Because some (quite common) foods can make menopause symptoms worse, it is recommended to reduce their consumption.

This will help a woman maintain normal well-being during menopause.

Sugar

Excess sugar in the diet worsens a woman's condition, making hot flashes during menopause longer and more frequent.

This is just one reason why it is worth controlling your sweets consumption. The second is that overindulgence in desserts leads to weight gain, which is one of the most important factors affecting well-being during menopause.

According to research data, women who are overweight are more likely to experience more severe symptoms than those whose weight is within the normal range.

Caffeine

This component is found in tea, coffee and energy drinks and, just like sugar, does not alleviate the condition during menopause.

The reaction to caffeine is individual, which means that it does not make all people more active.

Try an experiment: Try giving up caffeine for a couple of weeks to see if you feel better without it.
