32 foods to eat before menopause

A selection of foods to eat before menopause, including lentil soup, quinoa, and chai tea.

Having a selection of the best foods to eat before menopause in your diet can help alleviate common symptoms and long-term effects, such as hot flushes, bone and muscle mass loss, and sleep problems. 

Menopause is considered to be the day exactly one year after your last period, so while we use the word to refer to the entire time period where levels of oestrogen and progesterone are in decline, it's actually just a day. Perimenopause is the period leading up to menopause, typically starting between 45 and 55 years of age, and it comes with many symptoms that can be lessened by various lifestyle changes.
