It’s always a good idea to eat a healthy diet, but for women who are peri and post menopause, a healthy diet becomes even more essential. Most women are concerned about hot flashes and of course weight gain, both of which are unfortunately all too common, but you should also know, the risk for diseases like osteoporosis, breast cancer and heart disease also increases after menopause. The good news is that there are steps you can take to (hopefully) glide through menopause, and reduce your risk of all of these things.
We're coming to the end of National Women's Health Week, but no matter what week it is, these tips will serve all women well!
Do you have any menopause diet tips to share?
Eat well!
