Diet plays an important role in relieving you of some of the symptoms of menopause. If you smoke, drink too much alcohol, or eat spicy foods, it could trigger hot flashes and night sweats. So it would be best if you were watchful of that. Moreover, in menopause, your ovaries stop making estrogen. This results in deficient levels of the hormone. So estrogen may help to a great extent. For better results, you could add cruciferous vegetables, fruits, chickpeas, lentils, flaxseed, and soybeans to your diet.
