The foods you choose can significantly impact how you feel during peri and post-menopause. With your body’s changing needs, focusing on nutrition becomes even more critical for maintaining energy, supporting hormone balance, and managing weight.
Why Nutrition Matters During Menopause
Supports Hormone Health: Eating nutrient-dense foods helps your body regulate hormones more effectively.
Preserves Muscle Mass: Consuming enough protein is essential for maintaining muscle and boosting metabolism.
Helps Control Cravings: A balanced diet can help stabilize blood sugar levels, reducing cravings and energy crashes.
3 Key Nutrition Tips for Thriving Through Menopause
- Increase Protein Intake: Aim for 20-30 grams of protein per meal to support muscle preservation and keep you feeling full.
- Incorporate Healthy Fats: Omega-3 fatty acids, found in foods like fish, chia seeds, and flaxseeds, can help reduce inflammation and support brain health.
- Add More Fiber to Your Diet: High-fiber foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains aid digestion and help regulate blood sugar.
A mindful approach to nutrition can make a significant difference in how you feel, helping you navigate menopause with more energy and fewer symptoms.
