HWHR Clean Fifteen and Dirty Dozen

Hormonal symptoms can be very disruptive to a female runner so anything you can do to promote hormonal balance is going to help you enjoy your running and stick to your training plan.

Today we are focusing on a major disruptor of hormonal balance which may influence PMS and Menopausal symptoms – we all know what they are don’t we?

We are going to talk about how pesticides on fruit and vegetables act as an endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDC). Endocrine is another word for hormonal and these EDC’s act as fake hormones and can cause ‘disruption to natural processes’ so potentially very harmful.

We are going to discuss

·      How the Dirty Dozen Clean Fifteen list of fruit and vegetables may help you make healthy choices?

·      What vegetables support hormonal balance and where do they fit into the Dirty Dozen and Clean Fifteen?

·      What practical things we can all do to minimise pesticides and toxins from vegetables
