Pan-fried Tofu with Steamed Greens and Quinoa – we’ve been designing meals with a high plant score that will be great for
supporting women who are going through menopause. According to Dr. Nitu, adopting plant-based diets rich in legumes
including beans, lentils and peas, and especially soy helps reduce menopausal symptoms in two ways. First, soy is a rich source
of plant oestrogens or natural phytoestrogens. These can help to reduce both hot flush incidence and severity. Second, soy can
help to promote a happy weight. Excess body weight is associated with a higher incidence of symptomatic hot
flushes. Something like Pan-fried Tofu with Steamed Greens and Quinoa is the perfect dinner as it’s loaded with nutrients and
packed with flavour.
"I went from being really active to getting out of bed and everything hurts. I had terrible fatigue, soreness, joint pains and heart palpitations; and I didn’t want to do Hormone Replacement Therapy. Then I found The Happy Menopause Course. The content is great, Dr. Nitu is wonderful, The Happy Pear Recipes are so practical, so simple and so tasty (the Lemon Meringue Crunch bars are off the charts!). This course is the perfect way to support your body, move it more, and keep it healthy. I’ve adopted so many positive habits, and I went from feeling 48% to 110%."
