Your Menopause Diet

Isoflavones, which are found in plant-based foods like tofu and soymilk, have been shown to help lower cholesterol levels and decrease hot flashes and night sweats. Some research suggests that women with breast cancer or at risk for breast cancer limit their intake of isoflavones. The American Cancer Society recommends that women consume moderate amounts of soy food as part of a healthy plant-based diet and should not intentionally ingest very high levels of soy products if they are at risk for breast cancer. Your doctor can help you decide if soy foods are right for you.
