regulate cortisol, the stress hormone.

Cruciferous vegetables

Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, and cauliflower contain compounds that help break down excess estrogen in the body, which may be especially helpful for women with estrogen dominance.
