Inflammation can be thought of as the body saying, βSomething's not right here, let's focus on fixing it.β
So I decided to stop saying...this is how it will ALWAYS be for me and I started researching more.
I found ou that Chronic pain and inflammation can also be signs of imbalances in hormones too....
So here's what's been helping me.......
Here are π±TENπ± ways to help decrease inflammation and balance your hormones....
1. Get enough protein. Proteins provide amino acids that your body cannot make on its own and are needed to produce peptide hormones. These hormones play a crucial role in regulating several physiological processes, including growth, energy metabolism, appetite, stress, and more.
(I have increased my protein to around 100 grams a day now).
2. Exercise regularly. Getting enough physical activity strongly influences your hormonal health. It enhances hormone receptor sensitivity, helping the delivery of nutrients and hormone signals.
3. Maintain a moderate weight. Weight gain is directly associated with hormonal imbalances. Obesity relates to a lack of ovulation in women. Eating within your calorie range can help maintain hormonal balance.
4. Watch your gut health. Your gut produces numerous metabolites that can affect hormone health.
(Supplements with a 95% absorption rate have been a game changer for me).
5.Lower sugar intake. Minimizing added sugar intake can help balance hormones. Eating added sugar promotes insulin resistance, and fructose intake is linked to disruptions in the gut microbiome, ultimately leading to hormonal imbalances.
6. Reduce stress. Stress can significantly harm the bodyβs hormones in many ways. Work to decrease and manage your daily stress.
7. Get enough sleep. Sleep is one of the most important factors in hormonal imbalance. The levels of hormones can rise and fall throughout the day due to the quality of sleep. (I also take an incredible magnesium supplement that has also helped my "crawling" legs and I sleep SO SOUNDLY NOW.)
8. Eat healthy fats. Healthy fat intake can work to maintain balanced hormones that are involved with appetite, metabolism, and feeling full.
9 Eat plenty of fiber. Fiber plays a role in gut health, helping regulate hormones like insulin.
(( I also added in more fiber in my coffee(like a healthy creamer without the toxins) and every morning I now have a breakfast bar. Who knew you should actually be π©π©π© 2-3x a day?!?!?!. I thought one time a day was enough. its NOT.))
