Estrogen Foods:
Naturally Boost Your Low Estrogen Level

Eating estrogen foods is a good way to naturally increase your low levels of estrogen.

Along with eating these foods, you may want to consider taking herbal supplements and avoiding estrogen blocking foods.

Before you make any big changes in your diet, you should see your doctor to determine your estrogen level, as it is unhealthy to have too much estrogen in your body.

Foods to Boost Your Estrogen Level

• Fruits: apples, cherries, dates, papaya, plumbs, pomegranates, tomatoes

• Vegetables: alfalfa, beets, carrots, chickpeas, cucumbers, eggplant, garlic, olives, parsley, peas, peppers, potatoes, pumpkin, rhubarb, soybeans, yams

• Grains: barley, hops, oats, rice, wheat

• Other: anise seeds, flax seeds, sesame seeds, soy, sunflower seeds, eggs, and all types of meat and dairy foods

Herbs to Boost Your Estrogen Level

These herbs contain phytoestrogen which is a plant based estrogen.

Phytoestrogen gives your body estrogen-like effects which can help to relieve your menopause symptoms and regulate your hormones.

Since they don't contain "real estrogen," they are not increasing your risk for cancer.

• Black cohosh: Black cohosh is a perennial plant found in North America. Native American Indian women have used its roots for years.

• Dong quai: This root has been used for centuries to treat Chinese women in menopause.

• Licorice Root: The root of this perennial plant is a source of estrogen.

Finding the best way to balance your hormones can take a little time. Since we are all different, our bodies respond to supplements and medications differently.

But, when you find the right balance for your system, you can almost feel the spring in your step return!
