Menopause: we change the food

Some doctors consider that during the period from 40 to 50 years the woman inevitably gathers every year to kilogram of weight. But there are also good news – there was a number of the experts claiming that the increase in weight at a menopause is not obligatory at all. And if you gain kilograms – that is not hormones, and decrease of the activity and improper feeding at all.

Really, we forget that the organism is left to stand too long, and we continue to eat as got used. Food and habits should be reconsidered too. And here – the simple principles:

Fish – the main product
Include in a diet, at least, two portions of fish a week. It is desirable that it were the grades containing healthy fats, for example, a salmon and a trout. If fish not always manages to be found, after all not all live near good supermarkets, then use additives with cod-liver oil. Perhaps, and refined raby fat as from the childhood, it is still possible to buy in drugstores. Fat fish helps to prevent a breast cancer and risks of heart diseases.

Weight – under strict control
Women with an excess weight transfer menopause symptoms more difficult. Such troubles as "inflows" at thin pass almost imperceptibly, unlike fatties. Therefore try to set to yourself the object to lose weight a little. For this purpose I do not urge to starve, better to spend the cleaning days and to move more. Ridiculously, but one my age friend got a job for this purpose the courier. Work is low-skill, not prestigious, but it worked not for professional ambitions, and for weight loss. The benefit money at it was always earned by the husband. And, you know, lost weight! It I to the fact that many means are good, up to work change, of course, if finance not "sings romances".

Calcium – one more our friend
After 50 years it is worth raising daily norm of consumption of calcium from 1000 mg a day to 1200 mg, - draw the doctor. The less estrogen – the more calcium is necessary for our bones. But how many it is 1200 mg of calcium? A cup of skim milk + a cup of coffee with milk + small packing of yogurt is 1100 mg of calcium. That is, still something is necessary in addition to cover 1200 mg necessary to us. At the same time dairy products buy fat-free. In them as much calcium, but there are less fats and calories.

Any abdominal distension
Practically all women in the period of a menopause have swelling. The reasons of it are not found out yet by scientists, however the role of fluctuation of hormonal level is not denied. To avoid these unpleasant manifestations, reduce amount of the consumed salt and also the processed carbohydrates, - they detain water in an organism. Eat whole-grain bread, vegetables and fruit. But such most useful things as apples and cabbage of broccoli – some of the most gas-forming, and it is impossible to cancel them in any way. In this case help the organism to fight against accumulation of gases some medicines (for example, the tablets Espumizan).

More accurately with alcohol
In spite of the fact that red wine – excellent anti-age a product at the expense of the high content of antioxidants and resveratrol, you should not stake on alcohol. Keep in mind that alcoholic beverages, and in particular red wine, stimulate "inflows". Besides, do not forget about the high caloric content of alcohol.

Soy!
Attention, attention! I remember one of Elena Malysheva's transfers where she extolled soy as a neobkhodimeyshy product for women in the period of a menopause. It was a few years ago. And here now and it, and other experts, reduced the enthusiasm concerning soy products. They still recommend soy, but only in moderate quantities, and that is why. On the one hand, soy contains vegetable estrogen, and it is very good for women who promptly begin to lose women's hormones. Soy products, such as tofu, soy nutlets and soy milk, can give relief from "inflows". But there are also fears. The main are that soy can stimulate growth in a large number estrogen - sensitive tumors (the breast cancer belongs to them). So – we are not fond!

We have herbal tea with ice
To begin the day with a cup of warm tea – not the best idea in the period of a menopause. Now it is worth changing this habit. Hot drinks cause "inflows", caffeine also stimulates these symptoms. Therefore let's try to drink more cool drinks without caffeine, and to it it is possible to carry grass or berry ice teas, coffee without caffeine with ice.

We reduce caloric content
And this basic rule when choosing dishes. Try for each dish to find low-calorie option in the diet. It will be easier for you to keep weight under control without physical expenses. A diet basis – products with the low content of fat, carbohydrates, vegetables, fruit, grain.

I wish health, youth and inflows, but only inflows of cheerfulness and good mood!
