Among them, dietotherapy is a very good method, so how do menopausal women dietotherapy for health? Let's take a look together.
How do menopausal women eat and keep healthy?
1, pay attention to low-fat diet
Because the metabolism of menopausal women will be relatively slow, it is necessary to limit animal fats, such as lard, cream, butter, and foods with high cholesterol, such as egg yolk, brain marrow, and animal offal. If you eat these regularly, the concentration of cholesterol in the blood will increase significantly, which will promote the formation of arteriosclerosis. It is best to eat a low-fat diet such as soybean oil, vegetable oil, corn oil and peanut oil.
2, light diet
Women who enter menopause will have a certain decline in the performance of their organs. For example, the function of digestive organs such as gastrointestinal tract is not as good as before, so it is not suitable for eating greasy and indigestible food. At the same time, menopausal women often have great emotional changes, often fidgety and irritable, and the nervous system is unstable. Therefore, it is not advisable to eat spicy and irritating foods in the diet, otherwise it will easily aggravate discomfort. Therefore, the diet should be light, and you should often eat some fresh green leafy fruits and vegetables to help intestinal digestion.
3. Eat more foods with high calcium content.
After menopause, women's endocrine is prone to disorder and estrogen hormones are reduced, so menopausal women's calcium loss is accelerated, and they are prone to calcium deficiency, fractures, backache and backache. Therefore, menopausal friends can eat more calcium-containing foods, such as sesame sauce, shrimp skin, milk and so on.
4. Suggest a low-sugar diet.
Excessive sugar is very harmful to women. The autonomic nervous activity of menopausal women is unbalanced, and then the metabolism slows down, so eating too much high-sugar food is easy to gain weight and may increase the risk of some diseases, so it is not advisable to eat more high-fat and high-sugar food.
Menopausal women recommend recipes;
