If you're a fan of black beans, you're going to love this recipe!

Black beans are classified as legumes. They're also known as turtle beans because of their hard shell appearance.

Black beans contain several vitamins and minerals that are known to benefit women's hormone health.💞

💗 They're high in calcium which can help ease PMS symptoms

Mood swings, pain, irritability, bloating, and all the other symptoms caused due to your menstrual cycle are signs of imbalance. Here’s the deal: Calcium levels in your blood can decrease during menstruation because of hormonal fluctuations that cause estrogen levels to spike, which in turn, lowers blood calcium. Getting calcium from foods like black beans (and kale) can help maintain hormone balance and alleviate your symptoms.

💗 They're also high in iron

Iron is necessary for the body to synthesize thyroid hormones. Many studies have shown that women suffering from hypothyroidism have lower serum iron concentrations compared to women with normal thyroid function. Healthy thyroid hormone balance means that you’ll have a lower risk of fertility and reproductive health issues, lower risk of heart disease, and an easier time balancing your weight, energy, sleep, and mood, not to mention healthier eyes, nails, skin, and hair too!

💗 Healthy digestion

Black beans are loaded with fiber that can help sweep out your digestive tract for more stable energy, reduced toxic loads, and healthier hormone regulation, meaning you're less likely to have bloating, food cravings, energy crashes, or excess estrogens being reabsorbed.
