Natural-Balance
When our hormones are at optimal levels, our bodies are healthy, efficient, resilient, flexible, and strong. With increasing age, almost all hormones levels drop in men and well as women. Your endocrine glands cannot maintain the same production of hormones as they did when you were younger. Nature likes balance, typically too much estrogen and not enough progesterone,can make your life a misery. How Your Biochemistry Can Work For You Hormones are biochemical substances that are produced by your glands. Even your ovaries are a gland because they also produce hormones. All our Hormones work together and if one is out of balance this in turn affects the functioning of all others. Environmental concerns that may contribute to Hormonal Imbalance.
Commercially Grown Animal Products that contain added hormones or pesticide residues (this includes most meat and dairy products sold in grocery stores). Commercially Grown Vegetables which contain pesticide residues. Synthetic Estrogens & Synthetic Progesterones (Progestins, Progesterone Acetate, Medroxy Progesterone Acetate and birth control pills). Petrochemical Compounds found in almost all creams, lotions, soaps, shampoos, mineral oil, perfume, hair spray, room deodorizers, new carpet, cooking with plastic. Stress.
Xeno -Oestrogens (Xeno means strange or foreign) mimic estrogen and are causing imbalance between our own estrogen and progesterone levels because of their oestrogenic effect in nature. Toxins from an ever more polluted environment accumulate in these glands and damage them.
Repeated exposure to microbes, bacteria, viruses, parasites and fungi destroy hormone-producing tissue and reduce their function.
If your cells are toxic, dehydrated, and poorly nourished, they will not function properly,or enable your body to resist cancer, infections, heart disease, allergies etc.
Distinguishing safe and natural hormones from those that are foreign and carcinogenic will allow women to make informed choices. While it is impossible to eliminate all Xeno-Oestrogens from our environment, it is possible to limit the amount we are exposed to by using the following guidelines :
- Use glass or ceramics whenever possible to store food and water
- Heat food up in the microwave in glass or ceramic covered dish
- Use a simple detergent with less chemicals. This includes laundry detergents and household cleaners
- Use organic soaps, shampoo and personal care products.
- Use condoms without spermicides instead of birth control.
- Avoid parabens used in skin lotions.
- Use natural pest control not pesticides
- Don't use herbicides instead use a cup of salt in 4ltr of vinegar
- Buy hormone free/organic meats
- Buy organic produce, vegetables and fruits grown without pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizes or hormones
- Use anti-oxidant supplementation of Vitamin A,C,E to combat Xeno-Oestrogen effects
- Use supplements to down regulate Oestrogens.
- Exercise.
- Smile, Relax and Enjoy Life!!
