style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although weight loss is the first thing that pops up in mind when someone mentions diet, not all nutritional plans are designed for that purpose. Some are prescribed before a certain medical procedure to prepare your body, such as a<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/clear-liquid-diet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> clear liquid diet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. There are some which aim at eliminating the harmful dietary component from a person\u2019s menu, such as<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/lactose-free-diet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> lactose-free<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/gluten-free-meal-plan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> gluten-free<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> diets. The last two diets are planned in such a way that lactose and gluten intolerant people do not consume these components and avoid negative side effects that they may bring along. Likewise, there is a list of estrogen dominance foods to avoid. Knowing what foods are on that list is essential to those who suffer from that medical condition and need to balance out their hormonal levels.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n    <section class=\"ad-single-wrapper\">\n        <div class=\"ad-single-text ad-title-wrapper\">\n            <h3 class=\"ad-single-title\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Get_your_personalized\"><\/span>Get your personalized<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n            <span class=\"ad-single-sub-title color-green\">\n                <svg class=\"icon-sparkle\" width=\"36\" height=\"21\" viewBox=\"0 0 36 21\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\">\n                    <path fill-rule=\"evenodd\" clip-rule=\"evenodd\"\n                          d=\"M34.6837 0.515943C34.8247 0.835947 34.9421 1.16291 34.9891 1.48987C35.1417 2.64466 35.3179 6.51949 35.2592 7.29863C35.2592 7.53515 35.1887 7.7995 35.0243 8.01516C34.7307 8.39777 33.9791 8.4256 33.5681 8.07081C33.4154 7.94559 33.3215 7.77863 33.2745 7.61863C33.1453 7.15254 33.0396 6.68645 32.9809 6.22035C32.8165 4.81512 32.6638 3.40293 32.5581 1.9977C32.5229 1.53161 32.6051 1.05856 32.6991 0.592466C32.7695 0.244637 33.251 -0.0197144 33.6973 0.00115537C34.2257 0.0289818 34.5546 0.230723 34.6837 0.515943ZM18.6184 9.78225C18.5734 9.67557 18.5344 9.57528 18.4971 9.47956C18.4178 9.27568 18.3465 9.09257 18.2426 8.91267C16.7159 6.24133 14.2615 3.86217 11.4665 1.60128C11.1377 1.33693 10.7267 1.08649 10.2687 0.919531C10.0221 0.829095 9.52885 0.843009 9.247 0.933445C9.03562 1.00301 8.88295 1.27432 8.92992 1.42736C9.01213 1.71954 9.18828 2.01868 9.4349 2.28303C11.0555 4.02913 12.6879 5.76829 14.3437 7.50048C14.8308 8.0068 15.3395 8.50887 15.8473 9.01L15.8473 9.01001C15.9883 9.14921 16.1293 9.28833 16.2697 9.42746C16.4811 9.64311 16.7159 9.85181 16.9626 10.0466C17.2327 10.2692 17.6437 10.4014 18.0547 10.2553C18.0691 10.2501 18.0836 10.245 18.0981 10.2399C18.1097 10.2358 18.1213 10.2318 18.1329 10.2278C18.3785 10.1424 18.6184 10.0589 18.6184 9.78225ZM1.98942 20.1407C2.17783 20.1221 2.37674 20.105 2.58175 20.0875C2.99012 20.0525 3.42272 20.0154 3.84492 19.9598C6.34632 19.6259 8.84771 19.292 11.3374 18.9442C11.8776 18.8676 12.406 18.7355 12.8875 18.5824C13.5334 18.3807 13.7566 18.0954 13.6509 17.7824C13.5452 17.4694 13.1224 17.2746 12.3826 17.2676C11.8776 17.2607 11.3374 17.2676 10.8559 17.3372C7.69683 17.8102 4.5378 18.2972 1.3905 18.7911C1.03819 18.8468 0.674137 18.9442 0.404034 19.0833C-0.2771 19.4242 -0.065712 19.9598 0.803314 20.092C1.01858 20.1228 1.25262 20.1258 1.51135 20.1291C1.66195 20.131 1.82092 20.133 1.98942 20.1407Z\"\n                          fill=\"#17B991\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n               meal plan!\n            <\/span>\n        <\/div>\n    \n        <div class=\"ad-single-text ad-desc-wrapper\">\n            <p class=\"ad-single-desc\">What's your main health goal?<\/p>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Estrogen_Dominance_Foods_To_Avoid\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\">Lose weight<\/a>\n            <a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Estrogen_Dominance_Foods_To_Avoid\" class=\"btn-ad btn-green\">Feel great<\/a>\n        <\/div>\n        <img class=\"ad-single-img\" alt=\"health-food\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"395\" height=\"383\" src=\"https:\/\/dev.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/themes\/gridlove-child\/assets\/img\/ad\/health-food.webp\">\n    <\/section><\/span><\/p>\n<p>If you are among those people struggling with hormonal imbalance, then this article is exactly what you need.

