It’s been found that overexposure to environmental estrogen-like compounds known as xenoestrogens can cause estrogen dominance. Estrogen dominance can negatively impact one’s physical, mental, and emotional health. While xenoestrogens are impossible to avoid completely, you can significantly reduce your exposure to them. First, rid your daily life of plastic, especially water bottles and food containers. Get rid of Styrofoam cups and plates. Go green with household cleaners, laundry detergents, solvents, and paints. Purchase glass food storage containers and invest in a whole-home water filtration system. And whenever possible, buy organic food and cook with non-toxic ceramic, cast-iron and stonewear.
Key Takeaways:
- Overexposure to xenoestrogens, which are environmental estrogen-like compounds, can lead to estrogen dominance, a condition that negatively impacts your mental, physical and emotional health.
- Although xenoestrogens are everywhere, and complete avoidance is impossible, you can markedly lower your estrogen levels by purging the top culprits found in your home and replacing them with the healthier options
- You should purge plastic (water bottles, food containers, cling wrap, cutlery etc.), styrofoam plates and cups, and foods packaged in metal cans.
