Menopause Diet, Nutritional Facts
Posted: April 27, 2016 at 3:43 pm
What to include and what to avoid in your menopause diet. Research shows that what women eat can either reduce or exacerbate most menopausal symptoms.
One of the most distressing symptoms of menopause is weight gain. Did you know that six small healthy meals per day can be the secret to maintaining weight control? Only some women can manage this, however, but it is worth trying. If you cant maintain it and have a problem defining small, revert back to three meals per day with smaller portions than those you are used to.
Whilst HRT and natural therapies can help with symptoms of menopause, diet and exercise can go a long way to winning the battle, in fact women who follow a healthy diet and exercise may deal far better with menopause and protect themselves against diseases such as heart disease.

Here is a quick reminder of the importance of maintaining a healthy Body Mass Index (BMI)
If your BMI is less than 18.4 you are underweight for your height. If your BMI is between 18.5 and 24.9 you are an ideal weight for your height. If your BMI is between 25 and 29.9 you are overweight for your height. If your BMI is between 30 and 39.9 you are obese. If your BMI is over 40 you are very obese.
A BMI of 25 or higher can be associated with an increased risk of heart disease. Losing 10-15 pounds can help to lower blood pressure and reduce your risk of diabetes.
If your BMI is over 30, you need to take immediate action to change your lifestyle in order to lose weight.
Weight distribution is also very important, your waist (just above your naval) should measure below 35 inches.
Research has found that menopausal women who follow a mediterranean diet including whole grain pasta and healthy fats cut their risk of hot flushes and night sweats by about 20%.
Menopausal women who eat diets high in sugar and saturated trans-fats increase their risk by 23%.
Research has shown that trans fats increase bad cholesterol and decrease good cholesterol too much can also have an effect on memory loss and concentration difficulties both of which are well known menopause symptoms.
Your menopause diet needs to contain a variety of foods to ensure that you get all the nutrients (vitamins and minerals) that you need.
FACT If you take in fewer calories than your burn for a long period of time you will lose weight.
Low glycemic carbs whole grain breads, cereals, pasta, all promote energy.
Plant based foods (phytoestrogens) work in the body like a weak form of estrogen and may help to relieve symptoms such as hot flushes and night sweats although research into this remains contradictory soy. linseeds, flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, celery, rhubarb, green beans.
Consuming four tablespoons of ground flaxseed daily, 2 in the morning and 2 at night may decrease your frequency of hot flushes. Flaxseeds are packed with lignan. Many leading nutritionists think that the combination of fibre, essential fatty acids, protein and lignan help with inflammation and ward off potential heart problems.
Calcium (vital for bone health) found in dairy products, fish with bones, broccoli and legumes.
Iron found in red meat (lean), poultry, fish, eggs, leafy vegetables, nuts and enriched grain produce.
Protein found in meat, dairy products, nuts, beans and lentils. As we age we need enough protein as it plays a vital role in helping your body recover from illness, infections and surgery. Protein helps to constantly build cells so that your body can stay young and maintain a healthy weight
Fibre found in whole grain produce, broccoli, cereals, pasta, rice, fresh fruit and vegetables.
Fruit and vegetables 5 portions per day.
8 glasses of water per day is the recommended requirement for healthy adults.
Omega 3 fatty acids include essential fatty acids that are critical to your health, good food sources include cold-water fish, flaxseed, soy and walnuts.
Flaxseed is a good menopause diet food Low-fat dairy products Soy products such as soy milk and tofu Seeds such as linseeds, flaxseed Oily fish such as salmon, sardines Vegetables Olive oil, canola oil Fruit Wholegrain cereals, pasta and rice Wholegrain bread Nuts Legumes (beans and lentils) Eggs, fish and lean meat Green tea, herbal tea Water
Dr Sarah Brewer is the author of a book entitled Menopause Diet: How to Eat to Beat Hot Flashes. Dr Brewer is one of the few doctors who is also a Registered Nutritionist and a Registered Nutritional Therapist. She explains how certain foods can help with menopause symptoms. All of Dr Brewers advice is evidence-based. You can read my personal review of Menopause Diet: How to Eat to Beat Hot Flashes here.
Processed foods refined carbs such as white bread, rice, pasta and potatoes release glucose into the bloodstream quickly which can lead to high-low mood swings, weight gain, obesity, insulin resistance, fatigue and many other diet related diseases.
Reduce foods high in saturated fat fatty meats, whole milk, ice cream, cheese. (Limit saturated fat to less than 7% of your total daily calories as these raise cholesterol and increase your risk of heart disease).
Reduce foods high in trans fats vegetable oils, baked produce, some margarines, cakes, pizza etc (Fat should provide 25% 35% or less of your total daily calories).
Use sugar and salt in moderation too much sodium is linked to high blood pressure. Salt and processed carbohydrates will make you retain water which will give you that menopause bloating feeling.
Avoid foods containing high levels of nitrates found in smoked produce, salt-cured produce and charbroiled foods. (High levels of nitrates have been linked to cancer)
Alcohol consumption women should limit alcohol to one or fewer drinks per day. As well as increasing hot flushes, alcohol also affects your sleep, mood and weight. Heavy consumption can also lead to osteoporosis as alcohol prevents cells from building new bone. Trigger Foods to Avoid in your Menopause Diet
If you are experiencing hot flushes, avoiding certain trigger foods and beverages may help, such as:-
Spicy foods Caffeine Alcohol Tea Dark chocolate
Try decaffeinated coffee instead and herbal teas.
(If you suffer from Celiac Disease or have a gluten sensitivity you will need to obtain dietary advice from your healthcare professional).
If you are not already eating 6 small meals a day containing healthy foods, now is the time to start. Eating the right diet little and often will help to banish cravings by keeping your blood sugar and hormones levels in check throughout the day.
Dont forget to treat yourself now and again!

