Is obesity and poor muscle strength caused by it? Eating broccoli can regulate hormones and promote metabolism

For female friends, estrogen is an important hormone that affects their physiological changes throughout their lives! But do you know? Overweight women have higher estrogen levels than normal people, and too much estrogen will hinder muscle formation, becoming a major obstacle for women to develop a well-proportioned body. A well-known Japanese sports and weight loss instructor said that if you want to get rid of the vicious cycle mentioned above, moderate consumption of broccoli, which is rich in indoles and helps maintain normal hormone metabolism, is a good choice!

Why can’t I grow muscles no matter how much I move? It may be caused by too much estrogen

Obesity is caused by excessive calorie intake and insufficient digestion, which results in the excess calories being stored in the body in the form of "fat". Overweight women have abundant fat content in their bodies, and the large amount of conversion enzymes in their fat tissue will convert the male hormones in the human body into estrogen. Too much estrogen will hinder muscle formation, making it difficult for women who want to lose weight to increase muscle mass and making them more prone to edema.

In his book "Eat Like This Starting at 30, Good Metabolism Will Make It Easier to Lose Weight", the well-known Japanese sports and weight loss instructor Takuro Mori mentioned that excessive secretion of female hormones not only makes people fat and difficult to lose weight, but is also more likely to cause obesity in the lower body.

There are tips for increasing muscle and reducing fat: exercise + balanced diet, eating broccoli to regulate hormones

What should overweight women do if they want to lose weight and successfully gain muscle and lose fat? The sports slimming instructor at Sentuolang mentioned that in addition to controlling your diet and developing a habit of regular exercise, moderate intake of broccoli in your daily diet is a good choice as it helps adjust hormone balance!

The indole components contained in broccoli can not only help the normal metabolism of male and female hormones, but the indole-3-carbinol compound can also promote the synthesis of enzymes in the body that break down estrogen. When consumed in moderation, it can effectively inhibit the production of the female hormone estrogen, which hinders muscle formation, and promote the proper secretion of the male hormone testosterone, which promotes muscle and bone formation, in order to maintain the balance of hormones in the human body.

In addition to the above benefits, broccoli, which is a member of the yellow-green vegetables, also contains vitamin A, which has excellent antioxidant properties; as well as vitamin C, which is beneficial for beauty, helps collagen synthesis, and relieves stress. In addition, every 100 grams of broccoli contains 4.3 grams of protein (cabbage contains 1.3 grams and tomatoes contain 0.6 grams). Therefore, speaking of vegetables, broccoli can be said to be one of the indispensable foods for women who love beauty to improve metabolism and maintain beauty.
