I know that most of us must be getting frustrated with our weight loss programs, as most don't work or even of they do, once you stop it, you gain back more than what you lost !
Even if you’re exercising and eating a well-balanced diet, unbalanced
hormones can sabotage your goal to lose weight. No penny for your
thoughts, here…but yes, you’ve definitely being going on the wrong road.
It is a chemical substance secreted by our living cells, which upon its release from blood to target site elicit a response and thus regulate various functions of the body. The kind of actions, it performs can be classified as autocrine, paracrine and endocrine.
How weight loss works?
You body’s
hormones help control everything from your metabolism to your body’s fat
storage. Hormone-disrupting chemicals may be hiding in most products that we use- household
cleaners, laundry detergent, shampoo, and even your air fresheners.
Is it possible to lose weight by keeping our hormones in balance?
To keep your hormones balanced, stay healthy, and help your body lose
fat, add these 9 hormone-balancing foods to your diet! So, now the
question is... how will it work in 30 days? If you religiously involve
these foods in your diet, then things can work your way!
1) Nuts
Nuts also contain
beta-sitosterol, which is great for weight management. Almonds contain
protein, fiber, and are known to slow the absorption of carbohydrates in
the body. Studies have found that walnuts are also a good source of the
hormone melatonin, which helps promote a more restful sleep.
2) Cinnamon
Cinnamon has the
ability to speed up the metabolism and stabilize blood sugar levels,
which can help with weight loss. It also has anti-inflammatory and
anti-bacterial properties that help keep your body healthy. In fact,
it’s the cinnamaldehyde in cinnamon that naturally helps balance the
body’s hormones. Add some cinnamon to your oatmeal or sprinkle some on
an apple and enjoy a healthy snack!
3) Green Tea
Studies have
shown that green tea extract increases metabolism and helps the body
burn fat. It provides a boost of energy while blocking the release of
the stress hormone cortisol, which helps fight the accumulation of belly
fat!
4)Turmeric
Adding turmeric
to your meals will do more than just spice things up. Turmeric naturally
reduces inflammation, pain, and swelling in the body. It also helps to
balance your hormones and keep your immune system in tip-top shape!
5) Broccoli
You might love it
or hate it, but broccoli contains high amounts of phytochemicals called
indoles, which play a large role in estrogen metabolism. Indoles work
to convert estrogen into a safer form for the body to metabolize, which
reduces the risk of estrogen-linked cancer, including breast cancer and
prostate cancer.
6) Pomegranates
Pomegranates have
amazing anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties that
help keep the body healthy and fight off disease. They also provide the
same estrogens that the female ovaries produce – estradiol, estrone,
and estriol. Adding pomegranates to your diet can help reduce mood
swings while helping your body combat breast cancer and heart disease.
7) Goji Berries
Berries are rich
in antioxidants that work to keep the body healthy. Goji berries are
naturally high in iron, and they produce anti-inflammatory and
anti-bacterial effects. They also contain an antioxidant known as
selenium, which aids in the health of your liver and immune system, as
well as your thyroid, an important tool in weight loss.
8) Avocados
Avocados contain a
substance known as beta-sitosterol, which works wonders for weight
loss. Beta-sitosterol has been shown to significantly lower blood
cholesterol levels, balance cortisol levels, and decrease inflammation
in the body.
9) Apples
Apples contain a
flavonoid known as quercetin, which works as a natural antioxidant and
antihistamine in the body. Researchers have found that quercetin
increases endurance and boosts aerobic capacity, making apples a great
addition to a weight-management diet.
PS - I can vouch that drinking cinnamon simmered in water for 5 minutes, adding turmeric and ginger to it, has helped me to lose weight.