I knew I was getting top-of-the-line treatment when they told me about what they learned recently, and how they were incorporating that knowledge into the gym. They've never used foul language, which has bothered me at some of the other places I've been to. They always make ...morean extra effort to be polite and courteous. Their staff is the most friendly, welcoming staff I've ever dealt with. They are so warm and professional, and make the whole experience that much better. view less
I absolutely love this gym. I've been going for just about a year and still look forward to going. Definitely a "must" if you like classes. The class atmosphere keeps me motivated and keeps me moving. They have a really wide variety and at a lot of different time...mores. I've also never had a problem when I decide to use the machines - never had to wait. This is the only gym that's kept me going back 5 - 6 times a week for over a year - and still going! view less
I really love this facility, they have alot of programs for kids as well as adults. I do cardio and have lost a significant amount of weight. I feel better, look better and have alot more energy.

Sacrum (from the Latin for "sacred") is connected to your pelvis ("ilium") particular the upper parts of the ilium called the "ala" or wi...ngs - just like the "wings" of your shoulder blades. The sacro-iliac joint is certainly one of the most important joints in the body - both for its structural and its energetic roles in our lives.
The ligaments that span the sacro-iliac joint need just the right "span." Too close and too loose, they become less healthy as tissues. So when we sit on our pelvis all day, the pelvis is pressed up into the sacrum, closing this important distance; the ligaments lose their appropriate span; they go slack. The next time you bend over suddenly without being warmed up, there is a greater chance your back will spasm. This is because the nervous system, reading the Si ligaments as less reliable, will spasm your lower back to assure stability. Thus, the importance of doing things such as yoga to open up the SI as well to strengthen the core muscles.
One can consider the deep, ancient wisdom that caused the sacrum to have its very special name. Here is one example of visionary thinking about the sacrum from Chinese acupunture (from my friend, Alan Hext) - "In Chinese acupuncture traditions the eight sacral foramina (the paired holes at each level of the sacrum) are sometimes known as the eight winds. These can be taken as vents through which the vital breaths of qi and spirit blow, as well as ability to orient to the eight directions (the sacrum in relation to the centre of gravity). This latter allows us to embody pivotal balance so we can adapt and be free to be open to all possibilities."
May your sacrum convey its wisdom in your every movement today.

The University of Michigan Health and Retirement Study (HRS) is a longitudinal panel study that surveys a representative sample of approximately 20,000 people in America over the age of 50 every two years. Supported by the National Institute on Aging (NIA U01AG009740) and the Social Security Administration, the HRS explores the changes in labor force participation and the health transitions that individuals undergo toward the end of their work lives and in the years that follow.
Since its launch in 1992, the study has collected information about income, work, assets, pension plans, health insurance, disability, physical health and functioning, cognitive functioning, and health care expenditures. Through its unique and in-depth interviews, the HRS provides an invaluable and growing body of multidisciplinary data that researchers can use to address important questions about the challenges and opportunities of aging.
The full scope of the study is described in the publication Growing Older in America: The Health and Retirement Study; an overview is provided in our general brochure and this video.
Health and Retirement Study data products are available without cost to registered users; certain Conditions of Use apply. Once you are registered, the Getting Started page will help you learn more about the data products produced by this complex study.

Sales Training – The Sales Coaching Institute

Sales Skills Training Revolves Around:
If you are in the world of sales, you know that the day to day activities of selling brings many different faces and personalities into your life each and every day. Deciphering these personalities and having the ability to categorize them effectively is important. Different personalities call for unique approaches, techniques and closing capabilities. A true professional will be able to adjust their sales presentation and style to fit their prospects wants and needs.
Our sales programs teach something that all of the greatest salesmen practice throughout their careers, being treated with kindness. If you are going to be selling someone a product or service they must trust you. Buyers can sense greed and know when you are just trying to make a sale rather then actually help them improve their current situation.
In order to modify a sales presentation and style so that it is effective, a sales professional will fully understand their sales process and their product/service. This allows the sales person to advance from certain steps in the sales cycle to the crucial next steps on command. Why does this matter? If a client wants to talk about the middle of the presentation first and skip the introduction, your sales force must have the ability to do just that. With this level of understanding you can also be assured that they are demonstrating the benefits of the product or service that the buyer really wants to hear, (all buyers will want to hear something a little different). This is called tailor made sales presentation skills
Helping professionals understand what sales skills are natural to them and which are more of an obstacle is a crucial part of our sales training methods that improves sales.
As a sales person, gaining insights as to how crucial decisions are made, objections are handled and how quickly a person flows through a presentation can lead to increased awareness and a stronger ability to adapt to a demanding situation to make the sale.
The above aspects directly impact your ROI.
Most sales people are driven by goals, results and/or sales compensation. Our closely monitored sales training and sales assessments uncover the things that motivate employees to sell. Not only do we uncover these motivators but we will also discover new methods of motivation that will allow them to improve sales. This helps them adapt their actions to clearly communicate crucial facts and needs to their clients/prospects. This results in more sales and higher employee moral as commission checks rise and the company is increasing production.
All content is custom and specifically developed for each organization and industry that we work with.
