It is advisable to eat more foods rich in protein and vitamins, such as lean meat, eggs, fresh vegetables, fruits, etc. Eat less raw, cold, spicy and other foods. Keep exercising, don't smoke or be exposed to passive smoking, and strengthen your physical fitness.

2. Appropriate supplementation of phytoestrogens

To prolong the youthful state of the ovaries, the most classic medical method is to supplement estrogen. Estrogen is like water injected into the human body, which can help restore women's sexy beauty and make the skin glow. However, estrogen supplementation requires a doctor's guidance. If you already have diseases such as breast cancer, estrogen is not suitable for you. As a substitute for estrogen, soybeans are rich in isoflavones, which are plant estrogens that are very close to the human body. Women who drink 500 ml of soy milk or eat more than 100 grams of soy products every day have a good effect on improving hormone secretion.

3. Prevent premature ovarian failure

Women who are often busy and stressed at work and have irregular menstruation need to be alert to premature ovarian failure.

Long-term depression and discomfort in women will directly affect their breasts and ovaries, and long-term liver qi stagnation will inevitably directly affect ovarian function. Avoid sitting for long periods of time and staying up late.

4. Maintain a regular sexual life

Regular sexual life provides women with a good endocrine environment, which is beneficial to the health of the ovaries. But at the same time, avoid excessive sexual intercourse. Frequent sexual intercourse directly damages kidney essence, kidney yin, kidney yang, etc., leading to kidney qi decline, which directly causes ovarian dysfunction, vaginal dryness, and aggravated amenorrhea.
