On the topic of hormones, the food we consume plays a pivotal role in shaping our overall health and wellbeing. As we navigate the complexities of life, finding recipes that not only excite our taste buds but also contribute to hormonal balance becomes a major key. Enter the “Salmon Poke Bowl,” a vibrant and delicious dish that combines flavours, textures, and nutrients to create harmony within your body.
🍣 Salmon – Omega-3 Fatty Acids: These essential fatty acids are crucial for hormone production, reducing inflammation, and supporting overall cellular function.
🥑 Avocado – Healthy Fats: Monounsaturated fats, which are heart-healthy and can contribute to hormone production.
🥭 Mango – Vitamins and Antioxidants: Mango is a rich source of vitamins A and C, as well as antioxidants. These nutrients play a role in supporting the immune system and overall health, indirectly contributing to hormonal balance.
🍚 Sushi Rice – Complex Carbohydrates: Balanced blood sugar levels are crucial for hormonal balance, and complex carbohydrates help regulate blood sugar and provide a steady source of energy.
🪸 Seaweed – Iodine: Iodine is a mineral important for thyroid function. The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism, and adequate iodine supports the health of the thyroid.
🫛 Edamame Beans – Protein and Fiber: Protein is essential for hormone synthesis, and fibre supports digestive health and blood sugar balance.
🌱 Sesame Seeds – Healthy Fats and Micronutrients: Sesame seeds contribute healthy fats, vitamins, and minerals. They also contain zinc, which is important for the production and regulation of hormones.
