You are not old till you start feeling it from inside, that\u2019s the funda of life today. But women know best how far this one goes! Menopause for that matter, comes with age and can\u2019t be controlled by us, no matter how young we feel at heart! With menopause, comes a train of hormonal changes or rather imbalances! What can you guess about the result ? Weight gain, true. Since we are still young (at least at heart) how can weight gain be accepted? This is totally unacceptable ladies and we need to fight back this weight aging. We have the tips and tricks to maintain weight and overall health even after your menopause strikes!<\/p>\n

Portion Control<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"my-plate\"<\/p>\n

Age reduces metabolism, we have heard that alright. But did you know that your metabolic rate is 20% lower than what you had while you were still young! This itself proves the weight gain. We are ingesting same (or even more) calories but its not burning that much, hence the paunch! Ladies, you\u2019ll now have to keep a tab on your portion sizes. Have small frequent meals to check your metabolism.<\/p>\n

Trending: Healthy Food Trends To Follow In 2016<\/a><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Reduce Fats<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"olive-oil\"<\/p>\n

You have to be firm with your fat intake. Restrict fats to only 25% of daily calories. Be extra cautious to replace your oils with healthier versions like olive or rice bran. Those yummy ice-creams, cookies, cupcakes,..I can\u2019t go on with the list…its too much of a temptation! Sadly they\u2019ll have to be done away with.<\/p>\n

Salt Rationing<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"salt\"<\/p>\n

Salt together with carbs are responsible for water retention. That\u2019s a major reason why you feel bloated. So no more sprinkling salt on your salad. Even cooked dishes will see less of salt. Ladies, its worth the sacrifice, after all a flat belly is at stake. Know what, its gonna lessen your chances to attract BP and heart problems.<\/p>\n

Loading Calcium<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"calcium\"<\/p>\n

Bone density reduces with increasing age. Women are advised to consume 1000mg calcium per day from the age of 30, which increases to 1200mg by age 50. Ladies, you are prone to osteoporosis during this phase of hormonal change and thus you are all the more needy. So darlings, step up your dairy intake and live healthy!<\/p>\n

More of Fish<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"fish\"<\/p>\n

Being a lean source of protein, fish is good for your heart. Try to introduce 2 portions of fish per week. But go for the baked or grilled varieties over fried ones to avoid excess calories. You might wanna consult your doctor for guidance over fish oil supplements that reduce risk of breast cancer.<\/p>\n

Fiber Girl<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"fiber\"<\/p>\n

Increase high fiber foods in your diet like brown rice, bran, barley, whole wheat, etc. You need 21g fiber daily so don\u2019t restrict yourself to only these. Include fruits and veggies, rich in micro-nutrients. Prefer the ones with deeper color like beetroot, spinach, carrot and berries. Follow the motto – go fibrous, go fit!<\/p>\n

Soy Foods<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"soy_milk_tofu\"<\/p>\n

Many of us have heard that soy foods increase our vulnerability towards breast cancer, but research cannot back this up. Rather it is found that soy supplements trigger tumor cells whereas the natural soy foods are safe. They also help to deal with minor hot flashes, which are a menace during this stage. So ladies grab some soy milk and tofu right away!<\/p>\n

Remain Sober<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"alcohol\"<\/p>\n

Alcohol as everyone knows is high on calorific value but red wine is saved from this shady image. But in case of women already going through a tough time, its best to avoid alcohol as it may increase hot flashes, a headache for us all! Another issue here is our vulnerability towards breast cancer that can be triggered by alcohol all the more. Be safe ladies!<\/p>\n
