5 Tips and Tools for Hormonal Imbalance

1: Foods for Hormonal Balance

It's true what they say: you are what you eat! But don't worry, we're not going on a strict diet. But add more proteins and healthy fats to your daily meals! These are the building blocks of our body and therefore also your hormones.

Treat yourself to a handful of raw nuts, some fruit, and yes, a square of dark chocolate for some endorphin boosts! You'll see your mood improve in leaps and bounds.

If you suffer from food cravings during or just before your period, don't buy Tony, but choose 85% dark chocolate. That way you won't be tempted.

2: Love and warmth

Another thing we are seeing more and more is a cold womb and believe me we don’t want that! Stay warm with cosy hot water bottles and relaxing baths to keep your womb happy and warm, even when it’s freezing outside.

Also consider the way you dress!

Crop tops are very cute, but not friendly to our uterus. When it is warm, it means safety for our body. And safety is good for reproduction. So also our hormones!

3: Relaxation

Apart from warmth, relaxation is also important for hormonal balance. Always rushing, racing, being busy busy busy is very stressful. Stress and survival is not a good combination for reproduction. Doing this exercise every day is a good start to relax more (also very nice for stomach aches and cramps!).

Daily breathing exercise:

Sit or lie down comfortably in a quiet place.
Close your eyes and concentrate on your breathing.
Breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose, filling your lungs with air.
Hold your breath for a moment.
Exhale slowly through your mouth, releasing all tension.
Repeat this a few times and feel yourself slowly relaxing.

4: Menstruation and strength training

When it comes to exercise, listen to your body, save heavy workouts for after your period! You will notice that you have much more strength and energy.

What can you do? Stretching, dancing, yoga (yin yoga is good for pain and cramps) or walking in nature. So when it comes to exercise, listen to your body we save heavy workouts for after your period!

5: Hormonal Imbalance, Supplements and Herbs

The last tip is about supplements and herbs, because in some cases the above tips are not enough. Then it can be very nice to give your body a boost with a supplement full of herbs.

Remember: maca, shatavari, vitex agnus, salvia extract, dong quai and saffron. These may be difficult names, but they are scientifically proven.

These herbs are in our new product, #13 Hormone Balance from Goldea Health , which is specifically designed to support female hormones.
