9. EAT MORE EGGS.
To optimize your hormone health, it is recommended to consume at least 20-30 grams of protein per meal. And among all high-protein foods, eggs are considered to be the most nutritious ones. Eating them on a daily basis may help you lower your levels of insulin and ghrelin, the hormone that makes you feel hungry. Eggs will also help you boost your metabolism and lose weight more quickly.
8. PRACTICE DIAPHRAGMATIC BREATHING.
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, your emotions and hormones are closely connected to each other in the following way:
- Fear affects your cortisol levels and can cause problems with your reproductive organs, kidneys, and adrenal glands.
- Frustration, impatience, and unforgiveness are linked to an estrogen imbalance and can cause disease in your liver.
- Worry and anxiety are related to your insulin levels and can lead to diabetes.
If you are feeling stressed, angry, or overwhelmed, try to practice deep belly breathing for at least 15-20 minutes, twice a day. This will help you decrease stress hormones and improve your overall sense of well-being.
