Unbalanced Hormones? Try A Smoothie

hormones

A good smoothie can do a lot for your body. It can provide your body with an immense amount of nutrients and vitamins all at once. It can help curve your appetite without unhealthy additives all while filling you up. It can also be a way to explore different flavors together to see what works and what does not. A good smoothie can definitely make you burst out in a little happy dance or pump you up to prepare for the day (or rest of the day) ahead of you. Regardless of the reason you are indulging in a good smoothie, always remember that it has some of the best benefits that your body can ask for, especially when it comes to your hormones. If you are someone who experiences unbalanced hormones, maybe a smoothie a day will change that.

How Food Can Throw Off Your Hormones And pH Balance

As good and flavorful as food may be, not all meals or food items are good for you. Some may be too fattening and some may be too sweet. Some may be too salty and some use way too much processed meat.

All of these can throw your body all the way off. They can make you gain weight, and cause future health risks and complications such as heart failure, type 2 diabetes, gout, and more. Certain types of foods can also throw off your hormones and pH balance when eating them or not consuming them correctly.

This is due to the makeup of food. Some foods are highly acidic, which can throw off your pH balance. Some foods are processed and have added hormones, preservatives, sugars and sodium in them. This can not only increase the amount of hormone growth in your body, but it can also increase inflammation and put stress on your adrenal glands. Therefore putting you at risk for severe hormone imbalances, which can lead to excessive weight gain.

Can A Smoothie A Day Make The Fibroids Go Away?

Actually yes, it can. A smoothie a day can lessen your chance of developing fibroids or slow their growth. Healthy and nutritious fruits and vegetables are a great way to minimize the fibroid itself or the chance of getting fibroids.

When you have the opportunity to make and consume a smoothie, you are giving your body an array of different nutrients and vitamins it needs at once to combat illnesses.

Foods with antioxidant properties or high in iron have the ability to reduce fibroid pain and normalize hormone imbalances. Putting them all together in a smoothie just increases your chances of reaching physical and mental peace faster.