Estrogen is considered a \u201cfemale\u201d hormone that is produced by the human body and plays an important part in its maintenance of proper functioning. It promotes cognitive health, bone health, cardiovascular health, and other vital processes. Estrogen is especially important for the reproductive system and female characteristics, such as breasts and pubic hair. This hormone is produced by the adrenal glands, ovaries, and fat tissues. It also performs the following functions:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helps stimulate the growth of the egg follicle<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintains the thickness of the vaginal wall and plays a part in lubrication<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Enhances and maintains the mucus membrane that lines the uterus and regulates the flow and thickness of uterine mucus secretions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Used in the formation of breast tissue and regulates the flow of milk after weaning<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, the above-listed functions are performed by the estrogen in the female body. So, if you wonder, \u201cDo men have estrogen?\u201d you may be surprised to find out that male bodies also produce estrogen, although in smaller amounts than female bodies. Increased production of estrogen causes certain health issues, which will be discussed later on in this article.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&#038;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Estrogen_Dominance_Foods_To_Avoid\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-28440 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/10-2-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"estrogen foods to avoid\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/10-2.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/10-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/10-2.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/10-2-1636x920.jpg 1636w, https:\/\/dev.cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/10-2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Read More:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/estrogen-foods-to-avoid\/\">Estrogen Foods To Avoid: Balance Your Hormones To Achieve Optimal Health<\/a><\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Estrogen is divided into the following types (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicalnewstoday.com\/articles\/277177\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.webmd.com\/women\/guide\/normal-testosterone-and-estrogen-levels-in-women\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 7<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">):<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Estriol\"><\/span><b>Estriol<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since it is made from the placenta, levels of this type of estrogen rise during pregnancy and peak just before birth.

Estradiol is the most common type of this hormone in females during their reproductive years. It is responsible for female characteristics and sexual functioning.

Why is that so? The thing is that to reach optimal health, you need to follow a healthy diet, and some components are an inseparable part of that<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/balanced-diet\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> balanced diet<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. No food is harmful when consumed with moderation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Other_Ways_To_Naturally_Reach_Hormonal_Balance\"><\/span><b>Other Ways To Naturally Reach Hormonal Balance<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Besides the above-listed, some methods can help you naturally lower your levels of estrogen, thus promoting a hormonal balance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some of them:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Fight_Your_Stress\"><\/span><b>Fight Your Stress<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Being under constant stress is never a good thing. It can not only make you feel exhausted and burnt out but can also lead to such negative physical consequences as problems with sleep, weight gain, and hormonal imbalances.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you are stressed, your body prioritizes the production of cortisol, and so there is not enough pregnenolone to make progesterone, which leads to relative estrogen dominance. Therefore, you need to fight your stress.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If possible, try to avoid any stress triggers. If not, try various relaxation techniques like<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/yoga-before-or-after-workout\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> yoga<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> meditation<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">,<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> relaxation breathing<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and others. You can also reduce your stress levels by making some time for yourself. Take a bubble bath, read an interesting book, cook a delicious meal, listen to your favorite music, go on a picnic, or simply do something you enjoy the most.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Keep_Plastic_At_Bay\"><\/span><b>Keep Plastic At Bay<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid this material whenever possible. Switch from plastic containers to cardboard, glass, or wood. They are not only much better for your health, but also better for the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Eat_Up_On_Fiber\"><\/span><b>Eat Up On Fiber<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fiber belongs to the healthy dietary components. It can make you feel full for longer, thus boosting your weight loss and saying bye-bye to your hunger pangs. It also plays an important role in your digestion. Besides that, your body naturally eliminates excess estrogen with fiber. Some of the most fiber-rich foods include fruits and vegetables, beans and legumes, nuts, seeds, grains and herbs.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span><b>Conclusion<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Certain health problems can be helped with a correct diet. Estrogen dominance is believed to be among those problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Estrogen is a female sex hormone, which is also produced in male bodies. It plays a primary role in the maintenance of the proper functioning of the female reproductive system. There are three types of estrogen: estriol, estradiol, and estrone. Any imbalances in levels of these hormones may lead to a negative outcome. One of such deviations is estrogen dominance. This condition can be treated with the help of medication, surgery, or a diet. Knowing estrogen dominance foods to avoid can help you naturally reduce the level of estrogen in your body. The best approach, however, is to consult with your doctor or dietitian and stick to their recommendations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/first-page-generated?flow=2228&utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Estrogen_Dominance_Foods_To_Avoid\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DISCLAIMER\"><\/span><b>DISCLAIMER:<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This article is intended for general informational purposes only and does not address individual circumstances.
