The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has shared three simple dietary changes that can help ease menopause symptoms, based on the WAVS study. The study found that a plant-based diet, low fat intake, and whole soybeans reduced moderate to severe hot flashes by 84 percent. Following a vegan diet, limiting oils, and adding whole soybeans to your meals can have a significant impact on menopausal symptoms.
Dr. Neal Barnard suggests starting with a plant-based diet, limiting oils to reduce fat intake, and incorporating whole soybeans into your meals. This approach not only helps with menopause symptoms but also supports heart health, reduces the risk of breast cancer, and lowers the chances of cognitive decline. The potential benefits of these diet changes extend beyond menopause, making it a worthwhile consideration for women experiencing symptoms.
