60 seconds in menopause video transcript:
What's the best diet in perimenopause? Well, it's the one you can stick to easily because that's going to have the most lasting impact. Look at small, easy-to-manage changes and do everything bit by bit rather than trying to change everything at the same time or all of a sudden. The secret is building up her repertoire of positive habits rather than indulging in sort of a shame spiral.
Try boiled egg for breakfast instead of processed cereal or make a baked potato with chilli beans instead of chucking a pizza into the oven. More good quality lean protein is going to give you minerals and building blocks for building strong muscles and bones and nails and hair. And, any fibre and vegetables that help strengthen gut function will also add more vitamins to the diet.
Work in good things that are eventually going to squeeze out some of the things you know aren't helping the mood or the energy. So, things like sugary junk (foods) and alcohol.
