Healthy Eating For The Menopause, By Marilyn Glenville Phd
All women will go through the menopause. However, medical research has proved that many of the symptoms that we associate with the menopause – such as joint pains, mood swings, weight gain and hot flushes – are in many cases peculiar to a Western diet and virtually unknown in countries like Japan, where soya-rich foods are a key part of the diet.
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.
But these recipes are not only good for your body, they will also please your palate. Recipes include Vegetable Tempura, Middle-Eastern Pancakes, exotic Caponata or Jambalaya, and gorgeous Mixed Berry Soufflé Omelette. Good for your health and even better for your appetite, Healthy Eating for the Menopause is invaluable for any family that wants to avoid many of today’s illnesses and to enjoy eating their way to optimum healthy.
