whenever possible. Many of the herbicides, pesticides, and antibiotics used in commercial farming contain toxic elements. Though it is not conclusive, some research suggests that when ingested, these toxins act similarly to estrogen and can throw off your body's hormone balance. To avoid this, purchase food items bearing a green "USDA Organic" seal whenever you can. Many cruciferous vegetables contain a large amount of indole-3-carbinol. Once inside the body, indole-3-carbinol will fight for the same space on your cells as a type of estrogen called estradiol, preventing further growth. Over time, indole-3-carbinol can help your body expel estrogen, leaving more room for testosterone growth. Common cruciferous vegetables include: Broccoli Brussels sprouts Cabbage Cauliflower Kale While many foods contain elements that mimic estrogen, some have enzymes like ellagitannin, naringenin, and apigenin that block the production or spread of the sex hormone. Depending on the specific food, this is done by actively preventing estrogen from binding to cell receptors or by mimicking aromatase inhibitors. Some foods that contain anti-estrogens are: Citrus fruits Dark berries Olive oil Oysters Pomegranates White mushrooms. and alcohol you consume. Coffee, soda, and similar caffeinated beverages can massively increase the production of estrogen in your body. Coffee in particular can cause your body to become more acidic, making it harder to balance your hormones. Beer, bourbon, and many other forms of alcohol contain phytoestrogen that, when consumed, can lead to a general increase of estrogen in your body. Soy beans and their associated by-products, including soy milk and tofu, contain high amounts of phytoestrogen. Just like with alcohol, this substance can increase the amount of estrogen present in your body.
Purchase organic foods Eat more cruciferous vegetables. Consume foods that contain anti-estrogen enzymes. Reduce the amount of caffeine Cut out soy products.
