Countless social prejudices and physical vulnerabilities can take a toll on their lives. One such health issue specific to women is menopause. It is not a disease but a health condition that all women experience sometime after the age of 50 (for some it might occur in their 40s, evens 30s). Simply put it is the transition phase, when a woman ceases to menstruate. This transition brings about many bodily as well as hormonal changes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The transitional phase may include the following symptoms:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Irregular periods<\/li>\n<li>Hot flashes<\/li>\n<li>Mood swings<\/li>\n<li>Vaginal irritations<\/li>\n<li>Sleep problems<br \/>\n&#8230;And Weight Gain!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Post menopause, woman\u2019s body is under heightened risk of the following:<\/li>\n<li>Heart and Cardiovascular Diseases<\/li>\n<li>Osteoporosis<\/li>\n<li>Decreased Libido<br \/>\n&#8230;And once again, continued Weight Gain!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Thus adopting a healthy <a href=\"http:\/\/www.idietitian.in\/lose-weight-with-menopausal-diet\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>diet plan for menopaus<\/strong>e<\/a> becomes an absolute necessity. Making dietary changes can go a long way in improving menopausal symptoms and reducing the resulting health risks. A healthy balanced diet can help improved the slowed metabolism in menopausal women which is the main reason behind continuous weight gain.<\/p>\n<p>Following are the foods that should be included in your menopausal diet:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Fish<\/strong> : a rich source of Omega-3 fatty acids, fish helps reduce the risk of heart diseases.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Dairy Products<\/strong>: As estrogen levels decrease, women are prone to a condition called Osteoporosis, in which the bones become weak and brittle. Thus the daily requirement of calcium intake increases in menopausal women.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Soy Foods<\/strong>: Eating soy foods like soy milk, nuts or tofu will give you relief from hot flashes.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Herbal Iced-Tea<\/strong>: prevention is better than cure, it is therefore advised to stop having hot beverages as they may set off hot flashes. Caffeine adds to the trouble. Hence, herbal iced-tea could be a good choice.<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Fresh leafy Vegetables and Fruits<\/strong>: After menopause belly fat accumulation is a problem observed in majority of women. A diet consisting of fresh plant products can limit high calorie food intake, and hence reduce body fat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>No Sugar<\/strong>: Cutting on the sweets and cakes, can help tremendously in weight control and reduction. Reason? Isn\u2019t it obvious enough- HIGH CALORIES.\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">While these inclusions may help you a little in combating menopausal trouble, nothing can get you best results than consulting an expert nutritionist.
