There
are certain chemicals in our food supply, our makeup
and environment, such
as pesticides, herbicides, and petrochemicals that have an estrogenic effect inside our bodies. They all contain endocrine disruptors called xenoestrogens.
Endocrine disruptors are a category of chemicals that alter the normal function of hormones. And xenoestrogens are a sub-category of the endocrine disruptor group that specifically have estrogen-like effects.
Estrogen is a natural hormone in humans that is important for bone growth, blood clotting and reproduction in men and women. The body regulates the amount needed through intricate biochemical pathways. When xenoestrogens enter the body they increase the total amount of estrogen resulting in a phenomenon called, estrogen dominance.
Build up of xenoestrogens have been indicated in many conditions including breast, prostate and testicular cancer, obesity, infertility, endometriosis, early onset puberty, miscarriages and diabetes. These toxins also cause chronic inflammation which abrades the inside of artery walls. And it is this process that is the real cause of heart disease, heart attacks and strokes.
And so our body needs to store these dangerous excess toxins. Otherwise, they can lead to serious damage in our blood vessels and vital organs. All these dangerous chemicals end up being stored in our fat cells, which act as storage lockers. That is why, no matter how much exercise we do, or however much we cut down on what we eat, there is always that extra layer of fat we can never shift. We cannot burn our belly fat.
Luckily, cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, kale, brussels sprouts, cauliflower and cabbage contain phytonutrients such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) that can help to combat the effects of xenoestrogens in our body.
