Few days ago I came across a very interesting dietary suggestion
for a post Pill deregulated body. In The Holy Kale post titled 'Getting Off Birth Control Pills? Now What?' (click to read the original) among others such
as eliminating xenoestrogens and
supplementing complex of B vitamins,
the author suggests to include healthy saturated fat (such as coconut
oil) and Bee or Flower Pollen rich in bioflavonoids into the
diet.
The suggestion intrigued me because I already know and
practice the rest of the points listed by the author but above two were an interesting
surprise. After a further research I found out that indeed, the body and more
precisely the liver uses saturated fats to actually make hormones and uses bioflavonoids as hormones building
blocks. Taking them daily helps to bring back the hormonal balance in the woman’s
body.
I didn’t have to think long, I dug a jar of organic
coconut oil from the back of my cupboard which I have bought few months ago but didn’t
really use much and I bought a bag of bee pollen from a nearby health food
store. Regardless the fact I will probably not be able to tell whether including
them into my post Pill diet will really have an effect on my hormones getting
back into balance, adding them will certainly cause no harm.
