After 35 years old, be careful that lutein is too low to increase the risk of cancer! Harvard doctors teach 4 tricks of natural conditioning.

Sarah Gatfried (American gynecologist) has low lutein content: Do you have any questions about this? Your serum lutein should be between10 and 25 ng/ml on the 2nd1or 22nd day of menstrual cycle, and the ratio of lutein to estradiol in saliva should be 1 ~ 300. That is to say, in the luteal phase, a normal woman of childbearing age who is ovulating, the amount of lutein is 300 times the concentration of estradiol, which should ideally be measured five to six days before your menstruation begins. I found that the number of 300 is ideal for most women, which also helped me to prevent symptoms caused by low lutein, such as premenstrual syndrome, fibroids, menstrual pain and emotional problems, including the tendency to suffer from depression (which has now been solved). Lutein is your security guard, standing guard at the door of the uterus. If your lutein is low for a long time, see a doctor. You may need to do pelvic ultrasound or biopsy to ensure that the endometrium is not too thick (if your endometrium is really too thick, the doctor may do a biopsy to rule out abnormal growth of cells in the uterus). If your menstrual cycle is shorter than 2 1 day, be sure to ask medical staff to check whether there is precancerous lesion or canceration in the endometrium. The following are four serious diseases related to low lutein: 1. Endometriosis is the most common cause of pelvic pain, and 10% of women in the United States suffer from this disease, that is, 5 million women suffer from this disease. This is a disease in which endometrial cells migrate and transplant outside the uterus, usually in the ovary or other pelvic organs, causing inflammation and sometimes severe pain. In one study, nearly half of women with endometriosis had low lutein content in their blood or short luteal phase. Lutein impedance seems to be the cause of endometriosis. Women with endometriosis cannot produce enough progesterone receptors, especially in endometriosis. This makes it difficult to turn off estrogen activity, so the estrogen value will increase, especially around abnormal tumors. The treatment of endometriosis includes prescribing lutein drugs (usually synthetic lutein pills, also known as fertility promoters). 2. Endometrial precancerous lesions or low-cancer lutein will lead to excessive estrogen proliferation in the endometrium, thus increasing your risk of endometrial precancerous lesions or cancer. 3. Anxiety Because lutein can help us calm down, some women with low lutein content will feel anxious. Even among volunteers without anxiety problems, lutein and its downstream products, such as progesterone metabolites, show anti-anxiety effects. Paradoxically, some women who take lutein have the opposite effect: fidgety. Facts have proved that high doses of lutein are helpful for sedation, but low doses may cause anxiety. Dose response depends on how lutein interacts with GABA receptor, so it is best to try several different doses to determine the optimal dose. 4. Sleep disorder One of the most distressing symptoms before menopause is poor sleep quality. Although there is no danger to life, poor sleep will affect all aspects of body and mind. 20 1 1 year, American pharmacists seized 60 million prescriptions for sleeping pills, compared with 47 million in 2006. Unfortunately, sleeping pills are not the real solution. The most popular prescription drugs can only make you sleep about 40 minutes more every night, and they can't be used for a long time. In fact, new data show that prescription sleeping pills increase the risk of cancer and death. For middle-aged women with sleep problems, there are actually other solutions: taking100-300mg lutein orally has been proved to be helpful to restore the normal sleep of postmenopausal women (please note that this dose is higher than the general dose and is limited to women with sleep problems). For normal women without sleep disorder, lutein has no effect on sleep. However, other studies have shown that taking high doses of lutein may cause emotional problems for women, so I suggest keeping a conservative attitude and finding the best dose for you.

