How to Increase Estrogen Levels

Estrogen levels are important to the health of both men and women, but increasing estrogen levels can be especially crucial for women. When a woman reaches menopause, estrogen levels decline, resulting in hot flashes, loss of sexual desire, fatigue and depression. For men suffering from low estrogen levels, the main concern is developing low bone mineral density, according to a study published in the American Journal of Medicine and conducted by Dr. Shreyasee Amin and his colleagues from the Mayo Clinic. You can learn steps to increase your estrogen levels naturally.
