5 Ways To Increase Your Progesterone Naturally
Progesterone is the hormone that prepares the female body for conception and pregnancy, it regulates the menstrual cycle and is produced in the ovaries, the placenta or the adrenal glands. If the woman has difficulties to get and stay pregnant, one of the reasons could be low progesterone levels. The progesterone levels change during the menstrual cycle and if conception occurs, it prepares the uterus for the fertilized egg. There are ways to increase progesterone levels naturally without using hormone replacement therapy.
Symptoms of Low Progesterone
When the levels of estrogen in in the body are too high, the levels of progesterone will drop and this can lead to symptoms like irregular menstrual cycle, weight gain, heavy bleeding, depression, sleep disorders, tender breasts and premenstrual syndrome. You need to eat enough fresh fruits and vegetables in order to intake a sufficient amount of vitamin B6 and C to increase progesterone. Zinc is the mineral that can help too and is found in seafood, pumpkin seeds and nuts. Stress could also be a reason for low progesterone because the cortisol will reduce the production of it. So, how can you naturally support the progesterone production without medication or an invasive therapy?
Estrogen and progesterone are two of the hormones that are very important for the women’s health and if one of them is higher or lower, some changes in her body will occur. The symptoms of low levels of progesterone could be hot flashes, low libido, anxiety and mood changes, headaches, absent or irregular menstrual cycle, emotional and metabolic issues, skin problems. If the woman is pregnant already, the low levels of progesterone may lead to abdominal pain, fatigue, tender breasts, low blood sugar and spotting.
Diet Rich in Nutrients
In order to keep the healthy levels of the progesterone in the body, you need your blood sugar to be stable, so avoid sugar and fast carbohydrates. A diet rich in high quality protein and good fats, with a lot of vegetables and fruits is the optimal for the overall health and the hormonal balance. In order to boost the progesterone production you can add to your diet more egg yolks, walnuts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, shellfish, cherries, spinach and even dark chocolate. On the other hand, you will need to avoid foods which decrease or block the progesterone production.
