Anyone that has issues with trying to balance their endocrine system knows how difficult a task it could be. I am going to go right to possible natural, alternative ideas to urge a healthy endocrine balance.
* EAT A NUTRITIOUS diet:
Low glycemic.
No packaged, processed food.
Eat whole grains.
Watch for added hormones, antibiotics, GMO’s. (Try to buy organic)
Eat more protein.
Eat enough fat to help hormone balance. (Olive oil, flax seeds, nuts, coconut
products such as oil, butter, manna.)
Eat seaweed. Iodine is crucial for a healthy endocrine and to regulate metabolism.
(Grind up some Kombu seaweed and sprinkle it on your food.)
Cook cruciferous veggies so they don’t disrupt the thyroid because they contain
goitrogens. (Substances that suppress thyroid function.)
Eat foods high in antioxidants.
* EXERCISE:
At least 3 days a week for 40 minutes. Simple walking.
Practice yoga to stimulate and support the endocrine system.
Postures to stimulate the thyroid are: shoulder stand, one-legged forward bend,
fish pose, plow pose, catch stretch, sun salutation .
* BREATHING TECHNIQUES:
Kapal Bhati (skull shining breathing technique), Nadi Shodhanam (alternate
breathing technique), Bhastrika and Ujjayi breathing. An excellent, simple book
on how to do these pranayamas is Yoga Breathing pranayama made easy……
By Scott Shaw

begin the pranayama’s.
