Balance Hormones With Better Womens Nutrition Carlsbad CA

By Joshua Robinson


Staying healthy does not have to mean living under a doctor's care. In fact, if a woman's diet is bad and her lifestyle unhealthy, there's not much a doctor can do. For that reason, finding out how to achieve really good womens nutrition Carlsbad CA (and elsewhere) can mean a better quality of life and a longer one, too.

Most parents know well that a girl reaching puberty can have severe emotional swings as her hormone levels fluctuate. Hormones affect our emotions, our energy level, how well we sleep, and how well our reproductive systems function. They also affect weight gain and metabolism. Hormones are produced by female organs but also by organs that both sexes have, like the adrenal glands.

Estrogen is the most plentiful female hormone. Researchers have identified several different types of estrogen. The kind of estrogen produced may depend on age, whether or not the woman is pregnant, and other factors. A healthy woman will go through puberty with ease, develop a womanly body, have painless periods, conceive and nurse children, and pass into and through menopause with barely a symptom. Her hair will be thick, her skin not overly dry, and she will have the energy she needs to get through the day.

Nutrition can help prevent painful periods, infertility, skin blemishes and dryness, thinning hair, and other symptoms that are really revealing a lack of - or an over-abundance of - one or more hormones. The problem can lie in the ovaries, which produce hormones as well as the eggs that make a new human, or with the adrenal glands which control all the endrocrine (hormone) system. Many women don't know that fatigue can be caused by hormonal imbalances, as well as other things like chin hairs, dry eyes, and insomnia.

A woman can do her own research and choose foods and supplements that can help her find balance. If that seems too difficult, there are naturopaths, herbalists, and even medical doctors who try diet and supplementation with natural things before resorting to pharmaceuticals. A doctor can do lab tests, like blood scans, that can reveal where problems may lie. A dietitian might recommend dietary changes to achieve certain health goals.

You can also find holistic clinics in the Carlsbad area directed by medical doctors which have nutritional experts, herbalists, and perhaps a homeopath on staff. A clinic may also offer massage therapy, acupuncture, and other non-invasive methods of relieving pain and stress.

Even if you are planning to create your own program, diagnosis can be helpful. At least it makes sense to assess how you eat, how much water you drink, how much exercise you get, what medicines you take, and what symptoms you have before trying to make a plan to regain health and well-being. Stress levels can cause disruption to bodily functions, too. So learning stress management skills is important.

Go online to read up on the difference between healthy food and empty calories, on when exercise is too little or perhaps too much, what stress can to do you, and what supplements can help with certain symptoms. Better nutrition may not be all that is needed, but it will be the foundation for improving your health.
