The Power of Seed Cycling Hormones Naturally
Hormonal equilibrium profoundly influences women's health, affecting aspects from menstrual regularity to overall well-being. Amidst synthetic interventions, seed cycling provides a compelling natural alternative, harnessing the nutritional power of seeds to encourage hormonal balance.
Understanding the Menstrual Cycle: A Prerequisite to Seed Cycling
Before delving into seed cycling, it's essential to comprehend the menstrual cycle's basics. Split into the follicular and luteal phases, these respond differently to estrogen and progesterone. Grasping this ebb and flow is crucial for effective seed cycling.
Follicular Phase: Integrating Pumpkin and Flax Seeds
Commencing in the follicular phase, incorporating pumpkin and flax seeds proves beneficial. Renowned for lignans, flax seeds regulate estrogen levels, preventing estrogen dominance. Pumpkin seeds contribute zinc, preparing the body for the progesterone-dominant luteal phase. Luteal Phase: The Role of Sesame and Sunflower Seeds Transitioning into the luteal phase, focus shifts to sesame and sunflower seeds. Sesame seeds, like flax seeds, contain lignans that regulate estrogen while promoting a healthy rise in progesterone. Sunflower seeds bring vitamin E and selenium, enhancing progesterone production and supporting estrogen detoxification.
