Menopause causes a raft of symptoms such as hot flushes and mood swings, but one nutritional expert says ditching sugary snacks could help alleviate these exhausting signs.
The end of a person's period is called menopause. It's a natural part of ageing, but that doesn't make it easy - menopause comes with symptoms that last for months or years, which also include trouble sleeping, weight gain, and anxiety.
Defined as 12 months without a period, menopause is caused by a shift in hormone levels, particularly a decrease in oestrogen.
