HORMONAL HEALTH

Do you often feel fatigued without any major illness? Your hormones may be responsible for that. Certain foods may mess with your hormone balance which may cause underlying health conditions.

Here’s a list of 5 foods that may mess with your hormone balance:

Chronic alcohol consumption disrupts the body's ability to maintain hormonal balance in thyroid and sex hormones, leading to imbalance.

Caffeine lowers melatonin and cortisol production in our body, which disrupts the circadian rhythm and causes hormone imbalance.

Fast foods and processed snacks are high in saturated fats, which causes inflammation and disrupts hormone balance.

The preservatives called nitrates in processed meats like bacon and sausage, may harm hormone regulation.

Consuming diet sodas and low-calorie snacks can interfere with hormonal signalling, worsening symptoms of hormone imbalances, such as insulin resistance.
