Boosting progesterone levels through diet can be a beneficial approach for many women experiencing hormone imbalances. Here's how you can incorporate progesterone-boosting nutrients into your diet:
Fibre: Include foods high in fibre such as oats, flaxseed, and quinoa. Fibre helps reduce estrogen levels by promoting healthy digestion, allowing less time for estrogen to be absorbed into the system.
Zinc: Consume zinc-rich foods like lean beef, seafood, pumpkin and squash seeds, and nuts. Zinc supports the production of Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), which stimulates ovulation and progesterone production.
Vitamin B6: Incorporate foods containing vitamin B6 such as sunflower seeds, fish, turkey, and dried fruit. Vitamin B6 has been linked to improved progesterone levels and reduced miscarriage rates.
Magnesium: Consume magnesium-rich foods like spinach, fish, dark chocolate, whole grains, and nuts/seeds. Magnesium regulates hormone production by influencing the pituitary gland, which produces hormones like FSH and LH involved in progesterone synthesis.
Vitamin C: Include foods high in vitamin C such as yellow peppers, oranges, broccoli, kiwi, and kale. Research suggests that vitamin C supplementation can significantly increase progesterone levels in the body.
L-Arginine: Incorporate foods rich in L-Arginine, an amino acid found in high-protein foods. Lentils, salmon, pumpkin seeds, chicken, pork, and lean beef are good sources. L-Arginine supports blood circulation, aiding the effective functioning of the corpus luteum and ovaries responsible for progesterone production.
By incorporating these progesterone-boosting nutrients into your diet, you may help support hormone balance and alleviate symptoms associated with low progesterone levels.
