In this article, we will discuss how phytoestrogen effects women with premenstrual syndrome.
I. Definition
Phytoestrogens also known as dietary estrogen, are non steroidal plant compounds which have a structural similarity with estradiol and the ability to cause estrogenic and anti estrogenic effects.
II. How phytoestrogens effect women with PMS
1. Hormone balancing
As we mentioned in the definition, phytoestrogens in the plant have the ability to lower levels of estrogen if it is too high and higher the levels of estrogen if it is too low. Since most women with pre-mentsrual syndrome always have some kinds of hormone imbalance, intake of photyestrogens not only will helps restore the balance, but also reduce the symptoms of PMS.
2. Hormone stimulating
Phytoestrogen also have the ability to regulating the levels of sex hormone binding globulin SHBG circulating in the bloodstream. SHBG is produced by liver in fat and protein metabolism and the right levels of SHBG help to reduce symptoms of PMS such as mood swing and water retention.
3. Menstruation
Research found that women intake of phytoestrogen helps to increase the length of period for some women who have too short period as well as lighter period.
4. Liver booster
Phytoestrogen also increases the liver function in regulating the levels of prostaglandins hormone by fat and protein metabolism resulting in lessening the menstrual pain and cramps for some women with PMS.
5. Circulatory system
It also helps to reduce the levels of bad cholesterol in the blood stream, leading to more oxygen being transported to the cells in the body and increasing the normal cells function resulting in lessening the symptoms of PMS including the cells in nervous system.
