The Secret to Natural Hormonal Balance
1. The “Cooling” Flax & Berry Smoothie
- Best for: Hot flashes, night sweats, and digestive issues.
- Ingredients: 1 cup unsweetened almond or soy milk, 1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries), 1 tbsp ground flaxseeds, 1 tbsp chia seeds, and 1/2 tsp cinnamon.
- Why it works: Flaxseeds contain lignans (phytoestrogens) that can mimic estrogen to reduce the frequency of hot flashes. Berries and cinnamon help stabilize blood sugar to manage weight gain and mood swings.
- Method: Blend all ingredients with ice until smooth.
