Estrogen gives women secondary sexual characteristics

If a woman wants to stay young forever, she must find a way to preserve the estrogen that is gradually decreasing or even disappearing, and the later the menstruation stops, the better.

Estrogen gives women secondary sexual characteristics, such as fuller breasts, regular menstruation, etc. In other words, estrogen can maintain a certain level of moisture in the skin, making the skin look soft and delicate. The so-called menopause means that the secretion of estrogen gradually decreases and reaches its lowest level when menstruation stops. This happens when women are around 50 years old, and they completely lose their reproductive function.

In fact, from the age of 45, women enter the pre-menopause. The ovarian function gradually declines, the estrogen secretion decreases, the water content of the skin also decreases, wrinkles slowly appear, and the skin loses its previous luster and elasticity. Before the age of 50, women are less likely to suffer from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases than men. This is because the presence of estrogen maintains the softness of blood vessels, and their blood vessels are not easily hardened. However, after estrogen disappears, women's chances of suffering from such diseases increase. At the same time, osteoporosis begins to appear. Most women's back pain is caused by osteoporosis.

Before and after menopause, one of the most common changes is hot flashes on the face and uncontrollable emotions, all of which are due to the decrease in estrogen secretion by the ovaries. Artificial estrogen supplementation may induce some cancers. For example, breast cancer and endometrial cancer. Hippocrates, the father of Western medicine, said: The further humans are from nature, the closer they are to disease; the closer they are to nature, the closer they are to health. His ancient teachings have been reflected in modern people's health principles of returning to nature. When it comes to delaying aging, estrogen supplementation can be completely integrated into daily life.

◆Ensure a cup of thick soy milk every day

Experts suggest that women should pay special attention to the supplementation of soy foods from a young age. After entering the age of 30, they should ensure a cup of thick soy milk or a piece of tofu every day. Because the supplementation of estrogen by soy cannot be reflected immediately, soy supplementation should start as early as possible.

◆Homemade drinks to supplement estrogen

When the early symptoms of menopause, such as mild hot flashes, have gradually appeared, soy alone is ineffective. During this period, decocting angelica in water, about 10 grams a day, and drinking it like tea can significantly change the symptoms caused by the decrease in estrogen. Angelica sinensis has always been the "holy medicine" of traditional Chinese medicine for treating various gynecological diseases. Another method is to make tea with hawthorn, dandelion and ginger. You can start drinking it when you turn 40 and drink it every day. It will gradually and naturally replenish the gradually decreasing estrogen.

◆White fungus is a good skin moisturizer

As people age, their skin develops wrinkles and loses its youthful radiance. Why? There are many reasons, one of the most important of which is that the gelatin in the subcutaneous layer loses its elasticity.

It is certainly a good idea for plastic surgeons to implant gelatinous foreign objects under the skin to smooth out wrinkles, but using food to extend the life of the gelatin under the skin or to increase the amount of gelatin under the skin is a better way. White fungus is a food that has this effect.

White fungus is rich in natural plant gum, and with its nourishing effect, it is an excellent skin moisturizer when taken for a long time. Moreover, it is not expensive and can be cooked in a variety of ways, making it suitable for long-term consumption. White fungus can usually be stewed with rock sugar or made into soup with red dates.

◆ Take or fresh royal jelly

Among bees, the bee that grows up eating royal jelly is the queen bee. It lays eggs throughout its entire life, and despite such huge consumption, its lifespan is dozens of times longer than that of an ordinary bee. It is now discovered that this is because the queen bee eats the royal jelly secreted by the palatine glands of worker bees. Women entering the early stages of menopause should regularly take a small amount of royal jelly to supplement estrogen.

◆Foods that delay skin aging: high-protein foods, such as eggs, milk, soy products, etc.

Protein is one of the essential nutrients for the human body. Regular consumption can promote the growth of subcutaneous muscles, making them plump and elastic, and is very effective in preventing skin sagging and delaying aging.

Foods rich in vitamin E include sesame oil, wheat germ oil, peanut oil, lettuce leaves, and butter and cod liver oil. The vitamin E in this type of food can prevent subcutaneous fat oxidation, enhance the vitality of tissue cells, and make the skin smooth and elastic.

Foods rich in vitamins and minerals, such as green leafy vegetables such as radish, tomato, cabbage, celery, as well as apples, oranges, watermelon, dates, etc. The vitamins and minerals in these foods can enhance the skin's elasticity, flexibility and color, and are very effective in preventing the skin from becoming dry, cracked and rough.
