You really need to watch your intake of acidic foods. \n\nThere are certain foods that are beneficial and certain you should avoid.\n\nDrink sufficient fluids -- your weight divided by 2 = ounces per day. Take fluids between meals, using reverse osmosis purified water, unsweetened juices, and herbal beverages. Try liquid chlorophyll in pure water, it is delicious and refreshing! \n\n*A minimum of 50% of your food should be alive -- fresh, raw, unprocessed. Dead food cannot build strong bodies. Eat foods in season and foods that can spoil. (But eat them before they spoil, of course!)More is preferable! \n\n*Eliminate foods used in a microwave. Try to eliminate using the microwave for anything you eat or drink.\n\n*Eliminate processed sugars and white flour and any foods that contains these; i.e., read labels. \nSubstitute whole grain foods for white -- stone ground whole wheat, brown rice, etc. \n\n*Avoid all stimulants. They are very hard on the adrenal glands. (Coffee, cigarettes, chocolate, cola drinks, alcohol, aspirin, black tea -- herbal tea acceptable.) \n\n*It is easier on your digestive system if you eat fruit by itself. Fruit digests faster than any other type of food. Starches and proteins do not combine well either. \n\n*Eat two-thirds of your daily food intake before mid-afternoon if possible. It is best to use protein in the morning and at noon, not in the evening. \n\n*Eliminate fried foods of all kinds -- bake, roast, or steam instead. \n\n*Avoid pork and any product containing pork -- lunch meats, hot dogs, ham, bacon, sausage, etc. Experts feel that the parasites in pork are heat-resistant. \n\n*Do not use aluminum cookware. \n\n*Replace table salt with Vegetable Seasoning Broth, kelp or B-Salt. Table salt -- sodium chloride -- is an imbalanced chemical which can cause health problems. \n\n*Replace red meat with fish or fowl whenever possible. \n\n*Substitute leaf lettuce -- Romaine, red or green leaf, or butter for head lettuce which has very little food value and is toxic in the colon. \nTry to add cultured products, natural yogurt & keifer (not sweetened) to your diet to help your digestive system. Also add acidophilus supplements to your regimen to increase friendly bacteria in your intestines and support your immune system. \n\n\n*70% of your daily food intake should be selected from alkaline-forming list. 30% from the acid-forming list. \n\nTo accomplish this, you may have: \n5 vegetables* \n2 fruits \n2 starches -- or -- 1 starch \n1 protein 2 proteins\n\nAcid - Forming Foods \nMeat \nFowl \nEggs \nBread\nNuts \nCitrus juices \nFish \nCheese \nRice \nGrains (cereal) \nSugar \nAlkali - Forming Foods \n\nFruit juices/except citrus \nVegetable juices \nRaw Honey \nSoybeans \nPotatoes \n*Liquid Chlorophyll - Chloropyll may be used as a vegetable.\nGoat milk \nsprouted seeds \n\nMe - fitness expert, nutrition and life coach \n\n\n\n\n\n\nSoda of ay kind is one of the worst things you can put into your body.\nOne can of soda has about 10 teaspoons of sugar, 150 calories, 30 to 55 mg of caffeine, and is loaded with artificial food colors and sulphites. I can't think of any good reason to ever have it. The diet varieties are also problematic as they are filled with harmful artificial sweeteners like aspartame.\n\nAspartame has been linked to \nBirth Defects \nCancer (Brain Cancer) \nDiabetes \nEmotional Disorders \nEpilepsy/Seizures\n\nSplenda is just as bad in fact Splenda is one of the worse things you could ever put in your body. It sugar and chlorine mixed together forming a chemical called sucralose.\n\nSplenda's Sour Side Effects\n\nShrunken thymus glands (up to 40 percent shrinkage) \nEnlarged liver and kidneys \nAtrophy of lymph follicles in the spleen and thymus \nReduced growth rate \nDecreased red blood cell count \nDiarrhea \n\nStudies have linked soda to osteoporosis, obesity, tooth decay and heart disease, yet the average American drinks an estimated 56 gallons of soft drinks each year.

Hormones don't help lose weight. A proper diet and the proper physical exercise does. Visit a personal trainer for the plan to best suit your needs based on your weight and active levels.\n\nAs far as regaining libido during menopause, estrogen re-uptake would be your best option here. I recommend looking into vitamins, most commonly labeled as Premarin or Cenestin. These vitamins will greatly aid during menopause. Please consult with your family physician for more information.\n\nBest of luck.

Soy based products have a safer estrogen kind that may help the transition. Those 'cooling bands' may help around the forehead or neck. Just know it is supposed to be time limited, so slowly get better over time.  If it doesn't seem too, it may be worthwhile to investigate as other conditions may mimic 'hot flushes'. So keeping a journal to see if there is a pattern of time, food related, place related, weather, etc. with frequency so you have something to show your doctor.