Five reasons of low lutein aging. Especially for women who gradually entered menopause at the age of 35, the number of mature eggs decreased, ovulation decreased and lutein decreased. Stress. If your problem is chronic stress, cortisol will block progesterone receptors. When pregnenolone and progesterone are damaged, your body will produce cortisol, which will lead to pregnenolone theft. Oligoovulation or anovulation. Ovulation period is the key for women of childbearing age to make lutein regularly every month. If you don't ovulate, whether it is because there are no eggs or other hormonal problems, such as too much testosterone, it will cause lutein deficiency. Hypothyroidism. Thyroid hormone is very important for the smooth operation of the hormone I described earlier. You need enough thyroid hormones to make pregnenolone from cholesterol and then lutein. If the thyroid hormone is too low, the body cannot produce too much lutein. In addition, it will cause a vicious circle: when lutein is too low, the body will increase the demand for the thyroid gland, and the thyroid gland must work harder. If the thyroid gland is already in a critical state, it will make your already low lutein level worse. Too much prolactin. Some women produce too much prolactin, a hormone in the pituitary gland that can control women's milk secretion. Excessive prolactin in the blood will interfere with the ovarian function of premenopausal and premenopausal women, leading to the decrease of lutein and estrogen secretion in ovarian hormones. Solution: Gatfrid's course of treatment for low lutein is sometimes complicated, which can not be solved by adding more hormones. Lutein impedance means that some women cannot respond to lutein cream or pills. There are several ways to increase your lutein value: premenopausal women can take vitamin C and raspberry, while menopausal women can use lutein cream or lutein pills without prescription. In the premenopausal stage, the ovary may still produce lutein, just push it. After one year of complete menopause (officially defined as menopause), external use or oral administration of lutein is the best choice. I suggest you adjust the course of treatment according to your age. Please start with the following steps. Step 1: lifestyle change and health care products 1. Vitamin C Vitamin C is the only effective solution. It is the only health care product for lutein that can be bought without prescription, and it has been proved to be effective. Taking 750 mg daily, vitamin C has been proved to increase lutein value in women with lutein deficiency and luteal phase deficiency. In a randomized trial, female subjects were randomly given vitamin C or a placebo. During three menstrual cycles, the lutein value of women taking vitamin C increased from eight to thirteen ng/mL on average (remember, your goal is ten to twenty-five mL). If your lutein is generally low, that is, it is not caused by luteal defects, we don't know whether vitamin C can improve your lutein value, but the dosage mentioned here is not much. It is absolutely safe to take 750 mg a day, although the recommended daily intake commonly seen on nutrition labels is extremely low, only 75 ~ 90 mg. By the way, taking 500 ~ 1000 mg of vitamin C every day can also help prevent cancer and stroke, keep eyes healthy, enhance immunity and promote longevity. Because it is water-soluble, any excess vitamin C will be excreted from urine, which is a win-win situation. 2. Communicating with others is another kind of pressure, and communication can help women calm down. "Intimate" exercise with your partner has been proved to increase the content of lutein in saliva. 3. Quit coffee. Did your doctor ask you about caffeine? I think not, because many American doctors are addicted to caffeine themselves. I'm sorry to have to tell you this bad news, but I suggest that the first step to treat low lutein is to quit caffeine. Caffeine has a temporary refreshing effect by increasing cortisol, but high cortisol may block lutein receptor: your daily refreshing magic weapon may reduce the ability of lutein to bind to its receptor. Although it has not been proved that caffeine can reduce lutein in women who still have menstruation, two studies have shown that caffeine is related to the symptoms of PMS. However, I won't let you be upset or have a headache during abstinence. I have a systematic method: First, I quit ordinary coffee and drink yerba mate or green tea, then I drink decaffeinated yerba mate or green tea, and then I switch to aromatic herbal tea, such as South African national treasure tea and fruit tea. 4. Stay away from alcohol. When you quit coffee and non-herbal tea drinks, you can consider quitting other drinks that may have a bad effect on hormone balance. Alcohol intake is related to premenopausal anxiety, emotional problems and headaches. Drinking more than 3 to 6 servings of alcoholic beverages per week will increase the risk of breast cancer. If this is not enough to convince you, alcohol will also increase abdominal fat. Because when you drink wine, the liver will change to convert alcohol into energy instead of using the fat in your body, which will make the fat burning mechanism out of balance and may also reduce the fat burning rate by more than half.
