Dietary Fats and Hormone Balance
Lots of people are scared of fats, because they think fats, make you fat.
This is simply not true.
Overeating, low thyroid function, and excess sugar intake are a few things that can cause weight gain…
Think Mediterranean diet, they eat so many fats daily and obesity is low.
BLUE ZONES BABY!
The gut, more specifically our gut microbiome, breaks down the nutrients from our food to make everything we need for our body to function.
This includes our Sex Hormones, LIKE OESTROGEN AND PROGESTERONE. They are called fat-soluble Hormones.
They are made from the fats that we eat! Cholesterol to be specific.
Which are made from Nutrition, from the Fats that we eat, and how effectively our gut breaks down those nutrients from our food depends on our resulting hormone levels and how our hormones function.
Interestingly, new research shows how the Gut Microbiome, our gut-friendly bacteria actually regulates Oestrogen in the body!
A new concept called the 'Estrobolome'.
So to keep our hormones happy we need fats in our diet and a healthy gut microbiome.
Below are some fats to consider eating as part of your balanced diet.
Eat seasonally and as local as you can to support the environment and our mother earth.
Healthy Fats to consider…
Organic Eggs (Pasture Raised farm eggs)
Avocados (limit, as not so sustainable unless you grow your own or they grow in your country)
Butter (Unpasteurised is the best as has more nutrition and the taste incredible)
Ghee (the best gut healer!)
Coconut Oil
Coconut milk
Oily Wild Fish - Sardines, Salmon, Anchovies!
Olive Oil. (Extra virgin, Unfiltered, Single origin)
Organic Nuts (Not great for Pitta Dosha, Vata should soak and activate theirs)
Grass-Fed Beef (Kapha do better with chicken)
Organic Pasture Raised Chicken - skin on and in bone is the best for more collagen!
Raw cows milk (Unhomogenised and Unpasturised)
