What should women eat when they suffer from menopausal syndrome?

After suffering from menopausal syndrome, women generally suffer great physical and psychological trauma, and often need timely treatment. If you want to completely relieve menopausal symptoms, you should make auxiliary adjustments in terms of diet and other aspects. So for female patients, what foods should you eat regularly to help? Let’s read the article below to find out.

1. Adequate protein: As the gonads degenerate during menopause, other tissues and organs also gradually degenerate. Therefore, high-quality protein should be selected in the diet, such as milk, eggs, lean meat, fish, poultry and soy products.

2. Low-fat diet: limit animal fats such as lard, cream, butter, etc. and foods high in cholesterol such as egg yolks, brain marrow, animal offal, etc. Because the saturated fatty acids contained in these foods can significantly increase the cholesterol concentration in the blood, thereby promoting the formation of arteriosclerosis. It is best to eat vegetable oils, such as corn oil, soybean oil, peanut oil, etc.

3. Eat more fresh green vegetables and fruits: especially those rich in carotene, inorganic salts and fiber, such as Chinese cabbage, celery, jujube, hawthorn, etc., which can increase the toughness of blood vessels, promote the elimination of blood cholesterol, and prevent atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease.

4. Choose foods rich in calcium: Milk and soy products are good sources of calcium. Other foods high in calcium include: dried shrimp skin, kelp, seaweed, crispy fish, oysters, seaweed, sesame paste, etc., which can prevent osteoporosis.

5. Eat more foods rich in vitamin B1: such as lean animal meat, millet, beans, etc., which are beneficial for protecting the nervous system and alleviating the symptoms of menopausal syndrome.

After reading the above article, all female patients should have a basic understanding of what types of food are suitable for them, so they can arrange their future diet according to the editor's suggestions. However, the effect of diet therapy usually requires long-term persistence to be exerted, which requires women to consume it for a longer period of time.
