Evidence-Based Dietary Recommendations for Menopause
Certain dietary habits can ease the symptoms associated with menopause. Increasing protein intake is essential, with a recommendation of at least 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight, as it aids in preserving muscle mass and reducing the risk of fractures. Prioritizing plant-based proteins—such as legumes, tofu, and nuts—is emphasized due to their additional fiber and beneficial phytochemicals that combat inflammation. These dietary adjustments, particularly enhanced protein consumption, can also help mitigate weight gain and particularly visceral fat accumulation that often escalates during menopause.
