NUTRITION
We must prioritize nutrition and maybe even change our thinking about how we fuel our peri/menopausal bodies to help our symptoms, improve our overall health and set us up for quality future longevity.
EAT MORE minimally processed foods
Minimally processed foods are rich in nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, healthy fats, and fiber (and, in the case of fruits and vegetables, water). Many contain beneficial substances like phytonutrients (plant nutrients), antioxi-dants, and fatty acids that can be helpful during menopause.
​
These include omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as well as plant compounds like isolavones (found in soybeans) that may mimic or support the actions of estrogen, often reducing menopause symptoms.


EAT LESS highly processed foods and drinks
Highly processed foods are often stripped of nutrients, contain added ingredients (e.g., artificial flavors, preservatives) and are usually higher in sugars, salt, and less-healthy fats.
​
These foods are highly palatable and easy to overeat, making it difficult to notice and respect natural physiological hunger, fullness, and satisfaction cues.
