Hormones on raw foods

Date: March 25, 2010 03:32PM Does anyone know how hormones are affected for women on the raw diet? I read that most fruits and veggies are estrogen blockers, would we run into deficencies? I'm curious because I"ve been very emotional lately and I'm not sure why. Not changing anything, just eating more fruit with spring emerging. Re: Hormones on raw foods

Date: March 25, 2010 07:47PM According to Chinese medicine, fruits are yin (female), so perhaps that has something to do with it. Are you detoxing? Fruits are great cleansers and when you detox you can release stored emotions. Re: Hormones on raw foods

Date: March 25, 2010 08:41PM there shouldnt be too many hormonal issues infact should be better as the liver can metabolise hormones more effeciently plus your not getting them from the normal SAD hormone infused diet.
aslong as your fat intake is adequate then you should be fine unless there is some underlying condition such as hypothyroidism. Re: Hormones on raw foods

Date: March 26, 2010 02:40PM Thank you so much for reposting that video Sapphire. Perfect explanation. I've never seen Ros Gruben speak before, I had a very different impression of her from pictures and interviews etc. So dynamic - I was transfixed!
Lizard: just to add, in my experience, I was physically affected by hormonal changes due to the huge weight loss I underwent during my initial stages of raw. (ie menstruation cessasion etc). I'm not sure if this relates to your situation, but I just thought I'd mention it.

Bananawho, If fruits are yin does that mean that greens are yang? Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
