It's okay if you need to treat yourself to a bowl of salad or yogurt, but some flaxseed in it makes the entire difference! Since this period comes with a lot of hormonal changes, the omega-3 fatty acids, lignans, and alpha-linolenic acid make it an excellent dietary choice. It is also very rich in fiber.

 

Benefits:

It helps with mood stability and cushions the effects of likely heat flashes in this stage.

It aids digestion and weight management 

It regulates hormone levels
