Introduction

Estrogen is an important hormone in the body, influencing everything from reproductive health to bone strength. While the body naturally produces estrogen, certain foods contain phytoestrogens—plant-based compounds that can mimic or support estrogen activity. Including these foods in your diet may help balance hormones naturally, especially during menopause or when hormone levels fluctuate.

1. Soy Products

Examples: Tofu, soy milk, edamame, tempeh.

Why: Soy is one of the richest sources of isoflavones, a type of phytoestrogen that closely resembles human estrogen.

2. Flaxseeds
