🌱What is Seed Cycling?
✴️ Seed Cycling involves incorporating different seeds throughout the different phases of your menstrual cycle 🔄
🛑 For sure, seed cycling does not replace any treatment or medicine and is not the solution for infertility, irregular periods or any other hormonal issue.. But it is an easy way to support hormone production in a natural way.

🌱Explanation
▶️ During the follicular phase, days 1-14, eat 1-2 tablespoons of pumpkin seeds and freshly ground flax seeds. In this phase, estrogen increases and an egg starts to mature in preparation to ovulate.
Pumpkin and flax seeds can help naturally increase estrogen. They also provide fiber to help support estrogen metabolism. Flax seeds contain lignans, which the body uses to bind to excess estrogen so it can be eliminated from the body. Pumpkin seeds are high in zinc, a building block nutrient for healthy hormones.

▶️ During the luteal phase, days 15-28, eat 1-2 tablespoons of sesame and sunflower seeds. In this phase, the corpus luteum produces progesterone and helps to thicken the uterine lining in preparation of a fertilized egg... Progesterone levels rise and peak during this phase; it can be responsible for symptoms such as bloating, mood swings, trouble sleeping... Sesame seeds contain lignans used to bind and eliminate excess estrogen. Sunflower seeds are high in selenium, a building block nutrient for healthy hormones.

‎🌱 ما هو تدوير البذور؟
‎✴️ يتضمن تدوير البذور دمج بذور مختلفة خلال مراحل مختلفة من دورتك الشهرية 🔄

‎🛑 بالتأكيد ، لا يحل تدوير البذور محل أي علاج أو دواء وليس حلاً للعقم أو عدم انتظام الدورة الشهرية أو أي مشكلة هرمونية أخرى .. ولكنها طريقة سهلة لدعم إنتاج الهرمونات بطريقة طبيعية.

توضيح🌱
◀️ خلال المرحلة الجرابية ، الأيام 1-14 ، تناولي 1-2 ملاعق كبيرة من بذور اليقطين وبذور الكتان المطحونة حديثًا. في هذه المرحلة ، يزداد هرمون الاستروجين وتبدأ البويضة في النضج استعدادًا للإباضة.
يمكن أن تساعد بذور اليقطين والكتان في زيادة هرمون الاستروجين بشكل طبيعي. كما أنها توفر الألياف للمساعدة في دعم استقلاب الإستروجين. تحتوي بذور الكتان على قشور يستخدمها الجسم لربط هرمون الاستروجين الزائد بحيث يمكن التخلص منه من الجسم. تحتوي بذور اليقطين على نسبة عالية من الزنك ، وهو عنصر غذائي أساسي للهرمونات الصحية.

◀️ خلال المرحلة الأصفرية ، الأيام 15-28 ، تناولي 1-2 ملاعق كبيرة من السمسم وبذور عباد الشمس. في هذه المرحلة ، ينتج الجسم الأصفر البروجسترون ويساعد على تكثيف بطانة الرحم لتحضير البويضة المخصبة ... ترتفع مستويات البروجسترون وتصل إلى ذروتها خلال هذه المرحلة ؛ يمكن أن يكون مسؤولاً عن أعراض مثل الانتفاخ وتقلب المزاج وصعوبة النوم… تحتوي بذور السمسم على قشور تستخدم لربط الاستروجين الزائد والقضاء عليه. تحتوي بذور عباد الشمس على نسبة عالية من السيلينيوم ،
وهو عنصر غذائي أساسي للهرمونات الصحية

🌱What is menopausal belly and why does it occur?
As women approach menopause, typically between the age of 45 and 55, estrogen levels begin to fluctuate affecting us in many ways and causing hot flashes, mood swings, night sweats as well as fat around the belly area.
In fact, after the drop of estrogen levels, the fat distribution begins to shift from the hips and thighs to the abdomen area which cause the belly fat.
Fighting menopausal belly or the accumulation of visceral fat around the midsection during perimenopause or menopause can be very challenging, but there are several strategies to help manage and reduce it.

Here’s another ideas; let me know which one do you prefer:
1️⃣ Apple slices with peanut butter: a combination of complex carbs, protein & healthy fats. It’s a great one if u’re dealing with a sweet craving or feeling hungry before bedtime.
✅ Buy organic peanut butter when possible and make sure it contains only peanuts and maybe a bit of salt.
2️⃣ Avocado Toast: You can use sour dough wholewheat bread or gluten-free bread. A great combination of healthy fats & complex carbs. You can add a bit of feta or mozzarella cheese
3️⃣ Exotic Smoothie: a combination of complex carbs (from the fruits & leafy greens) & healthy fats (flax & chia seeds). You can check the recipe on this link: https://healthy-crafts.com/recipe/1109/ or link in Bio

🌱What is Glyphosate?
Glyphosate is the active ingredient in the most common herbicide (or weed-killer) used in crop. It was first used in the United States in 1974 and now, we can say that glyphosate is literally everywhere: in our soil, air, water, foods and no doubt in our bodies.
Even if we eat organic food, the chances are still high that we’re consuming glyphosate.

➡️While Glyphosate is very useful in some circumstances, many researches have shown that it’s a human carcinogen.
➡️The top glyphosate containing foods are wheat products as well as corn, soybeans, chickpeas, oats, lentils, almonds, beets…

➡️How to protect yourselves from glyphosate?
- Try to reduce or eliminate the consumption of these foods
- Buy organic whenever it’s possible. Organic foods will definitely have less glyphosate than conventional foods
- Add more foods to boost your immune system, turmeric, ginger, green tea, garlic, onion, citrus fruits, mushrooms… (check previous post about immune system)
- Protect your gut by eating more prebiotics and probiotics

Always to your good health 💚🤍💚
