60 seconds in menopause video transcript:
What are the best foods for perimenopause and menopause? Remember, your nutritional needs go sky-high at this point, so you need a really good, varied diet to get all the nutrients that your body needs to help you through this time.
So, you're looking at protein with every meal, so you could look at your meat, dairy, and fish. If you're vegetarian or vegan, you can add in a plant-based protein powder every day.
And loads of different vegetables. Try and eat a rainbow every day. That will give you a great mix of different ones.
Complex carbohydrates such as your brown rice, your brown spaghetti (pasta). Look at whole wheat, look at whole grains.
And, remember those healthy fats because you need those to help make your hormones. So, it would be things like organic extra virgin olive oil, and also your coconut fat.
Adding all of this together should certainly help you along your way.
