The female body cannot lack estrogen, the most important hormone that affects health and beauty. It has many effects on the skin, body shape, cardiovascular health, bones and joints, mood and fertility.
Women who lack estrogen will encounter problems such as dry skin, wrinkles, dark spots, menstrual disorders, fatigue, insomnia, irritability, increased risk of osteoporosis…
To supplement estrogen for the body, women can choose the following natural foods.
Beans, especially soybeans
Beans, especially soybeans, have a high isoflavone content. This is a form of phytoestrogen – plant estrogen. It has a similar structure to endogenous estrogen in the human body.
Supplementing foods from soybeans has the effect of regulating hormones, improving the skin, contributing to maintaining a slim figure, reducing the risk of osteoporosis. In addition, it also helps slow down the menopause process, reducing insomnia, hot flashes, and dryness in women. Using soybeans and soy foods is also very good for cardiovascular health.
However, it should be noted that soybeans should not be overused, especially in people with a history of breast cancer. Soybeans can affect the hormone testosterone, causing the disease to develop.
Flaxseeds contain lignans, a form of phytoestrogen that helps the body synthesize and regulate estrogen. Using this food regularly will help reduce dryness, balance hormones, increase skin elasticity, and reduce the risk of breast cancer. In addition, flaxseeds provide a rich amount of fiber that is good for the digestive system, helps prevent constipation, stabilizes blood sugar, and supports weight loss.
For better absorption by the body, you should grind flaxseeds before eating. You can combine this type of seed with yogurt, smoothies, baking or porridge. Note, you should not use more than 2 tablespoons of flaxseeds/day because it can affect the thyroid.
