A balanced secretion of estrogen is crucial for women's beauty and health, helping to maintain skin moisture, a slim figure, alleviate menstrual cramps, and regulate irregular periods.
Pumpkin. Pumpkin is rich in vitamin E, which acts on the pituitary gland and ovaries to regulate estrogen secretion. Additionally, vitamin E effectively removes active oxygen from the body, benefiting skin health and preventing lifestyle-related diseases such as high blood pressure.
Eggs. The cholesterol in eggs is a raw material for the body to produce estrogen, and it is recommended for women to eat one egg daily. Eggs are also incredibly nutritious and are known as a "complete food."
Soy products. Soy products like tofu and soy milk are rich in isoflavones, which have a similar effect to estrogen. Soy products are also high in vitamin B6, which helps regulate estrogen metabolism and balance. It is recommended for women to drink a glass of soy milk for breakfast or have a dish containing tofu for lunch.
Cabbage. Cabbage is currently in season and contains boron, a mineral that promotes estrogen secretion. Cabbage is also rich in dietary fiber, which aids digestion, promotes detoxification, and is beneficial for skin health.
Nuts. Nuts are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can alleviate anxiety and relieve physical and mental stress. The pituitary gland, which controls hormone secretion, is very sensitive to stress. Therefore, consuming nuts in moderation can also help balance estrogen secretion.
