This pineapple shrimp fried rice is much cuter when served in a pineapple, but delicious in a bowl as well! This recipe is so tasty, healthy, and easy - that you might just find that this becomes one of your new favorite dinners.
The ingredients in this recipe that are beneficial for your ovulatory phase are shrimp and pineapple. During the ovulatory phase, estrogen and testosterone surge, so you want to eat foods that help your body balance out the spike in estrogen and support the heart.
Shrimp is high in protein, selenium, and B12. The protein and B12 are important to maintain your higher energy levels in this phase, and selenium can boost progesterone production which will be important during the luteal phase.
Pineapple is rich in antioxidants, and an inflamed body won't be able to produce and maintain healthy hormone levels - so this is especially important as estrogen is at its peak during ovulation. It also contains an enzyme that aids digestion, bromelain, which helps protect your gut and helps you absorb vitamins and minerals.
