Women’s hormonal health is depending on harmony of progesterone and estrogen. There are many causes for hormonal imbalance but the root of the cause is estrogen dominance. The environment in which we are living right now is so industrialized that anything we eat is constantly assaulted by estrogens. Plus all the chemicals in the products that we use on a daily basis make it extremely challenging to control.

According to a doctors statement, even women with low estrogen level can have estrogen dominance because there is not enough progesterone. Estrogen dominance is caused by many different things.

Some of them are hormone therapy, environmental estrogens, birth control pills, stress, pharmaceutical estrogens, and also cosmetics. A recent study shows that women who take prempro which is combination of estrogen and progesterone are increasing the risk of stroke, blood clots, heart disease, and breast cancer.

Xenoestrogens is an industrially made compounds that contains estrogen that can be easily find everywhere, like in our poultries or dairy products.

Another thing you need to know is that the cattle who are slaughtered for our food chain are fed with estrogenic steroids to fatten them up. Therefore for our next grocery shopping we need to look at more organic food and try to avoid at any cost buying foods that contains RBST (Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin), which means artificial growth hormones. Xenoestrogen also can found in following:

– Plant estrogens

– All artificial scents

– Canned Foods

– Plastics

– Cling food wrap

– Cosmetics

– Birth control pills

– Paints

– Dry cleaning fluids

The lists can go on and on. By looking at these facts, PMS and PMDD is in another word we can say its all man made symptoms.

If we start taking our control over what we eat, and we also avoid using all the products that contain mimic estrogens (xenoestrogens) and those entire chemical compounds that we use everyday, these will no longer interfere with our health and soon to be eliminated all the pms symptoms.
