Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Lu
There is no such thing as "the fastest food for supplementing progesterone." Foods that can help supplement progesterone include soybeans, lemons, spinach, salmon, and walnuts.
1. Soybeans: Soybeans are an ideal food for supplementing progesterone because they contain abundant soy isoflavones, a component with effects similar to progesterone, which can help regulate progesterone levels.
2. Lemons: Lemons are rich in vitamin C and bioflavonoids, which can help promote the synthesis and secretion of progesterone. Consuming lemons or drinking lemon water in moderation can be beneficial for progesterone supplementation.
3. Spinach: Spinach contains abundant vitamin E and minerals. Vitamin E promotes the synthesis of progesterone, while minerals help maintain ovarian function, thereby indirectly promoting progesterone secretion.
4. Salmon: Salmon is a fish rich in high-quality protein and vitamin E. It helps promote progesterone secretion in women's bodies and improves ovarian function.
5. Walnuts: Walnuts are rich in trace elements such as zinc and selenium, as well as unsaturated fatty acids. These elements play important roles in maintaining hormonal balance in the body; zinc can promote the synthesis and secretion of progesterone.
Maintaining good lifestyle and dietary habits along with moderate exercise in daily life can help maintain hormonal balance in the body.
