Why this salmon and avocado hormone salad is great

Hormone-supportive – Salmon brings omega-3 fatty acids that fight inflammation and support hormone production. Avocado delivers healthy fats and fibre to stabilise blood sugar.

Energy-boosting – High-quality protein plus slow-digesting carbs mean you won’t crash by 3 p.m.

Skin-loving – Healthy fats + antioxidants = glow from the inside out.

Star ingredients and why they shine

• Salmon – Rich in omega-3s, protein, and vitamin D — all essential for hormone health and reducing PMS symptoms.

• Avocado – Creamy and full of fibre, magnesium, and potassium to help with bloating and mood regulation.

• Leafy greens – Spinach, rocket, or kale pack in folate, iron, and antioxidants.

• Pumpkin seeds – A luteal phase superfood rich in zinc, magnesium, and healthy fats for progesterone support.
