In a video recently uploaded to TikTok by renowned hormonal health expert Elsa Viñuela , she shared valuable advice for those dealing with hormonal imbalances , especially those related to the menstrual cycle . Viñuela emphasizes that hormonal problems are not only due to internal factors , but can also be related to lifestyle and diet.
One of the most important points she mentions is the importance of a healthy and balanced diet : "Make sure you prioritize plant-based, whole-grain foods in your diet, and don't forget those super-important carbohydrates ." According to Viñuela, these components are essential for maintaining hormonal balance and avoiding menstrual complications. She also emphasizes the need to consume a variety of fruits, vegetables, and nuts to provide the vitamins and minerals that menstrual cycles require.

Not only does diet play a crucial role, but physical activity as well. "It's essential that you develop muscle mass , which is a major hormonal regulator of the body ," she says. The key is to maintain an active lifestyle and choose the activities you enjoy most, so you can incorporate them consistently and naturally into your routine.
Rest , of course , is also essential . Viñuela recommends sleeping between eight and nine hours, preferably during the hours of darkness, to ensure a restful night's sleep . "Your rest is vital," says the expert, adding that exposure to sunlight in the morning also has a positive impact on hormonal balance , so she suggests dedicating about 30 minutes to this activity daily.

Finally, one of the most important factors for hormonal health is stress management . Viñuela points out that, despite maintaining a proper diet and exercising, "if we have a lot of stress, all of this will go down the drain." The expert recommends seeking therapy if you've never tried it, as well as practicing relaxation techniques or developing activities and hobbies that inspire calm and serenity.
Elsa Viñuela's message is clear: small changes in daily habits , such as a balanced diet , regular exercise , good rest and stress management , can make a big difference in hormonal health and overall well-being .
