Gallery: Hormonal Balance: Foods to Eat to Keep Your Hormones Intact

Are you having hot flashes? Do you have trouble sleeping? Does it seem like all of a sudden you are having a really difficult time with stressful situations? Maybe you’re gaining weight that you can’t lose, you're super irritable or you’re having inexplicable food cravings. So what do all of these things have in common? They are symptoms of hormonal imbalances within the body.

Your first reaction may be to Google-diagnose. Resist the urge! Instead, make an appointment  to see your doctor to dig really deep. In the meantime, start with your diet! A lot of hormonal issues are directly tied to deficiencies in a person’s diet.

Aside from seeing your physician, add some of these foods (more) into your meal plans. It’s proven that they can help to get you back to feeling like your old self again... Maybe even better!
