4.  Healthy Fats that Balance Your Hormones

  • Nuts and seeds: Soak nuts and seeds in water overnight to help with digestion. Also in this list are olives, olive oil, hemp seed oil, flax seed oil, fermented cod liver oil, and raw, organic cultured dairy products.
  • Coconut oil- Actually, any and all coconut products. Coconuts contain lauric acid which, not only being great for your skin, but they really promote healthy hormone production.
  • Egg yolks – Eggs are rich in numerous vitamins and minerals, as well as potassium and phosphorous, all of which help your hormones as well as your entire reproductive system. When you eat only egg whites you are depriving yourself of the most nutritious part of the egg!
  • Avocados – Break out the guacamole! These great tasting green jewels are a great source of healthy fats that help our bodies process the nutrients we eat. Not only that, they are full of nutrients themselves such as fiber, magnesium, potassium and many essential vitamins.
  • Ghee (raw butter) – Ditch the margarine! Butter is a great source of short and medium chain fatty acids that are essential to your immune system as well as being the very building blocks your body needs for hormone production.

Once you find that your body has the nutrition it needs to make and balance your hormones you will find you not only have beautiful skin but that you have much more stable moods and tons of energy. When given the proper foods, our bodies are wonderful, stable, working machines that are a pure joy to experience.
