Top Foods Affecting Your Hormone Levels

February 3, 2016

A variety of factors can impact your body’s hormone levels, including the foods you eat. Diet plays a role in so many factors of your life, and your natural hormone balance is no exception. If you’re looking to balance your hormones or identify what foods may be trigger a hormonal imbalance, consider these top foods that can impact your hormone level.

1. Vitamin D and Zinc-Rich Foods

Top Foods Affecting Your Hormone Levels

Top Foods Affecting Your Hormone Levels

Testosterone, the male hormone, can be found both directly and indirectly in a number of foods. One way to boost your testosterone levels is by seeking out foods that are rich in vitamin D, such as tuna and egg yolks. Zinc is another ingredient that can positively impact testosterone levels, so seek out foods featuring zinc. When you incorporate white, kidney, and black beans into your diet, you’ll benefit from both vitamin D and zinc, which can boost testosterone.

If your doctor has diagnosed you with low testosterone levels, known as hypogonadism, incorporating testosterone-boosting foods into your diet can help. However, always check with your doctor before adding hormone-rich foods to ensure you don’t overdo it.

2. Almonds

Dieticians often point to nuts as a healthy snack given their impressive nutrition. In addition to being good for you, almonds can increase your body’s adiponectin hormone. This hormone is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels, which keeps your hormones in check. The hormone-balancing effect of almonds can also result in positive benefits for your complexion. Women may turn to almonds to reduce the male hormone testosterone, which can result in breakouts or dry skin. Before subscribing to an almond hormone-regulating regimen, men should talk to their doctors to discuss its effect on their testosterone levels.

3. Pineapple

Pineapple has several hormone-increasing effects on your body. A study in the Journal of Clinical Investigation revealed that pineapple can increase the production of hormones, including testosterone, that regulate muscle and body development among many other important functions. Likewise, pineapple can regulate melatonin and serotonin levels in the brain. Both women and men alike can find these benefits useful, making pineapple a smart addition to your diet.

4. Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is celebrated as a healthy saturated fat — and for good reason. Coconut oil plays a key role in hormone regulation and can help convert cholesterol into pregnenolone, which is a key component in hormone development. Thus, well-regulated hormones can be achieved by adding a little coconut oil to your diet. Talk to your doctor about how much coconut oil you need for hormone regulation.

Incorporating hormone-rich or hormone-inducing foods into your diet can positively impact your health. Exploring the many foods that impact hormone levels can help you design a diet that’s right for you. At Hotze Health & Wellness Center, we can help put you on the path to better health.

I’ve been a guest at this facility for 15 years. They are the most efficient, thorough and caring group of individuals I’ve ever experienced. Dr Hotze looks to change the way a typical doctor treats patients and looks for root causes to eliminate medical issues instead of treating “symptoms”. My life has improved 100% since my initial visit. The cost of the treatments are worth it.

I cannot accurately describe in words how I feel about this practice and the entire staff. I have had quite a few health issues throughout the years, rheumatoid arthritis, sjogrens, weight gain, hair loss, irritability, and that is just the beginning. I had pretty much given up on feeling good, just decided to "live with it" and hope for the best. Two very close friends love the Hotze Wellness Clinic and they have experienced life changing health. Made my appointment and from the beginning I felt heard. Not a in and out fast food style practice. They are looked and are looking at my entire body for overall health and wellness. Connections from mind and body to clinical blood work, even dental questions....they care and I feel as if I can trust them. I am on a path to complete wellness and my goal is to have my RA back in remission as it once was....make yourself a priority. Having hope is an incredible feeling!
