Go Green for Menopause Relief

Thursday, June 19, 2008 by Susan Lark

What are green foods? No, they’re not broccoli, spinach, and green beans(although these veggies are extremely nutritious). Instead, green foods encompass foods like spirulina, chlorella, barley green, and wild blue-green algae.

These “super foods” are exceptionally rich sources of vital nutrients, digestible protein, essential minerals, and vitamin A. Algae, like spirulina, also contain omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. “Green foods” may not sound appetizing, but trust me—they are! And on top of that, green foods can be especially helpful for menopause relief—including increased energy and improved mood.

So many of my patients have told me that when they add 1 to 2 Tbsp. of these green foods to their diet (either by mixing the powdered form with 8 to 12 ounces of water or using it in shakes and smoothies), they’ve experienced significant symptom relief.
 
If you are in menopause and suffer from fatigue or depression (which frequently occur as side effects of certain types of hormone replacement therapy), then I urge you to give greens a try.
