For all my menopausal woman...
Pomegranates are a must!
And I recommend adding them to your weekly meal plan. Pomegranate seeds, as well as their juice and oil, have been shown to help women with hot flashes.
You know when a hot flash starts and you feel like your face is on fire? Okay, maybe not on fire, but you get a flush feeling in your face?
I say to myself "my natural, rosy cheeks are coming out now," and I know we all hate them but I have learned to embrace them.
Part of the reason pomegranates are so good is that not only are they full of vitamins buts they also contain antioxidants including: polyphenols, tannins and anthocyanins, which are types of phytonutrients.
Which is great for so many other things than just menopause. These chemicals offer protection to many chronic disease such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease, Alzheimers and reduce blood pressure.
They are easy to add to your diet! Sprinkle them on your salad, drizzle pomegranate juice over your chicken or fish.
Pomegranates may also help women in menopause with
vaginal dryness and discomfort.
Who wouldn't want a little extra lubrication!
During menopause, vaginal skin can thin out and atrophy. Pomegranates may help retain vitality in vaginal tissue, which can reduce discomfort and promote natural lubrication.
Pomegranates are one of my favorite foods they add a little freshness to any dish or drink with so many healthy benefits for men and women. Who wouldn't want to add them?!
