Symptoms of menopause can start months or years in advance, and may continue for months or years after the diagnosis. Symptoms of menopause can vary, but one of the primary causes of the symptoms is loss of estrogen. As estrogen declines, you may experience problems like hot flashes, night sweats, increased anxiety, pain during intercourse and increased need to urinate.<\/p>\n<p>Many women seek bioidentical hormone replacement therapy to curb their symptoms and help them normalize their body. Sometimes making lifestyle changes can help regulate hormones in the body as well. Eating the right foods can help.<\/p>\n<p>Some foods contain compounds called phytoestrogens. These plant-based compounds function much like the estrogen found in humans and animals. Eating estrogen rich foods for menopause can help you restore some levels of estrogen, which can decrease symptoms and reduce risk of certain conditions that can occur when estrogen levels drop.<\/p>\n<h2>Which Foods Contain Phytoestrogens?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Foods that contain phytoestrogens include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Soybeans and edamame<\/li>\n<li>Flax seeds<\/li>\n<li>Dried fruit<\/li>\n<li>Berries<\/li>\n<li>Garlic<\/li>\n<li>Sesame seeds<\/li>\n<li>Broccoli<\/li>\n<li>Peaches<\/li>\n<li>Wheat bran<\/li>\n<li>Cauliflower<\/li>\n<li>Cabbage<\/li>\n<li>Brussels sprouts<\/li>\n<li>Tempeh<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>Basically any recipe that you make that contains these foods can help restore some estrogen to your body. For more estrogen rich foods, talk to your doctor. Your doctor can recommend foods that meet your unique dietary requirements. Below, we&#8217;ve listed a few easy recipes to consider adding to your regular meal rotation.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Which Recipes Go In My Menopause Cookbook?<\/h2>\n<h3><strong><br \/>\nBaked Broccoli and Cauliflower<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Ingredients:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Broccoli &#8211; 1 head<\/li>\n<li>Cauliflower &#8211; 1\/2 head<\/li>\n<li>Garlic &#8211; 3-4 cloves, crushed<\/li>\n<li>Olive oil &#8211; a few tablespoons<\/li>\n<li>Salt and pepper &#8211; 1 pinch<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Avoid fatty meats, caffeine, alcohol and fast or processed foods. Spicy foods can worsen hot flashes, so avoid hot peppers.<\/p>\n<h2>What Are the Best Drinks for Menopause?<\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>It&#8217;s not just foods that can help with menopause, drinks can curb symptoms as well. Caffeine-free green tea strengthens your bone metabolism and decreases risk of bone injuries. Valerian root tea can stop some hot flashes, while ginseng tea can reduce hot flashes and night sweats. Black cohosh root tea reduces vaginal dryness. When choosing a tea, always look for the caffeine-free versions.<\/p>\n<h2>Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Regulates Hormone Changes<\/h2>\n<div>\n<p>Menopause is a major change, and the symptoms cannot be stopped with diet alone.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.navacenter.com\/community\/blogs\/natural-estrogen-replacement-therapy\">Estrogen replacement therapy<\/a>\u00a0can help you control and regulate hormone changes in your body.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.navacenter.com\/services\/services-overview\/bio-identical-hormone-replacement-(bhrt)\">BHRT is reliable<\/a>\u00a0and effective.
