Hormone Pro Tip:
✔️ if you’re not consuming enough fiber, then instead of being eliminated, excess hormones can be reabsorbed back into your body leading to imbalanced levels. Fiber has also been shown to play a critical role in stabilizing blood sugar & insulin levels, both of which are critical for overall hormone health. Rice, beans, veggies are all playing a fiber role in this bowl
✔️ Protein + polypeptides make up most of your body’s hormones. Therefore consuming protein ( animal or plant based on your preference) is important to hormone health. Chicken, beans, and dressing all help with protein in this bowl.
✔️ Fats also helps make steroid hormones, including the sex hormones estrogen and testosterone. Avocado & dressing provide fats in this bowl for hormone health
