How to Control Weight in Menopause Through
Better Diet
Staying happy and exercising regularly
are both important factors for weight control during menopause. In addition,
improve your diet, as follows:
- Watch your fats. Fat contains twice
the calories of other foods.
- Choose good quality vegetable fats and
oils, and limit animal fats.
- Go easy on added fats, like mayo and
cream.
- Reduce your intake of junk food.
- Increase your consumption of fiber.
This aids digestion, promotes good health and helps reduce calorie-intake.
- Reduce your intake of alcohol and caffeine.
Alcohol is relatively high in calories (7 calories/gram) and both undermine
your nutrition levels.
- Reduce your salt intake. High levels
of salt (sodium) is linked to higher blood pressure, a contributor to
heart disease.
