When it comes to perimenopause, many things are out of our hands, but one thing we can control is what we eat. Choosing the right foods can not only help to alleviate peri symptoms, such as hot flushes and mood swings, but it can also prevent or minimise the weight changes that occur during this stage of life. And, what's more, instilling healthy eating patterns now can set us up for long-term health and protect our bones, heart and brain as we age. In The Peri Diet, accredited practising dietitian and bestselling author Jaime Rose Chambers reveals the importance of certain key nutrients at this time (hello, protein) and shares the star ingredients to eat to ensure we're getting enough of the good stuff, from tofu, berries and yoghurt, to seeds, nuts and extra-virgin olive oil. With 50 super-simple, family-friendly, nutritionally replete recipes, along with myth-busting facts, kitchen hacks and sage advice, The Peri Diet is your complete guide to eating for a happy and healthy perimenopause - and beyond.
