how to eat apple

1. Apple: This once-a-day-as-the-doctor ordered fights against estrogen. Some people may have too much estrogen in their diets, especially if you are eating a tofu-rich one. The fiber in the apple helps remove some estrogen and keeps your hormones in check.

2. Olive oil: we Middle Easterners know that olive oil is a wonder drug in and unto itself. Drink it, pour it on salads, throw it on your body. The monounsaturated fatty acids in olive oil are great for your hormone balance and state of mind.

Brown rice: is a food full of vitamin B, great for female hormone balance. Brown rice is better for the metabolism, so we recommend it, but only if it’s organic.

5. Fish: again, consume in moderation due to risks from heavy metals (read this and sushi), but super fatty fish like sardines, herring, salmon and mackerel, are full of Omega 3 fatty acids which is an acid particularly good for balancing out the highs and lows of menopause.

7. Unsweetened yogurt: we are talking about plain unsweetened yogurt. No flavors and no sugar, artificial or natural. Full of probiotics, unsweetened yogurt boosts the metabolism of estrogen, it can slim you down and build you a healthy immune system. If you are feeling a bit wild and crazy, consider adding all of the above into your yoghurt.
