The Menopause Makeover<\/span><\/h2>\n

with Leslie Bonci, MPH, RDN, CSSD, LDN<\/span><\/h4>\n

Menopause has such a negative connotation. At a time of life when you should be enjoying yourself, you may feel physically uncomfortable with your body and the new changes in your health due in part to hormonal fluctuations but also age. We can engage, not be enraged, and find a way to be proactive and preventive. How do I know this? I had an early menopause, and as a registered dietitian, wife, mother, and Glamma, I put in the work to feel my best every day.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, what am I suggesting? We need to control what we can with an eating plan. What, when, how much you eat, and drink can help with el<\/span>evated blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood glucose. Consuming enough fiber can help to keep you regular and minimize bloating and indigestion. A sound eating plan can also fortify your support structure to optimize bone health. The foods you choose can optimize the health of your eyes and keep you moving and grooving.<\/p>\n

My Recommendations\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Be Fit, Fed, and Fearless!\u00a0 Age is a privilege, not a punishment!\u00a0 This is our time to keep on, we do not have to keep up with anyone. Make your foods count. The goal is to get the most out of what you eat in terms of the nutritional value.\u00a0 Many women say that they cannot eat like they used to, in terms of calories, or they gain weight. When it comes to meals, do not be a feudie, be a foodie!\u00a0 Choose the foods you like in an amount that is satisfying.\u00a0 Sit and savor to enjoy every bite.<\/span><\/p>\n
