Better nutrition will help hormonal imbalances!

Change your diet by consuming organic meats, eggs, milk, and poultry that contain no growth hormones and antibiotics. Request organic foods at your supermarket or find one that already sells it.

Foods made from whole grains (corn, barley, brown rice, buckwheat, rye, oats,) are complex carbohydrates and they stabilize your blood sugar and reduce sugar cravings. This type of nutrition is a good source of protein, fiber and nutrients.

The best breads are whole-grain breads - choose brands without added sugar. Whole grain cereals are also the best for you. Unsweetened granola and steel cut oats are good choices. Health food stores probably have the best choice of cereals.

Seeds and nuts are good sources of protein and should be fresh, raw and unsalted. Nuts and seeds should be eaten in small amounts, because they are high in calories. Do not eat or consult physician if you have IBD (inflammatory bowel disease) or Diverticulitis.

Many diets are deficient in phytoestrogens, which are found in fiber-rich foods such as fruits and vegetables. Organic vegetables and fruits would be preferable if you can get them. Vegetables contain compounds called phytoestrogens that compete for estrogen receptors in your body, helping block the effects of excess estrogen, which causes all kinds of health problems.

Most vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals and fiber. People that eat lots of vegetables have lower cancer rates of all kinds. Most fruits are rich in nutrients and fiber and can help you with sugar cravings.
Fruits, vegetables, whole-grain foods, beans and legumes are good sources of both soluble and insoluble dietary fiber. Lentils, kidney beans, pinto beans, garbanzo beans, green peas and many others are great for making soups, with salads or with grains (brown rice).

Fresh cold-water fish and seafood are important in the diet - salmon, tuna, mackerel, cod, sardines, shrimp and herring. Cold-water fish is a good source of protein and of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. Cold-water fish oils are good for arthritis symptoms, they help lower cholesterol and thin the blood.

U.S. farm-raised salmon is fed antibiotics, synthetic colorings, and fish-meal byproducts that contain the probable carcinogen PCB's. Wild salmon, however, is 100% natural in its flavor, color, and important Omega-3 content. And wild salmon tastes great!

Do not use plastic containers to microwave your food, and try to avoid storing your food in plastic containers. Plastics are made from petrochemicals (called xenoestrogens) that generally have a very potent estrogen-like activity and thus are toxic.

Replace the petroleum-based home cleaning products with natural cleaning products that are much safer and won't keep adding to the chemical exposure overload that's so much part of everyday life in industrialized countries.

Increase your intake of water (8 to 10 glasses daily is ideal). So many of the bodily functions rely on the body being adequately hydrated.

Buying a good water filter is recommended to eliminate chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals and other toxic substances found in tap water. You will be surprised how much better filtered water will taste, as compared to regular tap water. Learn more about the health benefits of filtered water.
