Menopause And Diet

Many women have found that special menopause diets can minimize the symptoms of menopause and make the change of life transition much easier and smoother. Menopause diets are a good alternative to prescribed medication and are good for those who worry about adverse side effects. Most all gynecologists recommend that women who are in their pre-menopause stages adopt a menopause diet and stay on it throughout the transition to reduce stress, reduce symptoms, and to ensure good health.

Black cohosh is one highly recommended herb to add to a menopause diet. Gynecologists urge that women begin using black cohosh for treatment of hot flashes. This herb is quite powerful and shouldn’t be used any longer than six months. If used any longer than this, although there is no exact effects determined, there could be unknown side effects.

Japanese women intake a greater amount of soy in their everyday diet, and they are only 30% as likely to complain of menopause symptoms as women in the United States and other parts of the world. Soy includes estrogen like substances that are often used in menopause diets to help with hot flashes. The best way to take soy is through soymilk or tofu.

There are some things that, unfortunately, are a large part of most everyone’s diet and are hard habits to break. However, these foods have adverse effects and can make menopause symptoms worse. Some of these are tea, alcohol, coffee, spicy food, soft drinks (with caffeine), and smoking. Try and keep high-calorie, sweet junk food to a minimum and eat as little of these as possible.

The main food experts recommend for menopause diets are fruits and vegetables, basically just eating healthy. Boost your intake of fruits such as melons, oranges, and lemons. Potassium, found in bananas, helps with women who retain water. Good vegetables are dark leafy vegetables like collard greens, spinach, cabbage, broccoli, peppers, and tomatoes. Regular fiber intake is also a healthy part of menopause dieting.

Instead of fried foods, try and stick to food that is broiled or baked. Instead of white bread and white rice eat more whole grains, like oats, rye bread, and brown rice. Try not to eat as many regular potatoes, but rather opt for sweet potatoes or pasta. Other good things to add to your everyday diet include, oily fish like mackerel or salmon, nuts, seeds, dried fruit, and unprocessed oils for cooking. Other foods that are not so conventional but are recommended are different types of seaweed (ask at your local health food store) like Nori, Kombu, Arame, and Wakame.

A well balanced, nutritious, healthy diet will help reduce symptoms and achieve optimum health in women. The key is to incorporate as many natural foods into your menopause diet as possible.

Planning it Right: Spacing Revised.

Spacing – The Key to Better Health for You and Your Family

Today’s urban woman is increasingly taking charge of her own destiny. She is competent in her workplace and runs her home with efficiency. The week goes by in a whirl of activity encompassing work- both inside and outside the home- entertainment, kids and the hundred and one things necessary to keep everything running smoothly. Homemakers, too have hectic schedules, balancing the needs of her husband, children, her own needs, as well as those of other household members such as elderly parents-in-law. Joint families create further demands on women’s lives and schedules.

Despite this whirlwind of activity, one area that often gets neglected in all this frantic activity is a visit to a trusted gynecologist. A woman has to begin taking decisions with regard to her reproductive health right from the start of her marital life. She and her partner need to carefully consider their desired family size. If several children are desired then adequate attention should be given to spacing methods that best fit her health needs and lifestyle. Once the family is complete, she and her husband should then consider adopting a method of contraception that is safe, effective and hassle free for years to come. Thus, it is important to have the right information on the myriad of contraceptive choices.

Increasingly various contraceptive options are available to couples during their reproductive years. Unfortunately, however, few couples are aware of their options and lack resources to gain such information. This is where the role of your gynecologist becomes crucial. He/she is the best person to consult for advice on the various methods, whether they would suit your body and your lifestyle and the pros and cons of each method, in order to make a well-informed decision.

There are many facts regarding contraception that you need to keep in mind before making a choice:

First, it is important to separate fact from myth! Your physician is a wealth of information concerning the most up-to-date developments in family planning.

Delaying first pregnancy and adequate spacing (ideally 3-5 years) is essential for the physical and mental health, development and wellbeing of you and your child.

Every person is different! Accordingly, every woman responds differently to every method of contraception.

Ease of use, discretion and convenience all differ for each method; hence, it is essential to find a method most suitable to your body and your way of life. For example, not all methods are appropriate for breastfeeding, and all are effective for different lengths of time.

Health professionals are great resources for accurate, unbiased information. Nonetheless, couples should take charge of contraceptive decisions and therefore consult several sources of information, including the Internet. Finally, it is important for both partners to reach a consensus about this crucial decision that affects the health and wellbeing of the entire family.
