MENOPAUSE AND ANTI-AGING-RELIEF DIET
Here we are around the age of 45 or so
and we are trying to maintain our
weight. It seems a little tougher
now. We are feeling a bit
irritable…and all of a sudden we are
getting these flashes of heat radiating
from our toes to the top of our head.
WHAT WAS THAT? WHO TURNED THE
HEATER ON? SOMEONE GET ME A
FAN…QUICK. Just when we are
enjoying a little freedom (the kids are
off to college…maybe married) we’re
alone with our spouse at last…. and now
we’re in MENOPAUSE.
Well, life isn’t
fair (we realize again). Why don’t
men go through this?
Everyone knows that menopause is a time
of hormonal and metabolic changes to our
body. The end of a woman’s menstrual
cycle can cause all sorts of discomforts
for many women (some women… darn
them…get absolutely no symptoms at
all.) There are, however, some steps we
can take to make life a lot more
pleasant, while at the same time lose
some weight and maintain a more youthful
appearance. WE’RE NOT TALKING HORMONE
THERAPY HERE. We’re talking the right
food and vitamins, along with that dirty
word “Exercise.”.
It's
all about free radicals, oxidative
stress and antioxidants. These three
phrases sum up the aging process. Free
radicals create oxidative stress and
damage your cells. Antioxidants suppress
free radicals. While there are many
factors to aging that you can't control,
you can fight the build-up of free
radicals. By consuming foods rich in
antioxidants and other key nutrients
and by altering your lifestyle, you can
maximize cell health and rejuvenation.
We,
at Diet at Your Doorstep, Inc., are very
fortunate to have a large network of
dietitians, nutritionists and various
other nutritional sources, as well as
doctors who specialize in the aging
process available to us. Add to this
Mario’s talent for using innovative ways
to prepare and present delicious food,
and you have a recipe for a healthier
and happier menopausal woman.
