In
the Ayurvedic tradition (medical practice of India), doctors report that
if a woman reaching this stage already has an imbalance often caused by a
diet of fast food, or eating foods with chemicals and preservatives
causing an accumulation of digestive impurities, or if stress is a daily
experience, she is likely to report more symptoms at this stage in life.
What
are some of the things a woman can do to treat her most prevalent and
disturbing symptoms?
Diet is a good place to start. If you have hot flashes and mood swings,
avoid spicy foods such as chili, cayenne and black mustard seed, vinegar,
salty and sour foods. Instead, go for bitter, astringent and sweet foods
including vegetables, rice, milk, wheat and pasta, fruit (especially pears
and plums), and spices such as cinnamon, coriander, cardamom, fennel and
cumin seed.
If you are experiencing symptoms such as memory loss or vaginal dryness,
eat cooked, warm foods that are low in fat. Include sweet, sour and salty
with a breakfast of cooked apples, prunes and figs to cleanse the
digestive system. Under all circumstances, avoid packaged, processed,
frozen, and canned foods including leftovers.
Do eat organic when possible and foods that are cooked fresh on a daily
basis. The bulk of your diet should be whole grains, fresh fruit,
vegetables and legumes.
Don't eat meat, cheese, yogurt and frozen deserts. Don't skip meals and
eat your main meal at noon, and if possible, try to take your meals at the
same time each day so your body can count on the consistency.
Asians consume up to 6 servings of soy foods a day, and as a result, they
report a significantly lower rate of menopausal discomfort. There are
currently plenty of soy products on the market, but to consume the
equivalent of 6 cups of soymilk (and its supplement called isoflavones) is
difficult and some women find the taste of soy to be "chalky"
and somewhat unpleasant. There is, however, a source where you can select

Other things you can do to get menopause relief from its uncomfortable
symptoms include mild, consistent exercise as well as other information
