Natural-Balance
Nature likes balance, typically too much estrogen and not enough progesterone,can make your life a misery.
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
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. Thyroid keeps all body systems active. Parathyroid Hormone maintains the blood calcium level. Adrenaline primes the body for action. Cortisone helps maintain blood sugar levels,and is involved with stress. Estrogen and Progesterone control menstruation and maintain pregnancy
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 :
