Changes to your diet can also help keep your estrogen levels low.
A diet low in fat and high in fiber is commonly recommended for estrogen level control. Some foods that might be involved in this kind of diet include:
cruciferous vegetables (including broccoli and kale) contain phytochemicals that block estrogen production
shiitake and portobello mushrooms naturally reduce aromatase
red grapes contain natural estrogen blockers resveratrol and proanthocyanidin
sesame seeds and flaxseed, as well as whole grains like oats, corn, and rice contain a micronutrient called polyphenol
green tea is another good source of polyphenol
pomegranates are high in estrogen-blocking phytochemicals
Some meat products contain estrogen as a result from treatment with synthetic hormones and should be avoided. Some other products to avoid that can increase your estrogen levels include:
wraps or containers made of plastic that can be absorbed by your food
hygiene products that have parabens containing estrogens, such as shampoos
Staying in shape can also keep your estrogen levels low:
get a physical to check your overall health
make a plan and start slow
work out for about 15 to 30 minutes per day, and increase the time as you feel comfortable
switch it up: do cardio one day, strength the next, and yoga and get into the habit of doing regularly
