Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Hello, women of the group, If you are estrogen dominant (perimenopause, POC, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, etc.) you'll want to avoid estrogen producing foods. If, on the other hand, your estrogen has dropped (closer to actual menopause), try adding more of the foods below. Michelle http://www.holisticmidlifewoman.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Foods Containing Natural Estrogens A number of different foods and herbs are sources of natural plant estrogens, and can be very helpful during menopause. The following is a list of some of the best food sources of estrogen. These foods are also high in vitamins, minerals, fiber, and essential fatty acids, and they are low in saturated fat. In other words, they are nutritious and should be part of your diet on a regular basis. Alfalfa Animal flesh Anise seed Apples Baker's yeast Barley Beets Carrots Cherries Chickpeas Clover Cowpeas (black- eyed peas) Cucumbers Dairy Foods Dates Eggs Eggplant Fennel Flaxseeds Garlic Hops Licorice Oats Olive oil Olives Papaya Parsley Peas Peppers Plums Pomegranates Potatoes Pumpkin Red beans Red clover Rhubarb Rice Sage Sesame seeds Soybean sprouts Soybeans Split peas Sunflower seeds Tomatoes Wheat Yams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Thanks for the list...great! Eggplant is a very unique food. Why do people put Salt on then rinse? Why do people not eat the Skin of the Eggplant? The Eggplant is in the same family as Tomatoes and Peppers. , " Michelle " <michelle wrote: > > Hello, women of the group, > > If you are estrogen dominant (perimenopause, POC, endometriosis, > uterine fibroids, etc.) you'll want to avoid estrogen producing > foods.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2006 Report Share Posted September 15, 2006 Oh I see. I once heard Dr. Carlton Fredericks Ph.D Nutrition say: " Eggplant is called The Poor Man's Protein or the Poor Man's Meat. The Eggplant is a member of the Nightshade family as are potatoes and peppers. So Eggplant is very high in protein; " good to know. Could be another reason why The Mediterranian Diet works so well.
