A diet that limits carbohydrate intake and is high in good fats and proteins provides the building blocks for all your hormones, including important hormones such as cortisol, insulin, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone .
-
On the other hand, a diet rich in industrially produced foods and sugars but low in nutrients is often responsible for your hormones becoming unbalanced. For example, a diet high in carbohydrates causes your body to produce extra insulin, which in turn can lead to unstable blood sugar.
-
You get a sugar rush followed by a sugar crash and these fluctuations lead to an overproduction of the stress hormone cortisol.
