4 Foods That Help With Menopause - Top Recommendations
I was constantly dealing with insomnia, weight gain, night sweats, joint pain… once I turned 50.
I asked everyone around me for help, read lots of articles on menopause, tried everything the doctors recommended.
Still, nothing was working.
I was exhausted and discouraged because I couldn't believe there was nothing that could help me.
And I have slowly come to accept that this was how my life was going to be like”

Roxanna is not alone…
According to most doctors, women usually experience menopause symptoms for at least 7-9 years.
Way too long to just “grin and bear” it.
Without question, menopause can be a long, bumpy ride that puts our daily comfort, relationships, intimacy and health to the test for years.
So if you've ever felt insecure, self-conscious, or just plain frustrated with your menopause symptoms or your body...
Just know that there's thousands of us just like you going through the same struggles, the same embarrassment, and the same emotional pain.
That’s why in this article, we have listed down the top 4 menopause superfoods that you need to know about as you make your way through this life transition.
Superfood #1: Fenugreek
Fenugreek is a plant native to western Asia and northern Africa that has been used as a culinary spice and natural remedy for centuries.
It is a natural alternative to prescription based menopausal treatments/hormone therapy.
It has the ability to treat your menopausal symptoms without resulting in some of the more harmful side effects of hormone medications.
It is thought to work by mimicking the hormone estrogen. This can help to reduce hot flashes, night sweats, and vaginal dryness which is caused by estrogen deficiency.
According to a double blind clinical study, participants who took fenugreek went from an average of 3 to 5 hot flashes daily down to 1 to 2 per day, and severity of menopause-related mood and physical symptoms reduced by about half.

Superfood #2: Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha is a popular powerhouse of a superfood that aids in relieving most of the menopausal symptoms.
It is a known adaptogen - this means that the herb adapts to your body’s external and internal stresses and improves one’s physical and mental health.
However, not all Ashwagandha is created equal.
Only KSM-66 Ashwagandha, a branded, full-spectrum extract, is the most effective in helping with menopause symptoms.
.In 24 double blind, randomized placebo controlled clinical trials KSM-66 Ashwagandha has been clinically proven to:
Reduce food cravings, and enhance quality of sleep.
Improves cognitive behavior and is found to be helpful in getting rid of mental fatigue and to improve overall mood and focus.
Improves sensual arousal in menopausal women, boosting their libido and overall improving their sexual life.

Superfood #3: Black Cohosh
Black Cohosh is a herb native to North America, as an herbal remedy, it is used for hot flashes, night sweats, and other menopause symptoms.
In one study in 80 menopausal women who were experiencing hot flashes, those who supplemented with 20 mg of black cohosh daily for 8 weeks reported significantly fewer and less severe hot flashes than before they started the supplement.

Superfood #4: Turmeric
During the menopause, oestrogen levels decrease, which can cause joint pain and stiffness in some women.
Hence, turmeric is a great superfood for menopause as it contains curcumin, which helps to reduce inflammation within the body.
Additionally, as turmeric is a phytoestrogen (a plant source of oestrogen), it may be able to help balance hormone levels, thus, reducing menopause symptoms.
