Hormone balance

From I started menstruating I have had female 'problems'. Every month at that time you would find me in the sick room at school......several surgeries and all kinds of medication later and after not being able to put up with the flooding that came later in life I took everything out, and I mean everything, no cervix, no ovaries and of course no uterus...well thank God for leading me into the direction of a healthy lifestyle - I've found out that greens make me have no hot flashes or lack of sexual urges or lack of sleep and I have tons of energy, so if I had known before what I know now, I would have balanced my hormones and still have all my organs intact!
According to Dr.Ritamarie Loscalzo at www.vibranthormones.com "Hormones are like members of your family. When they’re in sync, everyone is communicating well, resulting in happy and harmonious relationships. When they are out of sync, you’re sunk. Communication gets disrupted and dysfunction results."
I have always been dysfunctional because of the way I ate...7 Pepsi`s during the day with a steak in butter for dinner will throw off every hormone you ever have! No vegetable was ever found on my plate at any time.....
There are foods to avoid, foods to include, environmental factors to clean up, stressors to manage, and simple things like the amount and type of movement you do, how much sun you get and the balance between activity and rest.
As you know we can overdo even when we are doing what's supposedly right.
Here’s a list of seven simple strategies you can get started on right away to get your hormones in balance.They are taken from the dozens included Dr Loscalzo's brand new course The Secrets of Being Sexy and Vibrant at ANY Age". I proved the green drink one with a friend who was having awful hot flashes so I know it works not just for me....

Seven simple strategies for restoring hormone balance

1- Consume at least 32 ounces of green drink daily, made from at least a pound of green leafy vegetables.
This may sound like a lot but the greens are so important and drinking them rather than just eating them helps increase the quality you consume. You can make delicious smoothies, juices or soups. Greens are filled with antioxidants, minerals and the B vitamin folate, which is very important for hormone balance. Be sure to include sprouts and cruciferous vegetables as they're especially potent hormone balancers.
2- Break a sweat every day, even if just for 30 second bursts.
Exercising to exhaustion for 30 seconds at a time,for a total of 4 to 8 minutes is an amazing way to increase testosterone levels, balance adrenal hormones and the
hormone insulin, support your thyroid hormone production and overall strengthen your immune system.
3- Get outside for at least 20 minutes, preferably in the middle of the day, for fresh air and sunshine.
This supports your body in making Vitamin D and excreting the chemicals you breathe from indoor air.
4- Open your windows, even if just a crack, for at least 15 minutes every day.
This brings fresh air in to replace the buildup of hormone disrupting chemicals found in indoor air.
5- Dump the sugar for whole fresh fruits.
Sugar disrupts your B vitamins which are essential for hormone regulation. It also affects the balance between estrogen receptors that are protective and those that promote growth. When these receptors get out of balance, your risk of hormonally induced cancer increases.
6- Drink pure water from glass containers, rather than plastic.
Hydration is vital to production and circulation of hormones and chemicals in the plastic have been shown to be hormone disruptors.
7- Take time each day to appreciate your gifts and the people you love.
Appreciation has profound effects on your immune system, the level of stress hormones in your system and your ability to cleanse and detoxify the toxic exposures that disrupt hormone balance.
