Eat almonds every day for nutritional support during menopause

Menopause can be a tough time for women. The end of the menstrual phase in a women's life means a lot of physical as well as mental changes. The menopausal phase involves several changes in one's hormones. This can lead to mood swings, hot flashes, etc. This usually occurs between the ages of 48 and 52 but there are also cases of early menopause. The phase can be a difficult one as women try to cope with the transformation of their bodies. But, nutritionist Lovneet Batra's advice can help. She has suggested a list of superfoods that are beneficial for a woman's health during the menopause phase.

Soy has proven to be a valuable asset for menopausal women. Soy is a phytoestrogen—plant-based compound acting as weak estrogens in the body—which are linked to reduced menopause symptoms and healthier bones.

Lentils, the superfood, attributes its richness to a nutrient known as isoflavone that aids in the regulation of hormones and can even help with menopause symptoms.
