containing foods into your diet, it's very simple. Soy is one of the best food sources
of phytoestrogen. This includes both whole soybeans, and products made from soy, such
as tofu, and soy milk. Barley, flax seed, and beans and legumes, such as lima beans,
lentils, garbanzo beans, and chickpeas, are also high in phytoestrogen. Many fruits and
vegetables also contain phytoestrogen. Apples, carrots, tomatoes,and cherries, are just a
few. To incorporate more estrogen in your daily diet, try having soy yogurt with flaxseed
sprinkled on it, for an afternoon snack, or mix barley and garbanzo beans with herbs,
for an easy side dish. I'm Katie Adams, a registered dietitian, with Decathlon Club,

diet.
