The #RawCarrotSalad TikTok Trend That ‘Balances Your Hormones’

Everybody loves a health food trend, from milk alternatives to a plant-based diet. The raw food movement goes way back, with historians suggesting that the first recorded mention of the diet goes back to the 1800s when Swiss-born Maximillian Oskar Bircher-Benner recommended eating raw apples to help with jaundice.

One of the latest food trends is the raw carrot salad, with the corresponding hashtag #rawcarrotsalad being viewed 8.1 million times on TikTok.

TikTok user Paige Nicole26, currently a student on a Holistic Hormone Specialty Program, explains in her video with over half a million views: “This [salad] has become a staple in my diet for balancing the excess estrogen that can peak at different times in my cycle.”

4 healthy food swaps to improve gut health | Health

Our gut plays a much more crucial role than we would imagine. From breaking down the food and converting it into nutrients, balancing hormones, removing toxins to mental health, our gut almost defines our overall health and not just digestion. Many researchers are studying the gut microbiota nowadays. There is a wide range of bacteria – almost 40 trillion – that resides in our body, mostly in gut and provide different health benefits to us by taking care of important body functions. Unhealthy gut microbiome, on the other hand, could cause inflammation and change the way our immune system works; it also makes us susceptible to various diseases like diabetes, cancer, depression, and also autoimmune diseases like arthritis.

TUESDAY, Aug. 30, 2022 (HealthDay News) — Individuals reporting higher intakes of ultra-processed food (UPF) are significantly more likely to report worse mental health symptoms, according to a study published online July 28 in Public Health Nutrition.

Eric M. Hecht, MD, Ph.D., from the Charles E.
