What can I do to keep my hormones balanced?
February 11th, 2009Stress is probably the number one priority. Our bodies were designed to handle stress – and then take a nap!! We tend to push ourselves every day, month after month, year after year. Eventually it takes a toll and we pay for it with our health. Learn how to manage your stress levels. A great website is www.heartmath.com. It will teach you how to manage your stress levels, and to relax.
Learn to take some time for yourself by locking yourself in the bathroom to take a bath, find a corner and a good book, go for a walk, have a weekly Girl’s Night, etc. Before you go to bed each night, de-stress with breathing exercises, meditation or yoga. Know what you can change and what you can’t!! Worry is wasted energy and will exhaust your adrenals. 95% of what you worry about you have no control over so “Let Go and Let God”.
Eat enough protein. Start your day with 30-40 grams of protein in a shake. Eat protein with every meal, and if you have a blood sugar issue, also eat a protein snack between meals. Good fats are also important and keep blood sugar level.
Exercise. Need I say more? It is also a great stress reducer!!
Test your hormone balance and mineral levels regularly to be sure your body stays in balance. A balanced body is a healthy body. You will feel great, look great and live a longer, healthier life!!
