Your menopause needn?t be characterised by the unpleasant symptoms often associated with it - from weight gain to hot flushes. By gaining an understanding of how diet and lifestyle affect women, you can take action and eat your way to optimum health. In Healthy Eating for the Menopause, Marilyn Glenville explains how your diet can work as a natural alternative to hormone replacement therapy and give you results far superior to any drug. Devising recipes rich in the three beneficial food groups - phytoestrogens, essential fatty acids and antioxidants, which are contained naturally in many everyday ingredients - Marilyn Glenville and Lewis Esson have created menus for all the meals in the day. Guaranteeing no risks and no side effects, these recipes will not only help to reduce and even eliminate certain symptoms, but also guard against osteoporosis, heart disease and other illnesses.
