6. Cruciferous Vegetables
For those who have been told that they have too much estrogen in their body or if you are male and looking for a way to lower the amount of estrogen, eating cruciferous vegetables is one of the best options.

If you have higher than normal levels of estrogen, eating these vegetables can help to lower the estrogen production in the body and even things out. These vegetables also provide a good amount of vitamins and minerals. To determine if you have a high amount of estrogen you will need to discuss it with your doctor.
