Ease menopause symptoms with diet and weight loss

Menopause

Menopausal women, who lose weight eating a low-fat diet rich in fruits and vegetables, could reduce or eliminate their hot flashes and night sweats.

This option seems a wonderful alternative to long-standing research, linking hormone-replacement therapy to heart disease and breast cancer. 

Fat seems to retain heat, and losing weight helps the body dissipate heat more easily. Dieticians play an important role here, because they can take the guesswork out of creating a healthy lifestyle, and they help motivate and empower women to stay on track. Once again, healthy food options make us happier and healthier.

Why is it so simple? (Menopause July 11th 2012)
