This hormone balancing juice contains common fruits and veggies that pack a lot of antioxidants that fight off oxygen-stealing free radicals that wreak havoc in the body.

Let’s take a look at some of the ingredients and their benefits for our hormones:

Ingredients Uses & their Benefits

💓 Beetroot

Beetroot is one of the crucial foods for hormone balance! It does this by supporting the liver’s ability to detoxify.

The liver helps in breaking down excess hormones in the body, including estrogen.

Excess estrogen which builds up in the body results in estrogen dominant conditions such as fibroids, ovarian cysts, ovarian cancer and endometriosis among others.

Beets also contain various nutrients good for health including copper, folate, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorous, potassium, tryptophan and vitamin C.

💓 Kale

Kale is a dark leafy green that is also a superfood for balancing hormones in women!

What makes it amazing is that it contains a compound known as indole-3 carbinol, which is a major nutrient for regulating hormones such as estrogen.

It promotes healthy estrogen metabolism in the level which helps the body eliminate excess estrogen.

What’s more is that kale also contains calcium and Vitamin K which also have hormone balancing properties which help ease PMS symptoms.

Not only estrogen, consuming kale also helps lower cortisol levels in the body.

💓 Apple

Apples are mega rich in fiber and guess what? Dietary fiber actually helps in lowering excess hormone levels in the body.

Research shows that increasing dietary fiber from fruit and cereal plays a role in lowering estrogen levels and descreasing the risk of hormone-related disease such as breast cancer.

💓 Orange

Citrus fruits like oranges contain powerful flavonoids such as hesperidin, quercetin and Vitamin C (the one we all know) that help in regulating levels of estrogen in the body.

They also contain a lot of dietary fiber, which as we saw above, is also beneficial for removing toxins and excess hormones from the body.

💓 Carrot

Carrots are one of the best foods for hormone balance! It is said that if you are suffering from hormonal issues, try to crunch on a raw carrot a day.

These bright orange vegetables are unique for hormonal health because they contain many indigestible fiber. This kind of fiber helps eliminate excess estrogen through the bowels.

When you have constipation, the excess estrogen meant to be eliminated is reabsorbed by the bile, causing hormonal imbalance disorders.

💓 Spinach

Just like kale, spinach is a dark leafy green that supports hormonal health. Spinach is rich in iron and iron-rich foods help in boosting thyroid health.

Iron aids in the production of thyroid hormones, which helps correct any hormonal imbalances.
