Find Balance With Womens Nutrition Carlsbad CA

By Joshua Robinson


Nutrition has much to do with quality of life. Without the basics of good food, pure water, sufficient exercise, fresh air, and a positive mental attitude, even the medical profession can do little. Especially for women, a healthy lifestyle is needed to foster the normal hormonal balance that makes life pleasant. Womens nutrition Carlsbad CA advisers can help the region's female population find health and happiness.

Most parents know well that a girl reaching puberty can have severe emotional swings as her hormone levels fluctuate. Hormones affect our emotions, our energy level, how well we sleep, and how well our reproductive systems function. They also affect weight gain and metabolism. Hormones are produced by female organs but also by organs that both sexes have, like the adrenal glands.

Estrogen is known to be the dominant hormone for women. Actually this is a class of hormones, which differ according to age and stage of reproductive development, maturity, and decline. Estrogen causes a girl to develop a womanly figure, to have a regular cycle of fertility, and to conceive a child. Other hormones work with estrogen to perform all the bodily functions required. Imbalances result in PMS, unpleasant menopausal symptoms, and the fatigue that plagues many modern women.

Unfortunately, painful periods and mood swings are common for women of child-bearing age and menopausal disorders affect millions of older women. Fatigue is one of the most common complaints doctors hear from women over forty. Night sweats, hot flashes, dry and thinning skin and hair, dry eyes and mouth, and heavy bleeding can make the 'change of life' long and unpleasant.

Foods and supplements can help a woman find the right balance at any stage of life. A poor diet that's full of junk food and short on whole grains, fresh vegetables, and fruits will aggravate many problems. Medical tests can help a woman know what is happening inside her body, but it's also possible to do your own research and change bad habits that are undermining your health. Even medical doctors often try natural means of addressing disorders before turning to pharmaceutical drugs.

In fact, many holistic clinics in the Carlsbad area are headed by medical doctors. The staff may include Chinese herbalists or experts on Ayurveda medicine, massage therapists, acupuncturists, and dietitians to help clients pinpoint the causes of their bothersome symptoms. A holistic plan of the right foods, enough pure water, adequate exercise, and supplementation can address the whole body's need for correction.

Even if you are planning to create your own program, diagnosis can be helpful. At least it makes sense to assess how you eat, how much water you drink, how much exercise you get, what medicines you take, and what symptoms you have before trying to make a plan to regain health and well-being. Stress levels can cause disruption to bodily functions, too. So learning stress management skills is important.

Many modern habits disrupt hormone levels. Too much screen time (either television or computer) can cause insomnia, especially if this activity goes on well into the evening hours. Other, more serious conditions like endrometriosis, can be addressed with nutrition. Supplements like phytoestrogens can help ease PMS and menopause.
