Keto Diet is gaining a lot of popularity and for all the right reasons. It helps in burning fat and weight loss – no doubt people do love it! However, one fact about Keto Diet that is lesser known is that a proper Keto diet can bring balance of female sex organs. Not just that, Keto diet is also known to lessen the hot flashes, zero energy levels, low sex drive, bone loss, mood swings, and other problems related to PMS, menopause, peri-menopause, and post menopause.

 This how keto diet helps in facilitating hormonal balance – 

1. Fat Supports Better Hormone

It has been established that all kinds of fats are bad for health. But, in Keto, it is the opposite. It is believed that fat coming from good fats such as nuts, seeds, coconut oil etc; boosts the hormone production.

2. Boosts Insulin Sensitivity

Insulin is a key hormone that controls blood sugar. When it is too high, it can impact the sexual hormones. A good Keto diet restricts your carbohydrates to 20-50 gms. per day as it helps in balancing the insulin levels. This in turn makes you insulin sensitive, which further helps in reducing weight. It also lowers the risk of other diseases such as cardiovascular, Alzheimer, dementia, and rebuilds your bone strength.

3. Boosts Reproductive Health

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a condition that can cause infertility. Poor sex hormones cause this condition and women having such condition suffer from obesity, overweight, or maybe insulin resistant. Though there is no treatment for this condition, it has been seen that a Keto diet can help boost the reproductive health as it boosts your insulin hormone. This in turn boosts testosterone which helps in improving weight related issues.

4. Relieves Pre-menstrual Syndrome (PMS)

PMS are irritable. They cause mood swings, depression, acne, fatigue, etc. A reason for this is having high levels of estrogen hormones. If you have too much sugar or carbohydrates in diet, it can cause increase in estrogen. A well planned Keto diet helps in detoxifying the body and creating balance of the estrogen hormone.

5. Protects Adrenal glands

In stressful situations, adrenal glands releases hormone cortisol to provide energy to face the stressful situations. If this stress goes unnoticed – the cortisol increases which affects your sex hormones. Having a Keto diet and leafy vegetables helps in balancing adrenals.

This Keto diet is a boon for women suffering from low sex hormones, hormonal imbalance or any other weight related issues.
