You are what you eat! Have you heard this saying before? Although it is not literally correct , because how can eating a carrot make you a carrot as any four year old would point out to you, the foods you eat certainly have an impact on your health and well-being.
This is true for women in the peri-menopausal and post-menopausal time of life. For those going through hot flushes, spicy foods or even hot tea and coffee may make the flushes more intense or increase frequency. Some women experience migraines for the first time or for sufferers the frequency and intensity may increase. Food may often be a trigger for these. Chocolate is a trigger for some people, yet others don’t experience the same effects and are able to get benefit from eating dark chocolate.
Working your way through the minefield of which foods to eat during menopause to gain optimal benefit can be difficult. Menopause is a natural process and shouldn’t be painful, don’t suffer alone. At Retree Wellness we offer assistance via our blog posts to give you generalised information and invite you to book an appointment where we can guide you on your journey through Menopause.
