Foods to eat
Turkey
Menopausal women experience a decline in oestrogen levels which are associated with decreased muscle mass and bone strength, so getting enough protein is key.
Protein can be sourced from plant-based foods such as nuts, seeds, legumes and pulses, or animal-derived such as eggs, meat and fish.
Turkey is a good option because gram for gram, turkey has more protein than chicken, and contains less than one percent saturated fat per breast.
Oily fish
Healthy fats, such as those found in olive oil, avocado, and oily fish like salmon and trout, should be enjoyed daily.
Laura explained how healthy fats can “keep you fuller for longer” and can help reduce sugar cravings”.
