Healthy Eating For The Menopause

All women will go through the menopause. However, medical research has proved that many of the symptoms that we associate with the menopause - such as joint pains, mood swings, weight gain and hot flushes - are in many cases peculiar to a western diet and virtually unknown in countries like Japan, where soya-rich foods are a key part of the diet and menopausal symptoms almost unknown.

In 'Healthy Eating For The Menopause', Marilyn Glenville explains how your diet can work as a natural alternative to hormone replacement therapy and give you results far superior to any drug. Devising recipes rich in the three beneficial food groups - phytoestrogens, essential fatty acids and antioxidants which are contained naturally in many everyday ingredients - Marilyn and Lewis have created menus for all the meals in the day. Guaranteeing no risks and no side effects, these recipes will not only help you to reduce and even eliminate certain symptoms, but also guard against osteoporosis and other illnesses.
