❌ Foods to Avoid for Gynecomastia: 1. Soy Products (in excess) Why? Contain phytoestrogens that may mimic estrogen. Examples: Soy milk, tofu, soy protein isolate, edamame. ✅ Okay in moderation, especially if part of a balanced diet. 2. Processed Foods and Fast Foods Why? High in trans fats and additives that may disrupt hormones. Examples: Burgers, chips, bakery items, frozen meals. 3. High-Sugar Foods Why? Excess sugar increases insulin and body fat, which can raise estrogen. Examples: Sweets, pastries, sugary drinks, desserts. 4. Alcohol (especially beer) Why? Alcohol affects liver function and may reduce testosterone; beer contains phytoestrogens from hops. 5. Dairy Products (high-fat) Why? Some milk and dairy may contain hormones or hormone-disrupting chemicals. Prefer: Organic or hormone-free dairy if used. 6. Packaged Meat with Hormones Why? Some processed or non-organic meats may contain growth hormones. Examples: Non-organic chicken, beef, deli meats. 7. Flaxseeds (in excess) Why? Also high in phytoestrogens—can affect sensitive individuals. Small amounts usually fine, but avoid overuse. ✅ Tips to Balance Hormones Naturally: Focus on high-protein, low-fat diet. Eat more cruciferous vegetables (like broccoli, cabbage) – they help reduce excess estrogen. Include zinc-rich foods (pumpkin seeds, lentils, cashews) – boost testosterone. Maintain healthy body weight. Exercise regularly (strength training is especially helpful). #drdivyat #drdivya #male #gynecomastia #food #doctor
