How can you combat perimenopausal symptoms like gaining stubborn belly fat by adjusting your nutrition? Here are four tips you can implement today:
Bump Your Protein: Consider increasing your protein intake to 30% of your calorie intake. Start by making small swaps, such as increasing your protein at a meal by one ounce.
Create a Small Calorie Deficit: Decreasing estrogen levels can lead to more weight gain around the midsection. By creating a small calorie deficit of no more than 200 calories per day, you can help shed that stubborn fat without losing muscle.
Increase Your Calcium and Vitamin D Intake: A drop in estrogen during perimenopause can lead to more bone resorption than formation, which can result in osteoporosis. By increasing your calcium and vitamin D intake, you can help keep your bones healthy.
Focus on Antioxidants: Incorporate more antioxidants into your diet. These can help prevent oxidative stress in your body. Vitamins like Vitamin E can help reduce the severity and frequency of hot flashes. Additionally, antioxidants are beneficial in boosting your mood and assisting with anxiety and depression.
So good! ❤
I agree with everything except for the taking calcium there’s calcium and everything. In fact, we are in over saturated calcium population. the best thing that you can take for your bones would be MSM or boron in addition to magnesium. There is 0% boron in our soil today.. so supplementing is Key. It can reverse osteoporosis and help with arthritis. I did the boron protocol when every doctor told me to take tons of calcium, it only made it worse. My body was completely inflamed. Nobody could tell me what was wrong I couldn’t walk at 30. I’ll never be doing that again boron and magnesium work. If you can take magnesium, orally and topically, that would be better.
Thank you for the advice sir 🫡
