Women, how do you retain estrogen?

Estrogen loss: About one-third of women between the ages of 30 and 40 are facing this dilemma. Even if you don't understand medicine, you know the importance and subtlety of estrogen to women as the name suggests. Professionals point out that the amount of estrogen is limited. If 1/3 is lost, physical and mental discomfort will appear. If 1/2 is lost, it is time to see a doctor.

When estrogen is not right, a host of problems follow: menstruation is not right, body shape is not right, skin is not right, emotions are not right, body feelings are not right, being with "him" is not right... Two words rumble in your mind: premature aging.

In this way, I became a reserve member of menopause at an early age. And the number of such "team members" is surging among women in their twenties and thirties. I am afraid that one day, women will no longer be women. Who stole our estrogen? Is it the evil workplace, the pressure of competition, or the increasingly feminine men?

Estrogen for women

Any obstruction in any link between the brain and the ovaries can disrupt the balance and cause estrogen secretion disorders.

Estrogen is a female hormone secreted by the ovaries in very small quantities. Together with progesterone and androgen, it is regulated by the higher centers of the brain through a three-level structure of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonads (ovaries) to effectively control the normal operation of female development, menstruation and sexual function. This three-level structure restricts and influences each other. In other words, any obstruction in any link from the brain to the ovaries can disrupt the balance and lead to a disorder in estrogen secretion.

You don't need to understand the working process of estrogen too clearly. You just need to understand two points: 1. This is a very complex and advanced process, and your body is great; 2. This is a very rigorous and delicate process, and your body will not agree if anything goes wrong.

Because of estrogen, we are women (because of lack of estrogen, we are not women enough)

1. Promote the development and maturation of reproductive organs such as the uterus, fallopian tube, vagina, and vulva, and maintain them in a normal state. (On the contrary: underdeveloped, weak "basic links" of being a woman)

2. Promote female breast development, pelvic width, subcutaneous fat accumulation, etc., to create a plump figure unique to women. (Opposite: skinny, pencil-shaped)

3. It works together with progesterone on the endometrium, causing periodic changes in the endometrium and resulting in the ebb and flow of menstruation. (On the contrary: no "tide", stagnant water)

4. Promote vaginal epithelial proliferation, keratinization and increase glycogen content, maintain an acidic environment in the vagina, improve resistance and prevent bacterial infection. (On the contrary: it is difficult to resist bacteria and inflammation continues)

5. It relaxes the cervical opening, increases and thins the secretion of cervical mucus, and facilitates the passage of sperm, thus helping conception. (On the contrary: eager to have a child, repeatedly "fighting" and repeatedly failing)

In addition, it is also related to the smoothness of your skin and the size of your sexual desire. Think about it carefully, aren't the things it takes care of things that women care about?

Estrogen and a woman's life, year, month, day

There is no reason why estrogen will last forever, but as long as it follows the path of harmony, its rise and fall will become a beautiful curve. It is not as beautiful as a well-organized ups and downs if it only rises and never falls or if it stays flat all the way.

Don't sacrifice your health in the name of "health"!

Dieting and being a vegetarian have been popular "healthy" trends for quite some time, but few people know that they will lead to the loss of estrogen.

◆Be more fat-friendly

Don't sacrifice your health in the name of "health"! Dieting and vegetarianism have been popular "health" trends for a while, but few people know that they will lead to the loss of estrogen. Since it is related to secondary sexual characteristics, estrogen is naturally an important "material basis" for making women plump and attractive. Conversely, its amount depends on women's body shape and subcutaneous fat content. The relationship between them is mutually beneficial. Because in addition to the ovaries, adipose tissue is also a source of estrogen production, it has the ability to promote the conversion of androgens into estrogen in the body; insufficient protein intake can lead to disorders in various physiological functions of the human body, and reproductive function is of course no exception. The function of the ovaries to secrete estrogen is affected, and ovulation will stop and reproductive function will be disordered. Dieting to lose weight often means insufficient intake of fat and protein.

Studies have confirmed that women need to have body fat of at least 22% of their body weight to maintain a normal menstrual cycle. This is also the minimum fat standard for pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding. If the estrogen level is lower than this standard, it will be in a state of deficiency. Over time, menopausal symptoms will appear at an inappropriate time.

◆99% of people do not need estrogen supplementation

Psychologists often have to see young women who cry loudly in the consulting room. Some of them have rapidly expanded their careers in a short period of time and are very busy; some of them have encountered unexpected events or severe tests and gritted their teeth to endure them, claiming that they can feel that "aging is accelerating"; some of them have their own way of life, smoking, drinking and drinking coffee all night long. Some of them have their estrogen levels checked, and perhaps their vitamins and trace elements assessed.

The psychologist said: "For people who experience menopausal symptoms before the age of menopause, 99 out of 100 can recover through self-regulation. There is no need to rush to supplement estrogen." Live your life as it is, eat when you should eat, sleep when you should sleep, take a break when you are tired, move around when you are stiff, and smile more. It's not difficult to do, the difficult part is doing it.

◆Get rid of the pressure

Work pressure! It is a curse for working women. When negative emotions accumulate to a certain level, they not only weigh on the heart, but also on the brain, making it difficult for the hypothalamus to cheer up, hindering the production of estrogen, and causing a sharp drop or stop in estrogen secretion. Psychologists warn not to disrupt the perfect balance. Work, family life, and personal space, the three legs standing together are always more stable than two legs or even one leg. The "three legs" should have equal roles and help each other, and you need to distribute your energy evenly.

◆Golden sleep and golden meal

Can you get the "golden" sleep from 12 midnight to 2 am every day? If you don't sleep during this period, even if you sleep for 10 hours after 2 am until the sun is high at noon the next day, the quality of sleep cannot be made up. “Breakfast is gold, lunch is silver, and dinner is copper.” Have you got it wrong? Are you too busy to death? Are you playing too much? Sometimes you go hungry for two meals and stay up for 24 hours, and sometimes you “eat too much” and “sleep too much”, squeezing each other here and there and destroying the originally balanced and stable structure of your body and mind.
