Even the mildest phases of menopause are still nothing to sneeze at. Menopause marks a huge shift in a woman’s life. It has both physical and emotional implications. After going through menopause, a woman is no longer fertile, so that chapter of her life is closed. Even if a woman never wanted children, or already had all the children she wanted, she can still be left feeling a little…shocked. So your body just closes up shop? It decides that you’re all done? And you can no longer do one of the most impactful things the female body does? Men never need to think of their ability to reproduce as finite because, they can just keep shooting out their DNA until the very end. So, between all of the emotional and physical ups and downs, you don’t want to make things tougher by eating a diet that heightens symptoms. Here are foods to eat and avoid during menopause.
