Do you understand how nutrition affects menopause and hormones?
Thank you, Emma Dawson, for joining me today. This series is on Menopause. Emma is a nutritional therapist and nutritionist.
World Menopause Day is on 18th October every year.
Emma’s Key Top Tips are:
1) Balance your sugar levels in the bloodstream – snack on nuts, seeds, berries, foods full of nutrition.
2) Eat foods that contain oestrogen – tofu, soy, flaxseeds, lentils, chickpeas, fenugreek.
3) Eat food that support you to detox and process hormones – proteins, B vitamins, broccoli, Kale.
4) Drink 2 litres of liquids per day, and extra if you are going to the gym and sweating. Swap coffee for green tea.
5) Don’t consume too much alcohol.

People who are not coping are sometimes expected to move on or told to ‘get a grip’ or ‘get over it’. Sometimes society may put pressure on us to suppress our feelings or we may feel we can’t talk about emotions. The stigma of poor mental health may cause us to withdraw or cover-up. Sometimes we regret reacting to our emotions. We then live with the impact our reactions have caused and maybe their negative consequences.
