Nutrition and Menopause
As we now know our pesky hormones are the major disruptor to our bodies and minds during the menopause and eating well and correctly has never been more important.
Diet
A healthy diet is crucial to a healthy hormonal balance.
When we do not have enough protein, healthy fats, or nutrients in our diet, it affects the production of hormones.
A diet high in processed foods, refined carbs, and sugars puts stress on your system. Cortisol is released, resulting in fat storage mostly around the middle. It also leads to mood swings, brain fog, and energy slumps.
The body also overproduces insulin, which causes you to store more fat and increase your risk of diabetes and heart disease.
Unhealthy foods also prevent the thyroid from getting the nutrients it needs to work effectively. Your metabolism slows down, becomes sluggish, and goes into fat-storing mode.
