Traditional cultures around the world have long known the benefits at menopause of a mostly vegetarian diet. Numerous studies have linked vegetarian eating to lower cholesterol, blood pressure and overall weight, as well as a decreased risk of heart disease, type II diabetes, hypertension, certain cancers and menopause symptoms. A near-vegetarian diet rich in foods not common to American tables may account for lower rates of hot flashes, night sweats and other menopause discomforts in Asia and other continents. A healthy vegetarian diet consists of mostly whole, unprocessed fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and beans that contain phytoestrogens.
