Managing Menopause: Eating to Feel Good and Stay Strong
Now that we’ve covered how movement can help you feel better during menopause, let’s talk about food.
What you eat directly affects your energy, hormones, and how your body feels every day. The good news is, it’s not about dieting. It’s about giving your body what it actually needs.
Five Simple Nutrition Swaps That Make a Big Difference
Increase protein to help keep your muscles strong and energy levels steady with options like chicken, tofu, eggs, fish, or a good quality protein shake.
Include healthy fats like omega-3s from salmon, walnuts, and flaxseeds to reduce inflammation and support brain health.
Add more fiber with whole grains, oats, vegetables, and legumes to keep digestion and blood sugar balanced.
Prioritise calcium and magnesium from leafy greens, dairy, and nuts to support strong bones, as menopause can increase the risk of bone loss.
Incorporate phytoestrogens from foods like flaxseeds, tofu, and tempeh, which can help offset some estrogen decline symptoms.

What About Supplements
While food should always come first, the right supplements can fill the gaps and support your body through menopause.
✓ Protein powder is a simple way to boost muscle recovery and energy.

✓ Vitamin D and calcium are essential for keeping bones strong and preventing fractures.

Always check with your healthcare provider before adding new supplements to your routine.
