EPO for hormonal imbalance
from: AnonymousQuestion : I JUST got married a year ago and am planning to
conceive but my periods are irregular. I consulted a specialist
recently and she told me I have hormonal imbalance. How can I
rectify this?
Answer : REFINED sugars, chemicals, pesticides, dyes, heavy
metal toxicity and stress all play a part in female hormone
imbalances. This is true whether it is disturbing menopausal
symptoms, PMS or dysmenorrhea (irregular menses). For example,
in times of stress the body will release excessive amounts of
stress hormones such as epinephrine, norepinephrine and
cortisol. This excess of cortisol interferes with the production
of vital hormones, such as progesterone and estrogen.
This can result in menstrual cycle irregularity, missed periods,
worsening pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS) and more severe
menopausal changes, including hot flushes and night sweats.
You may try supplementing your diet with evening primrose oil.
It contains omega-6 essential fatty acids that can help regulate
the hormones, thus alleviating PMS, irregular periods or
symptoms of menopause. Scientific studies show that regular
intake of omega-6 EFA which delivers 12-14 pre cent of gamma
linolenic acid can help ease problems relating to women's
menstrual cycle.
You should include more fruits and vegetables in your diet. Try
to avoid saturated fats and refined carbohydrates. Since stress
is one of the factors that trigger hormone imbalance, you should
manage your stress wisely by using relaxation techniques such as
yoga and meditation.
