Why do 85% of menopausal women suffer hot flashes in some countries but only 15% in others? Soy can be considered a first-line treatment for menopausal hot flash and night sweat symptoms.
Check out Dietary Approach to Naturally Treating Menopause Symptoms (nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-approach-to-naturally-treating-menopause-symptoms/).
I did a series on vaginal menopause symptoms, including:
• The Best Moisturizers and Lubricants for Vaginal Menopause Symptoms (nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-moisturizers-and-lubricants-for-vaginal-menopause-symptoms)
• Hormone Treatment (Estrogen Pills and Creams) for Vaginal Menopause Symptoms (nutritionfacts.org/video/hormone-treatment-estrogen-pills-and-creams-for-vaginal-menopause-symptoms)
• Soy Milk for Vaginal Menopause Symptoms (nutritionfacts.org/video/soy-milk-for-vaginal-menopause-symptoms)
For more on how to live your longest, healthiest life, check out my book How Not to Age (nutritionfacts.org/book/how-not-to-age/). (As always, all proceeds I receive from all of my books (nutritionfacts.org/books/) are donated to charity.)
What about soy and breast cancer? See my video Is Soy Healthy for Breast Cancer Survivors?(nutritionfacts.org/video/is-soy-healthy-for-breast-cancer-survivors/).
