For women, it is especially important to ensure that they include fresh fruits, vegetables and grains for a smooth menopausal journey. Here are seven foods to include in your diet.
Foods like tofu, tempeh, soy milk, and edamame contain phytoestrogens, which are plant compounds that mimic the effects of oestrogen in the body and may help alleviate hot flushes.
Whole grains can help stabilize blood sugar levels and potentially reduce hot flushes triggered by blood sugar fluctuations.
These tiny brown seeds work wonders in reducing hot flushes, as fenugreek seeds soaked in water and had each morning, cools down the body greatly.
Flax seeds are high in lignans, another type of phytoestrogen, which may help balance hormone levels.
Consuming aloe vera gel in the form of smoothies or protein shakes allows the body to absorb essential vitamins and minerals, that it might lose as a result of excessive sweating.
Common menopausal effects like vaginal discharges, hot flushes, anxiety and mood swings are said to be reduced to a bare minimum, as a result of shatavari consumption.
