🎂We want to eat nutritious food, & enjoy some fitness most of the time but we also don’t want to be the one at the party with our glass of water & lettuce leaves. Instead be the one enjoying an occasional wine/beer & cake too!
🙃Along with Nutritious foods, hydration, sleep, stress and exercise we should consider the effects of Estrogen, progesterone & testosterone on your health!
🤦🏼♀️Estrogen lays down fat. Progesterone on the other hand, is essential for us to be able to access body fat to burn it.
😌Progesterone is one of our most powerful anti-anxiety agents, anti-depressant and a diuretic, which means that it allows us to excrete any excess fluid we may be carrying. It is essential for burning body fat.
🙃If estrogen is far too high for the amount of progesterone being produced, body fat will be stored.
🙃The liver plays a central role in whether estrogen levels are appropriate or far too high for body fat to be burnt.
🙂Getting this hormonal balance right can change a woman’s life. Here is information on this topic from Dr Libby Weaver https://www.movenourishbelieve.com/nourish/hormones-a-holistic-approach-by-dr-libby/
✔️It's important to remember that our body is not just the food we eat, the water or what we drink, but the stress we have, the sleep we get, the environmental factors around us (sprays / smoke / pollen...), plus genetics too. And as I mentioned above hormones!
🤦🏼♀️So when you're trying to work out why your body isn't responding to changes in food choices, remember it can be much more!
🫒But food choices is a good place to start! Basic whole foods with herbs, spices added. Delicious!
