Do you ever have those days where you're just inexplicably grumpy? Or maybe things that really aren't that big of a deal make your eyes well up with tears? For many women, mood swings are a regular part of life, just one of the unpleasant side effects of imbalanced hormones, which can also increase as you age.
Consistent physical activity can help manage hormone imbalance, but the foods you eat also play a role. Many foods contain phytoestrogens, natural hormone-like compounds found in plants. Foods that contain phytoestrogens include soy beans, almonds, strawberries, and flax seeds. Add more phytoestrogenic foods to your diet to see if you can manage your mood swings naturally.
In addition to being the great at leveling hormones, phytoestrogens provide a host of other benefits such as immune system support.
