Menopausal women may experience ailments associated with that stage of their lives. But with the right exercise, diet, and the proper management strategies, they can look forward to menopause as a welcome change.
Among the many healthy foods out there, soy offers multi-dimensional benefits. Aside from containing more protein than milk without saturated fat or cholesterol, soy is considered a complete protein because it has all eight essential amino acids. It's actually a healthy source of nutrition for anybody. But more than that, soy alleviates some of the ailments associated with menopause.
In Japan, where soy consumption is high, women have minimal menopause problems and only about 16 percent of Western rates of breast cancer. Clinical studies show significant reduction in pre- and post-menopausal breast cancers in women eating high amounts of soy.
As little as 25 milligrams of soy protein a day may decrease LDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Soya reduces "hot flushes" and the incidence of osteoporosis. In one study, the addition of 45 grams of soy flour reduced the number of hot flushes by 40 percent.
Certain studies into animal obesity seem to indicate that soy may stimulate the metabolism and may assist in weight loss. According to soy researchers at Iowa State University, "Isoflavone-rich soy may attenuate the increase in fat deposition and prevent loss in lean tissue during menopause." Thus, soy may assist weight management and control during menopause.
Achieving the right weight and posture leads to better health during the menopause years. Eating soy together with the right diet and exercise are some strategies for menopause management. And for keeping you weight in check, use Zalestra, the most complete hormonal balancing/weight control compound specially developed for pre-menopausal and menopausal women.
