Is there a way out?

Avoiding xeno-oestrogens in the twenty-first century is close to impossible. There are however, several nutritional and lifestyle factors we can use to reduce their effect and, in many cases, relieve the symptoms. Fortunately, nature offers us phyto-oestrogens (of plant origin) which latch on to the very same receptor sites and block xeno-oestrogens from having such a strong, detrimental effect.

Eat Phytoestrogens: these are found in many fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds and nuts. A generous serving of one of the following foods per day is helpful: Soya, especially fermented products like tofu, tempeh, and miso, rye bread, celery, alfalfa, fennel, licorice, bean sprouts, sunflower seeds, chickpeas, lentils, citrus fruits or rhubarb. Have a different food every day for variety!

Increase your intake of fibre including whole grains, pulses, vegetables and fruits. Oats are known to help absorb fats. Oestrogen, once it has been used by the cells, is processed by the liver and bound to fibre for excretion through the intestines. If there is no fibre, it is recirculated in the body. >>>
