During perimenopause, it's essential to focus on foods that support hormone balance, bone health, and overall well-being. Here are some foods to consider incorporating into your diet:
- Healthy Fats: Include sources of healthy fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil to support brain health.
- Omega-3 Rich Foods: Fatty fish like salmon, chia seeds, and flaxseeds are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help combat skin dryness that can come along during the aging process.
- Calcium-Rich Foods: Incorporate dairy products (if tolerated), fortified plant-based milk, leafy greens, and tofu into your diet to support bone health.
- Fiber: Opt for fiber-rich foods like whole grains, legumes, fruits, and vegetables to support digestive health.*
- Phytoestrogenic Foods: Foods like soybeans, tofu, flaxseeds, and lentils contain phytoestrogens, which may help alleviate some symptoms of hormone fluctuations during perimenopause.
- Lean Protein: Include sources of lean protein such as poultry, fish, beans, and lentils to support muscle mass and keep you feeling full and satisfied.
- Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and support overall health
