@lavanya Menopause is a normal part of a woman’s aging process. Menopausal transition, or perimenopause, usually begins four years before the last menses. Here are some food that you should include in your diet like
- Eat a well-rounded diet rich in calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D.
- Consume omega-3 fatty acids.
- Add foods containing plant estrogens or phytoestrogens. Broccoli, cauliflower, dark berries, chickpeas, and soybeans can help mimic estrogen and reduce some menopausal symptoms
- Include- dark green leafy vegetables, especially spinach and kale, Yogurt, Cheese, Milk, Flax and chia seeds,
You can even cut off a few things like Processed foods, Refined carbohydrates, and Alcohol.
