Patient's question:
Lately, I've been feeling hot flashes and chest tightness, which is very uncomfortable. I also tend to get angry easily. What foods are good for menopausal syndrome?Doctor's answer:
Pay attention to dietary nutrition. For those experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, nervous exhaustion, and emotional instability during menopause, it is important to include foods rich in B vitamins in their diet, such as coarse grains (millet, oatmeal), beans, and lean meat, as well as milk. The tryptophan found in milk has a calming and sleep-inducing effect; leafy greens and fruits are also rich in B vitamins. These foods help maintain the function of the nervous system and improve absorption. Additionally, it is advisable to reduce salt intake (preferably doubling the usual amount) and avoid foods such as alcohol, coffee, strong tea, and pepper.
