Reduce excess oestrogen in fat cells With More Fibre and Less Saturated Fat
Why this Matters
Put simply, as oestrogen and testosterone declines around midlife. Our liver can't metabolise fats as well as before, and we develop hormonal imbalance which contributes to endocrine dysfunction. One result of this is more body fat especially at the belly, both in men and women. What's more, excess fat cells store more oestrogen which lowers progesterone and testosterone further, driving further unwanted mid life changes both in men and women.This includes belly fat.
Make it Easy
- Adding more fibre to your diet helps to reduce excess oestrogen in fat cells.
- 30g of fibre daily is a great goal.
- Remember to drink more water with it.
