Linoleic acid (omega-6) and linolenic acid (omega-3) are particularly important for menopause relief. The body converts fatty acids into substances called prostaglandins that bolster the immune system, reduce inflammation and risk of heart attack and stroke, and help keep body tissues, including skin, vaginal, and bladder mucosa, moist and plump.
Walnuts and raw seeds such as flax, pumpkin, sesame, and sunflower seeds are wonderful sources of omega-6 fatty acids. Fish—especially wild salmon, trout, and tuna—as well as flaxseed; soy foods; and leafy, green vegetables, are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids.
