It is impossible
to expect to be healthy and vital if we are not eating the nutrients
we need to keep our bodies performing at its best. The increase
in lifestyle diseases that we are presently seeing is in great
part due to poor diets and junk food.
It is very important to try to increase the amount of whole foods
that we eat and decrease the amount of processed foods that we
eat. Processed foods have almost no nutrients left in them ...
they are considered "empty calories". But even worse
than that, the preservatives, additives and chemicals that are
in these processed foods interfere with many bodily functions
including hormones.

There
are many things in our modern society that contribute to
this imbalance including birth control pills, caffeine,
alcohol and xenoestrogens (which are caused by external
toxins and pollutants like detergents, pesticides, plastics
etc.), as well as impaired liver function and even stress!
The
hormonal imbalances caused by Estrogen Dominance have many
negative effects on the body and can make you feel a lot
older by triggering many symptoms like poor memory, "foggy
brain", weight gain and difficulty losing weight, increased
facial hair, decreased sex drive, vaginal dryness, darkened
skin pigmentation, water retention and much, much more.

Estrogen Dominance
also increases the risk of many lifestyle diseases like cancer,
fibrocystic breasts, breast cancer, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
and much more.Estrogen Dominance is much more common than people
think, thanks to the world we live in. And it is happening to
women at younger and younger ages, even to women in their twenties
or thirties!
So how do
you combat estrogen dominance? One of the most important changes
you can make is losing weight if you are overweight, since this
triggers a vicious cycle of hormonal imbalances and weight gain,
especially in the abdominal area.But of course, how you lose weight
is just as important, if not more, than just losing weight. If
you lose weight following unhealthy weight loss diets, you could
be unbalancing your hormones even more. The better method is to
lose weight in a slow, steady fashion by eating healthy, nutritious
food and NOT starving yourself. If instead of following an unhealthy
diet, you follow a healthy eating program you will not only lose
weight, but will have many health benefits as well.
A healthy
eating program decreases the chances of having loose, sagging
skin, because you lose weight in a slow, steady way, which gives
your body a chance to firm up your skin. There are also many foods
you can eat that promote healthy, firm skin tone. (The "Diet
Free ... At Last!" Weight Loss Program teaches which foods
promote anti-aging and also which foods you can eat to help to
improve skin tone and prevent loose, sagging skin.)