Beneficial Dietary Supplements\nVitamin E helps balance hormone production.\n\nZinc aids proper functioning of the reproductive system.\n\nDMG increases oxygen supply to all tissues.\n\nEssential Fatty Acids enhances function of the reproductive organs.\n\nL-Tyrosine lowers stress and elevates mood.\n\nManganese maintains sex hormone production.\n\nDamiana, Ginseng, Sarsaparilla and Saw Palmetto are helpful for female infertility.\n\nMotherwort regulates menstruation. \n\nYou could also call your local health food store. The people are very knowledgeable in alternatives. Don't be afraid to call. I know someone who could not get pregnant. She went to an herbalist and she suggested some herbs and she became pregnant. She also used it all three times she got pregnant!\nGood luck!!

You can help by eating soy foods and Flax Seed ground onto your cereal. Tofu is your best food for soy in recipes instead of animal products like meats. Eat lots of fresh fruits and raw vegetables and take a food based vitamin and mineral like Source of Life vitamins along with the herbs, Black Cohosh & Chaste Berry. Health food stores have all kinds of brands to help you choose and Progesterone cream can also help . Also don't smoke or drink alcohol.

Lots of water, and cut down on your carbohydrate intake (bread, rice, pasta, potatoes etc). Besides fat, carbs not used also turned into fat and gets stored in the body. The tricky thing is you NEED carbs to fuel your body and your brain. If you don't get enough you will feel weak (can't exercise), and you will get headaches and lack of concentration (can't function from day to day). \n\nMy experience tells me oatmeal is the best solution, as it is a form of "raw food" it is a very "pure" form of energy and it "burns" cleanly in your body. A big bowl in the morning will be able to sustain you for most of the day (including gym) till dinner time. And since it's also fiber, it comes out quickly instead of getting the carbs stored in the body and turn to fat.\n\nOther than that, have lots of veggies to get the nutrients, and lean meat (chicken breasts, tuna, beef steak) for proteins (even if you are a woman and doesn't want to be muscular, you will still need to increase your muscle mass a bit, as you need muscles to do exercises, and it will make you look fitter too).

Eat a variety of nutrient-rich foods. You need more than 40 different nutrients for good health, and no single food supplies them all. Your daily food selection should include bread and other whole-grain products; fruits; vegetables; dairy products; and meat, poultry, fish and other protein foods. How much you should eat depends on your calorie needs. Use the Food Guide Pyramid and the Nutrition Facts panel on food labels as handy references. \n\nEnjoy plenty of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Surveys show most Americans don't eat enough of these foods. Do you eat 6-11 servings from the bread, rice, cereal and pasta group, 3 of which should be whole grains? Do you eat 2-4 servings of fruit and 3-5 servings of vegetables? If you don't enjoy some of these at first, give them another chance. Look through cookbooks for tasty ways to prepare unfamiliar foods. \n\nMaintain a healthy weight. The weight that's right for you depends on many factors including your sex, height, age and heredity. Excess body fat increases your chances for high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, diabetes, some types of cancer and other illnesses. But being too thin can increase your risk for osteoporosis, menstrual irregularities and other health problems. If you're constantly losing and regaining weight, a registered dietitian can help you develop sensible eating habits for successful weight management. Regular exercise is also important to maintaining a healthy weight. \n\nEat moderate portions. If you keep portion sizes reasonable, it's easier to eat the foods you want and stay healthy. Did you know the recommended serving of cooked meat is 3 ounces, similar in size to a deck of playing cards? A medium piece of fruit is 1 serving and a cup of pasta equals 2 servings. A pint of ice cream contains 4 servings. Refer to the Food Guide Pyramid for information on recommended serving sizes. \n\nEat regular meals. Skipping meals can lead to out-of-control hunger, often resulting in overeating. When you're very hungry, it's also tempting to forget about good nutrition. Snacking between meals can help curb hunger, but don't eat so much that your snack becomes an entire meal. \n\nReduce, don't eliminate certain foods. Most people eat for pleasure as well as nutrition. If your favorite foods are high in fat, salt or sugar, the key is moderating how much of these foods you eat and how often you eat them. \nIdentify major sources of these ingredients in your diet and make changes, if necessary. Adults who eat high-fat meats or whole-milk dairy products at every meal are probably eating too much fat. Use the Nutrition Facts panel on the food label to help balance your choices. \n\nChoosing skim or low-fat dairy products and lean cuts of meat such as flank steak and beef round can reduce fat intake significantly. \n\nIf you love fried chicken, however, you don't have to give it up. Just eat it less often. When dining out, share it with a friend, ask for a take-home bag or a smaller portion. \n\n\nBalance your food choices over time. Not every food has to be "perfect." When eating a food high in fat, salt or sugar, select other foods that are low in these ingredients. If you miss out on any food group one day, make up for it the next. Your food choices over several days should fit together into a healthy pattern. \n\nKnow your diet pitfalls. To improve your eating habits, you first have to know what's wrong with them. Write down everything you eat for three days. Then check your list according to the rest of these tips. Do you add a lot of butter, creamy sauces or salad dressings? Rather than eliminating these foods, just cut back your portions. Are you getting enough fruits and vegetables? If not, you may be missing out on vital nutrients. \n\nMake changes gradually. Just as there are no "superfoods" or easy answers to a healthy diet, don't expect to totally revamp your eating habits overnight
