Cruciferous vegetables are rich in compounds called phytonutrients, such as indole-3-carbinol (I3C) and its derivative, diindolylmethane (DIM). When ingested, these have been shown to support the balance of estrogen in the body. DIM can aid in the metabolism of estrogen. 2. These cruciferous vegetables support the liver’s detoxification processes. They enhance the body’s ability to break down and eliminate excess hormones, including estrogens, through the promotion of phase I and phase II liver detoxification enzymes. Efficient detoxification helps in maintaining hormonal balance and reduces the risk of hormonal imbalances. 3. As they are also high in fiber, cruciferous vegetables can improve digestion and aid in the elimination of waste and excess hormones from the body. Fiber binds to estrogen in the digestive tract, which is then excreted, helping to regulate the body’s estrogen levels.
