Dietary Guidelines For Menopause
What you eat influences how you feel on a daily basis and also lays the foundation for your health in the postmenopausal years. Researchers are finding that specific foods have a measurable effect on hormone levels, particularly foods that are rich in phytoestrogens. Phytoestrogens are plant compounds with mild estrogenic properties. Although phytoestrogens are estimated as being 50 times weaker than estrogen, they are helpful for balancing conditions of both estrogen excess or deficiency. Because they are similar to the hormones in your body, phytoestrogens bind to receptor sites in the body that estrogen normally occupies. If you are suffering from the effects of too much estrogen (which is the cause of many menopausal com­plaints such as hot flashes), phytoestrogens help to lower your blood levels of estrogen. If, on the other hand, you have too little estrogen (which contributes to osteoporosis), phytoestrogens provide some estrogenic activity and help to protect against bone loss.
