The secret of good health during the menopause and beyond is to eat as naturally as possible. Make the changes one step at a time. You will be surprised how easy it is to adapt, generally giving you a much healthier body. Stimulants can bring on a hot flush and when the blood sugar level drops too low, adrenaline is released which has a dissolving effect on the bones. Tea and coffee also deprive our bodies of vital nutrients and trace elements by blocking their uptake.
Coffee contains substances.
By cutting out coffee many women have found relief from tender, lumpy breasts. Reduce your intake of dairy products and red meat. Excess saturated fats have been suspected in breast cancer. Red meat worsens oestrogen deficiency, it is also high in phosphates and so can increase the loss of calcium from the bones, raising the risk of osteoporosis. Ensure your diet contains essential fatty acids found in nuts, seeds, oils and oily fish.
