1. Calories in the red

If you have excess weight, try to start get­ting rid of it as spar­ing­ly as pos­si­ble. Going on strict diets and starv­ing, of course, is not worth it (this can only exac­er­bate the prob­lem), but giv­ing up sweet, fat­ty foods, pas­tries and oth­er quick­ly digestible car­bo­hy­drates is quite with­in your pow­er.

2. Eat more often but less

Frac­tion­al nutri­tion is a uni­ver­sal rec­om­men­da­tion for those who want to be healthy. How­ev­er, dur­ing menopause, it is espe­cial­ly rel­e­vant. Try to reduce the amount of serv­ings (by about 2/3 or even half), but eat more often — up to 5–6 times a day. Hearty meals are best eat­en in the morn­ing so that the body has time to absorb them and burn calo­ries.

3. More fish

Fish and seafood are rich in use­ful omega‑3 and omega‑6 polyun­sat­u­rat­ed fat­ty acids, which pro­tect us from ath­er­o­scle­ro­sis. Plus, it’s an excel­lent source of pro­tein. Choose low-fat vari­eties: perch, pike perch, cod, pike. It is bet­ter to cook fish for a cou­ple or bake.

4. Replenish calcium deficiency

Dur­ing menopause, a wom­an’s body decreas­es the pro­duc­tion of the female hor­mone estro­gen, which leads to cal­ci­um leach­ing. And this leads to brit­tle bones. Suf­fi­cient con­sump­tion of dairy prod­ucts, cheese, sea fish with soft bones, sesame seeds will help to avoid such trou­bles.

5. Vegetables and fruits every day

They con­tain use­ful vit­a­mins and min­er­als that the body needs so much. In addi­tion, they con­tain a large amount of fiber, which cleans­es our body from the inside. Every day you need to eat at least 500 g of fresh veg­eta­bles and fruits.
