Soy - A Super Food

Many women today are looking to natural solutions for easing menopausal symptoms. One of the many options to help you during perimenopause and menopause is soy which is sometimes called a “superfood.” Most noted, many women find soy effective in reducing the frequency and severity of hot flashes.

There are many sources for soy and I hope this list will inspire you to include plenty of soy in your diet. Of course, every woman is different and you may or may not notice a difference but hey – it’s worth a shot – right?

  • Soybeans
  • Soy milk and other soy drinks
  • Soy nuts
  • Miso
  • Tofu
  • Soy flour
  • Soy protein powder
  • Soy sauce
  • Soybean sprouts
  • Lecithin
  • Soybean oil
  • Tempeh
  • Soy grits
  • Texturized soy or vegetable protein
  • and more – new products are showing up all the time!

    No one really seems to know how much soy you need in order to notice the affects but the Japanese diet includes around 10 – 25 grams a day and many Japanese women report fewer symptoms than we do in our Western culture. Again – worth a shot!
