Publisher's Synopsis
The symptoms of the menopause vary considerably from one person to the next, but it is undeniable that the biological and psychological changes we all have to go through are not pleasant neither are they easy to ignore. The menopause is a natural part of a woman's life, but it is also a signal that our bodies are changing. While it affects every woman differently, there is something that we all share - the menopause is a difficult time in our lives and we feel emotionally and physically on edge.It affects our energy levels, mood, sex drive, and memory, as well as our heart and bones. Another equally distressing symptom of this difficult time in a woman's life is changes in digestion. When oestrogen levels drop and the effect of progesterone becomes more dominant we experience indigestion, heartburn, bloating, gas, constipation, and even gallstones. We also gain weight, especially around our bellies, and have difficulty losing it. Eating certain foods and avoiding some others can reduce some of the symptoms and make the menopause a lot more bearable. This Menopause diet cookbook offers different diet recipes that will help you prevent unpleasant menopausal symptoms as well as post-menopausal health problems, help you reclaim control over your changing body both now and in the future.
