“Smart” Foods During Menopause

An article examines the nutritional needs of women during menopause, a period of significant hormonal changes that affect metabolism and health. According to studies, over 70% of women experience symptoms that affect their daily lives, such as hot flashes, insomnia, mood swings, and increased abdominal fat. The article emphasizes that menopause is not a negative phase, but a natural transition that requires attention and care. It suggests a “restart” of the diet, with an emphasis on lean protein, vegetables, healthy fats, calcium, vitamin D, and complex carbohydrates. The importance of phytoestrogens, found in foods such as flaxseed, legumes, and soy, is highlighted, as is the need for adequate protein intake to maintain muscle mass. Good hydration and consumption of Omega 3 fatty acids are also recommended. Finally, the article emphasizes the importance of exercise in addressing the changes brought about by menopause and promoting overall health and well-being.
