Hormones And Natural Ways To Regulate Them

For many women, and not only hormones, many problems. The imbalances that are best seen during menstrual cycles are major evidence of this.

Hormones are chemical compounds that are secreted by tissues or glands of the endocrine system and are designed to regulate the activities or modify the structural features of tissues.

In the event of problems with hormones, nature once again reaches out to us and offers five products that, by including them in the diet, help regulate their secretion, and also provide many important nutrients.

Natural remedies for hormones

1. Figs

You can eat figs raw, in fruit smoothies, with yoghurt or as an addition to desserts.

Eating fresh fruit is a great way to start your day healthy. One of the biggest advantages of figs is the high content of dietary fiber, which has a positive effect on the condition and functioning of the digestive system. It works especially for people suffering from constipation.

Obesity sufferers should not consume more than three fruit a day, preferably for breakfast.
