2. Choose your food intelligently

4. Take Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids
• It is estimated that over 80% of the US population is deficient in omega 3 essential fatty acids
• Omega 3’s help to balance hormones that can cause PMS.
• Omega 3’s help to ward off symptoms associated with menopause such as osteoporosis, heart disease, vaginal dryness, thinning skin and hair, joint pain and dry eyes
• A diet high in omega 3’s may be one of the reasons why Japanese women have fewer menopausal problems than American women do
• Why plant based omega 3 and not fish oil?
• Endocrine disruptors and heavy metals magnify in the food chain. Large deep water “fatty” fish like tuna may contain high levels of synthetic chemicals and heavy metals.
