Hot Flash Prevention By Dietary Modification
Patients wishing to boost their levels of
soy, flaxseed, and fish oils can try the following strategies,
recommended by experts interviewed for this story.
SOY. One serving of soy a day and an increase in fruits and
vegetables will improve a woman’s intake of isoflavones.
FLAXSEED. 1-2 tbsps of flaxseed in baked goods or sprinkled on
cereal provides a healthy dose of lignans.
FISH OILS. Increasing weekly fish intake to 2 or 3 servings, up
from the North American standard of less than 1 serving per week,
provides a healthy boost of omega-3 fatty acids.
In addition, soy, fish oils, and flaxseed oil are also available as
supplements.
