Low fat
Eating a healthy, well-balanced diet is always the best option. Lean proteins, fruits, vegetable and whole grains are excellent food choices and precessed foods that are high in fat should be avoided. Menopause can trigger can slow a woman's metabolism so eating right and exercising is best to maintain an ideal BMI. Spicy foods and alcohol can trigger a hot flash in some women. Soy products and yams, in moderation, can help ease hot flashes in some women.
Try to use more soya products and also eat a diet with low salt and low carbs. She needs to increase her water intake.
