Rest and relaxation aid in hormone balance from "summary" of The Hormone Reset Diet by Sara Gottfried, M.D.
To truly reset your hormones, it is essential to prioritize rest and relaxation. When you are constantly stressed and not allowing your body time to rest, your hormone balance can be thrown off. Stress hormones like cortisol can become elevated, leading to a cascade of hormonal imbalances throughout your body. Rest and relaxation are crucial for giving your body a chance to recover and restore balance. When you are well-rested and relaxed, your body is better equipped to regulate hormones effectively. This includes hormones like insulin, thyroid hormones, sex hormones, and stress hormones. In addition to getting enough sleep, it is important to incorporate relaxation techniques into your daily routine. This can include activities like meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, or simply taking time to unwind and de-stress. By actively managing stress and prioritizing relaxation, you can support your body in maintaining optimal hormone balance.
