Hello, Your question is really good. I would advise you food choices according to common menopausal symptoms women go through to ease your menopausal phase. To avoid hot flushes, avoid coffee, chocolates, alcohol and spicy food, specially at night. To avoid weight gain, watch your fat intake and take more brown grains, wholemeal pasta, bread and rice. To enrich calcium in bones, take foods with more calcium, phosphorus, Vitamin D and K like processed foods, frizzy drinks etc. Tiredness can make you crave for more sugar but trick the craving by choosing fruits and nuts. Dry skin can be helped with nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and almonds. Drink lots of water and keep skin hydrated. More proteins from cottage cheese and oats will keep depression and irritability at bay. Restrict on excess sodium and caffeine while taking more soya milk and flour, tofu, green beans and celery. I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Take care. Best, Dr. Viraj Shah
