Let's get straight to the point, menopause, a word that sounds a little nervous, is actually a natural stage in our lives. Let's be honest, those annoying little glitches that come with it — hot flashes, mood swings, poor sleep, ......I almost thought I had some weird disease! But when I started digging deeper and trying to regulate my body through food, it all became less intimidating.
I remember one time, I got together with a few good sisters to complain about all the troubles that menopause brought us. Just as we were preparing to be annihilated and surrender to the relentless torment of menopause, I came across an article on the Internet about diet therapy. I thought, since medical supplements are such a headache, why not try to help yourself in the most natural way – food? Since then, my kitchen has become my little laboratory.
First, let's talk about soy products. Who would have thought that those ordinary-looking soybeans and tofu would become my secret to menopause**? The isoflavones in soybeans are simply estrogens in nature. Whenever I feel like I'm going to be struck down by the symptoms of menopause, I make a bowl of smooth and delicate tofu brain, seasoned with some vivid spices – soy sauce, vinegar, and a little bit of oil chili. Really, after eating, the whole person will feel much better.
Then there are leafy greens, especially spinach. I know, it sounds like a scene in Popeye, but the iron and vitamin C in spinach can really help our bodies make estrogen better. I will make a pot of spinach pork liver soup, the iron of pork liver and the nutrition of spinach can not only nourish people's blood, but also relieve the discomfort of menopause to some extent.
Finally, don't forget nuts, especially walnuts and peanuts. The omega-3 fatty acids in these two things are very helpful for keeping your heart healthy and relieving mood swings. I would make some walnut syrup, just put them in a blender with a little rock sugar and a little water to make a drink that is both nutritious and delicious. Every time I drink it, I feel as if I'm a few years younger again!
I know that for many people, menopause can seem like an unavoidable nightmare. But I would say that it can also be an opportunity for us to rediscover our bodies. By adjusting our diet, we can not only alleviate the discomfort that may come with this phase, but also be healthier and more energetic.
Of course, in addition to diet, it is also very important to maintain a positive attitude towards life and moderate exercise. Menopause does not mean the end of life, but rather a new beginning. It reminds us to be more appreciative and aware of our bodies, and to take care of ourselves in a more natural and healthy way.
So, dear sisters, if you are also going through the challenges that menopause brings, you may want to try adjusting your diet. It may be a little difficult at first, but trust me, once you find a recipe that works for you, you will find that life can still be good. And, don't forget to share your stories and experiences, because you never know, your sharing could be a lifesaver for others.
