There are things we can do to help get back in balance & support our hormones after the festive break!
Keep hydrated! It can be trickier in the colder weather to drink enough water. I keep topped up with herbal teas & endless mugs of ginger tea, so much more warming. Being well hydrated helps reduce fatigue, headaches & hot flushes.
Eating whole foods! This means I am less hungry, less likely to need snacks between meals & more sustained energy. High fibre foods & cruciferous veg help the liver do it's job of eliminating excess hormones & supports the production of hormones. Whole foods will also stabilise blood sugars, great for our gut & reduce inflammation.
Early bedtimes! Sleep supports our body, brain, reproductive & cardiovascular systems. It is vital for hormone balance, regulating cortisol, our stress hormone & our hunger & appetite hormones.
Daily movement! Walking, yoga 🧘♀️ & I tie it in with morning light exposure too. This supports our mood, energy levels & bone health. Regular movement helps lower cortisol levels, helps manage blood sugar levels and triggers our feel good hormones to lift mood & help lower anxiety.
