All the health girlies know that 2 Brazil Nuts a day is like a natural zinc and selenium supplement. It's great for so many health reasons - some including boosting progesterone production and preventing hormonal acne. But, this is even better! Mixing Brazil nuts with dates and turning it into candy, being healthy has never been better.
Ingredients for your luteal phase: brazil nuts, dates. During the luteal phase, you want to focus on fiber-rich foods to support the large intestine in flushing out excess estrogen and consume nutrient-dense food as your body's metabolism naturally speeds up.
Dates are high in antioxidants and fiber, two important nutrients in the luteal phase. Fiber aids the liver in flushing excess estrogen out of the body while antioxidants help battle inflammation.
Brazil Nuts are high in selenium and zinc, but are also high in omega-3s. Our body cannot produce omega-3s on its own, so it's important to consciously add them to our diets. It's vital for our overall health, but also for our hormone balance as it aids the production of progesterone.
