Alleviate Your Menopause Symptoms: The Menopause Diet

Vegetables are always great to have in your diet, but especially during menopause. That’s because they are high in fiber and low in calorie. As you age, your calorie needs decrease. So, eating foods that are low in calories, like vegetables, will fill you up and reduce weight gain.
When you’re having a salad, try to add kale, brussel sprouts, or broccoli. They have proven to even out your estrogen fluctuations during menopause.
Tea is Your Friend
Try to drink 2 or 3 cups of tea a day. Peppermint tea specifically can help balance your insulin levels. When you are going through menopause, insulin levels tend to be sensitive, and high spikes can lead to weight gain. Additionally, sage tea has proven to help reduce hot flashes.
Add Protein
Protein has also been shown to balance your blood sugar. Eggs, quinoa and meats/fish are just a few great sources of protein. Additionally, it’s easy to get protein in your on the go snacks. Try snacking on protein bars or nuts and seeds that are high in protein.
Take a Daily Vitamin
It’s important to get all the essentials, like calcium, and vitamin D & B. While you can find them in the foods you eat, many women struggle to get enough through their diets. That’s why we here at BINTO include these, and more, in our daily vitamin. Plus you get a probiotic for gut and vaginal health, non-toxic feminine care products and more when you get one of our custom menopause kits!
