What you eat can play a significant role in managing menopause symptoms and supporting overall health during midlife. A well-balanced diet can reduce discomfort, boost energy, and prevent long-term health issues like osteoporosis and heart disease.
Key Nutrients for Menopause Health
- Calcium and Vitamin D:
Support bone health with dairy products, leafy greens, and fortified foods. - Phytoestrogens:
Found in soy, flaxseeds, and legumes, these natural compounds can help balance hormones. - Healthy Fats:
Include sources like avocados, nuts, and olive oil to support heart health.
Foods to Limit
Reduce caffeine, alcohol, and sugary foods, as they can trigger hot flashes or energy crashes.
At WoMAN, we provide nutrition counseling to help women make informed dietary choices for better health during midlife.
