A Great Breakfast Every Woman Needs for Hormone Health
‘I skip breakfast. I really just need a coffee to start my day.’
I hear that A LOT!
That energy spike has to come down though.....
So time to stop skipping breakfast & eat what your body craves-good food that nature created.
Something yummy is chia seeds.
I pop 4 tablespoons into a small pot and cover with almond milk on medium heat for about 5 minutes. It will go nice & creamy.
Chia seeds are great for fiber (remember you are aiming to poop every day), packed with omega 3’s & calcium.
Calcium isn’t just great for your bones! It’s great to fight off those PMS grouchy Mum symptoms you have 😉
I love you can add your toppings according to your bodies needs too!
In the luteal phase of your cycle (between ovulation & menstruation), sunflower seeds which you see in my bowl, are great as they contain selenium which helps your liver out with estrogen detoxification. Excess estrogen will cause a lot of those symptoms you have been suffering through!
Bananas because they contain serotonin the happy hormone. They actually contain lots of vitamin B6 which assists the body in making & using serotonin.
Coconut is a healthy fat which are the building blocks of hormones. If you grab flakes like these, just make sure they are sulphur free!
Walnuts are rich in omega 3’s with anti-inflammatory effects. They don’t look like a brain for no reason!
A big part of balancing hormones is your omega 3 to 6 ratio. 6’s are inflammatory & 3’s anti inflammatory. You’ll find omega 6’s in things like processed foods & unhealthy vegetable oils.
So hydrate with some great choices in the morning & also pop something in your tummy so you can keep your blood sugar levels stable to stop the crashes & cravings!
