Nutrition Can Help! 🛟
Your diet is an important part of managing symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, weight gain, brain fog and fatigue.
💥 Be sure to save this post for later, because you'll want a reminder of which 4 foods (and the yummy recipe) can help to manage your symptoms.
🐟 Fatty Fish: High in omega-3 fatty acids, which may help decrease menopausal symptoms.
🥬 Leafy Greens: Rich in calcium, magnesium, and vitamin K, which support bone health as estrogen levels decline.

1️⃣ 1 1/2 lb salmon, cut into portions

✅ Rinse and pat salmon dry. Slice into portions ~ I recommend 4-6 oz. per portion
✅ Preheat oven to 375° F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
✅ In a small bowl, mix seeds and salt. Place seed mixture on a plate.
✅ Press the flesh side of the salmon into the mixture and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with all fillets.
✅ Place the baking sheet in the middle of the oven and bake until salmon is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 145° F. Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the fish.
✅ Serve atop greens with a side of vegetables.
