Take Steps to Control Oestrogen Levels

Oestrogen is the name given to an important group of compounds that affect the growth and function of tissues throughout the body, including the tissues responsible for reproduction. It plays a significant role in maintaining cardiovascular function, helps keep our bones healthy and has a strong influence over our mood and behaviour.⁽¹⁾ In other words, both men and women need oestrogen in appropriate levels to maintain optimum health.

Unfortunately, most of us live in a world that is detached from nature. Our environments are becomingly increasingly polluted, our lifestyles are becoming more sedentary and our food is much more toxic than ever before. All of these factors can greatly destabilize our oestrogen levels, causing us to suffer from fatigue, low libido, insomnia, depression, cravings, weight gain and many other symptoms associated with a hormone imbalance.⁽²⁾

For this reason, it's important that all of us make some effort to help stabilize our estrogen levels. This article provides three major steps that help us achieve this important, health-boosting goal.

Decrease our body fat and improve our diet

Decreasing our body fat is a great way to help stabilize our oestrogen levels, since fat tissue increases our levels of aromatase, the enzyme that turns testosterone to oestrogen.⁽³⁾ Additionally, a study published by the American Association for Cancer Research notes that high body fat increases the incidence of "cancers arising from tissues responsive to oestrogenic stimulation, including endometrium, breast, and prostate."⁽⁴⁾

The two greatest steps we can take towards maintaining low body fat is to eat a diet rich in organic whole foods and to exercise regularly (ideally both cardio and strength training). Foods high in beneficial fatty acids, such as avocados and raw coconut oil, are known to be especially effective at normalizing oestrogen levels, as are adaptogenic foods that stimulate the adaptive mechanisms of our body, such as maca and ashwagandha.⁽⁵⁾ Moreover, we will also benefit from the removal of oestrogenic foods, such as unfermented soy products, which contain substances that mimic oestrogen and can contribute to endocrine dysfunction.⁽⁶⁾

Supplement our diet with essential nutrients

Though an improved diet alone can significantly normalize our oestrogen levels, we can help accelerate the process by supplementing our diet with nutrients that are known to help metabolize oestrogen in the body. The best of these nutrients include magnesium and vitamin B6 (which play important roles in oestrogen clearance by the liver)⁽⁷⁾, omega-3 fish oils, melatonin, selenium and zinc. The powerful antioxidant vitamin E is also known to aid oestrogen elimination and can inhibit the growth of prostate and breast cancer cells.⁽⁸⁾

Minimize our exposure to oestrogen imitators

Minimizing our exposure to oestrogen imitators is another important step towards stabilizing our estrogen levels, but it is also the most difficult one, since oestrogen imitators are virtually everywhere. Perhaps the most notorious of these imitators is bisphenol A (BPA), a synthetic compound used to make certain plastics, but diethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP), dioxin, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) are some of the many other oestrogen imitators lurking in our environment.⁽⁹⁾

According to a 2011 study published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, simply eating a diet that contains minimal packaging (i.e., a fresh food diet) can substantially reduce our exposure to BPA and DEHP,⁽¹⁰⁾ though avoiding plastics in general, unless we can confirm that products are free from pollutants, is a more secure strategy. Furthermore, drinking water that has been purified by reverse osmosis or distillation will ensure that we're not inadvertently consuming these hormone-disrupting chemicals.

The American Cancer Society - What an Embarrassment

The American Cancer Society declares that 'diet is an unclear factor' in preventing cancer! They even go so far as to say that some vitamins may cause cancer. Now I have heard it all!

Come on! There is an abundance of scientific evidence that shows a healthy diet can prevent cancer and other diseases.

When the Cancer Society was first formed in 1913 the cancer rate was 1 in 75. 100 years later, it is now 1 in 3. This proves that they have failed miserably. This kind of misinformation shows that you cannot look to them for help or guidelines anymore. They do not have our best interests at heart. A mere money making machine and this is one of the reasons that I no longer support any “pink” drives.

This behavior is almost criminal as is their failure to endorse thermography.

All foods identified as cancer-fighting are also known to be low glycemic and to produce an alkaline state. Cancer cells proliferate when there are elevated glucose levels and even the slightest increase in acidic pH - which also helps to explain the effectiveness of these foods

Fluoride is a neurotoxin

The Lancet has said that fluoride is in the same category as arsenic, lead and mercury.  

The report also notes that neurodevelopmental disabilities, including ADHD, dyslexia, and other cognitive impairments, are now affecting millions of children worldwide in what they call a “pandemic of developmental neurotoxicity.”

Sodium fluoride (different to the naturally occurring calcium fluoride), which is added to water and widely used by dentists has also been linked to cancers.

Manganese, fluoride, chlorpyrifos, dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, tetrachloroethylene, and the polybrominated diphenyl ethers are all developmental neurotoxins.
