Cutting one thing from your diet could help ease menopause symptoms, according to a nutritional expert. Sue Camp, a registered nutritional therapist and functional medicine practitioner, says ditching sugary snacks could be key in helping women to keep symptoms at bay.
Sue, resident hormones expert for at-home health test provider Omnos, said: “People generally snack on carbohydrate-based foods which can cause a spike in blood sugar levels. With a menopausal drop in oestrogen, this can impact metabolism, fat distribution and the impact of insulin.”
The start of menopause is defined as the cessation of a woman’s period for a year due to a shift in hormone levels, particularly a decrease in oestrogen. It can come with a raft of symptoms including weight gain, anxiety, sleep problems, mood changes and hot flushes.
