We live in a world where our body is exposed to massive amount of these chemicals in the form of meat, dairy, environment, water supply and also produce.
Around 90 per cent of the people in the world suffer from a case of excess estrogen either earlier on in their life or later on. This excess estrogen basically occurs when the levels of estrogen are really high compared t the rest of the sex hormones and this condition as also known as estrogen dominance. Now this situation of excess estrogen does not only occur because of the excess of those chemicals.
Sometimes when people age the estrogenic activity which takes place in the body gets increased. Also sometimes the testosterone gets converted to estrogen because of the aromatize enzyme. Another reason why there might be a dominance of estrogen is because of use of drugs.
Sometimes athletes who take steroidal drugs suffer from high levels of estrogen in their body. The rate at which people suffer from this is increasing and hence it also has a lot of devastating effects as well. Sometimes in men there is weight gain in the belly or even in the chest. For women the weight gain is in their upper thighs, hips and also the lower butt.
Another effect of this disease is the feminization of men and also sterility. For women it has PMS disorders and endometriosis. Now excess of estrogen also causes cancer for both men and women including prostate, ovarian and also breast cancer. In order to recrudesce this you need to make sure that you have enough of steamed vegetables.
Now these vegetables have to belong to the cruciferous family. Hence this will include cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower.
