]]> There’s a lot of information circulating the internet lately about balancing hormones. There are so many factors that play into regulating your hormones including things like exercise, stress levels, nutrition, and sleep. Whether you are struggling with PMS, menstrual cramps, or acne as a result of hormone imbalances, you may be looking for a quick solution. 

Unfortunately, there is no “simple fix”, as each of these factors mentioned needs to be properly dealt with, but some people claim that eating some seeds regularly has a great impact on their hormone levels. You can grind up seeds and put them in smoothies, add them to your toast, or top your salad with them. 

Pumpkin Seeds

Pumpkin seeds are commonly used in “hormone balancing” meals for many reasons. They are loaded with zinc, Omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamin E, which all help with regulating different aspects of the menstrual cycle. 

Sunflower Seeds

Sunflower seeds are another great seed to incorporate into your diet because they contain selenium. Selenium is a mineral that helps with detoxification of estrogen.

Flax Seeds

Flax seeds are great because they support estrogen production. They also help reduce menstrual pain and PMS symptoms by helping with excess estrogen production.

They are associated with numerous health benefits, including improved heart health, balanced blood sugar levels, increased fertility, and better sleep quality.

Offering a similar nutrient profile, pumpkin seeds are also a more economical and allergen-free alternative to nuts. Here are a few ways to get more of these tasty seeds into your diet.

Pumpkin Seed Butter

Make pumpkin seed butter in your bullet blender. All you need is pumpkin seeds, sea salt, and a little pumpkin seed oil or other nut oil and you’ve got yourself a versatile spread that will keep in the fridge for up to two weeks. Enjoy pumpkin seed butter on toast, with crackers, in smoothies or why not make some funky chocolate pumpkin butter cups?!

Toasted Pumpkin Seed Salad Topper

Toasted pumpkin seeds have a delicious deep, savory, and nutty flavor. Simply warm a dry frying pan over medium heat, add the seeds, and toast until they begin to pop! Once cool, you can transfer the seeds to a jar, ready to sprinkle on salads, rice bowls, and other savory dishes

Pumpkin Seed Energy Balls

Add pumpkin seeds to your oat and date energy balls to add even more health-boosting nutrients. You may want to pop them in the food processor to break the seeds up a little, or leave them whole for extra crunch!

All these seeds came from one of my sweet sugar pie squash, which are keeping beautifully through winter in my basement. Unfortunately I can't plant these seeds as squash will happily cross pollinate with any other cucurbit (melons, cucumbers, other squash) within a 1/4 mile radius. So these are for roasting.
