THIS popular diet can reduce post-menopausal hot flashes and other symptoms
Research indicates a vegan diet can significantly alleviate severe hot flashes and promote weight loss in postmenopausal women. A reanalysis of existing data reveals that plant-based foods, even when processed, are more effective than animal-based diets in reducing these symptoms. 'Eat your greens!' might have sounded like nagging once, but turns out Mom was onto something far bigger! Greens are good for health, and the latest research suggests that they could even help women navigate smoothly through menopause. A new analysis published in the journal Menopause suggests that sticking to a certain diet can help with post-menopausal symptoms in women. Postmenopausal symptoms and diet Hot flashes are among the most frequent complaints of women during the menopausal transition. This sudden burst of heat felt in the upper body, often accompanied by sweating and increased heart rate, appears even after menopause. The new analysis found that a vegan diet can significantly reduce severe hot flashes and aid in weight loss for postmenopausal women. Why vegan is bigger and better Previous research has shown that a low-fat vegan diet, specifically one supplemented with soybeans, can reduce body weight and hot flashes. Studies have also shown that diets dense in ultraprocessed foods can lead to increased calorie intake and weight gain compared to those with unprocessed or minimally processed foods. The reason is the higher energy density, meaning they are more calorie-rich for their size. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Ultraprocessed foods are also often high in added sugars, unhealthy fats, and sodium, while being low in fiber and other essential nutrients. Menopause: Beyond the cliches - Dr. Nandita Palshetkar uncovers subtle symptoms and how women must self-care However, this new secondary date analysis showed that vegans have added benefits, as this diet not only relieves the postmenopausal symptoms, but also shows the same great results even if highly processed plant-based foods are consumed. A group of researchers reanalyzed existing data to see if the type of food, animal-based or plant-based, influenced how processed food intake affected body weight and hot flashes. The participants of the study were randomly placed on either a low-fat vegan diet with soy or a regular diet including animal products. Both groups started with similar hot flash symptoms. After 12 weeks, the vegan group saw a 92% drop in severe hot flashes, while the control group saw little change. The vegan group also lost an average of 3.6 kg, compared to just 0.2 kg in the control group. The researchers found that whether the food was highly or minimally processed didn't matter as much as whether it was plant or animal-based. The study suggests that plant-based foods may help reduce weight and hot flash severity more effectively, even if processed! What are the experts saying 'This study highlights the potential positive effects of a plant-based diet rich in soy (regardless of the level of processing) in terms of both hot flash and weight management. Given these and the other known benefits in terms of lowering heart disease and cancer risk, women in midlife should consider leaning into a plant-based diet,' Dr. Stephanie Faubion, medical director for The Menopause Society, said in a release.

After parents' divorce, adult child picks side
After my brother and I left for college, my mother carried on a series of extramarital affairs and ultimately left my father; she has now remarried to her latest fling. They are even attending the same church we went to from the time I was a child. I have gone to counselors who urge me not to pick sides and to maintain a good relationship with both of my parents, but it's kind of hard not to sympathize with my dad (who up to the date of the divorce said he was willing to forgive and forget, and take Mom back) over my mom, who just says she was unfulfilled and wanted a 'new soul mate.' Get Love Letters: The Newsletter A weekly dispatch with all the best relationship content and commentary – plus exclusive content for fans of Love Letters, Dinner With Cupid, weddings, therapy talk, and more. Enter Email Sign Up I told my mom I wanted nothing to do with her at the time of the divorce, and up to this day have followed through on that. But I've gotten a lot of advice urging me to forgive her and try to move on in a positive direction. Advertisement What do you advise? Am I wrong in this? I can't overstate how disappointed I am in my mother's choices, which are completely at odds with everything she'd claimed to be, up until a few years ago. Advertisement SEEKING CLARITY A. The emotions you're feeling about the divorce and your mother's actions are likely overwhelmingly complex. So, you have my empathy. You've accumulated a lot of advice, and I doubt I'm the last word. And I'm not going to contradict everything else you've heard. But I think that forgiveness is a step or two beyond where you are right now. It's important to remember that parents are human, that every marriage is unique, and that every person has the capacity to give in to their worst instincts and that doesn't make them unworthy of love. And I'm not writing this to defend your mother; I'm referring to both of your parents. Try, if you can, to step away from choosing sides. Instead, see your relationship with each parent as unique. Each relationship has its injuries that need mending. With your mother, you're holding on to this disappointment over the dissolution of your family structure. That's a major injury. And I think you'll continue to feel the hurt of that injury for a long time unless you have a conversation with her wherein you talk about your hurt and give her the opportunity to make amends. It's hard to forgive when no apology has been offered. I don't think you can actually forgive her on behalf of your father. But by refocusing on what's wrong between the two of you, you may find a path forward. It doesn't have to be forgiveness. But I think that you can experience more peace. Q. I wanted to add to your response to 'Super Crush,' the married letter writer who developed a crush on someone who works at her local grocery. Advertisement This is something that helped me tremendously when I felt the same thing 25 years ago, as a young wife and mother who totally was in love with her husband. At the time, I was completely shocked at myself and took no pleasure in my crush whatsoever. I didn't want it, I knew the person wasn't right for me, there was nothing that explained it. After researching it at the time, I found a book titled 'Anatomy of Love' by Helen Fisher. One of the things it explained was how a crush out of nowhere is a primal experience in our brain that is caused by brain chemicals, not because we have found our soul mate. This person's crush probably has nothing to do with the grocery employee, but everything to do with a rush of brain chemicals that happened to occur coincidentally at that moment and in that space. This helped calm me at the time and allowed me to continue meeting with him (a physical therapist) to get the medical care I needed. I was able to remind myself that this was just some overactive production of dopamine that meant nothing, and that I did not have to act on it. It was not easy, but after a few months the feeling went away. BEEN THERE A. Dr. Fisher's book is a very interesting resource and, to your point, might calm the letter writer's nerves. Sometimes a crush is just a crush. R. Eric Thomas can be reached at .

Eyeing the Dyson Supersonic Nural Hair Dryer? It's Now at the Lowest Price I've Seen
I recently received the Dyson Supersonic Nural as a gift, and I'm not being dramatic when I say I let out a gasp when I unwrapped it. This thing had been sitting on my wishlist for months, but I never thought I'd actually own it. It felt like someone had handed me the crown jewels of hair tools. (Thanks, Mom!) Fast-forward a few months and I can confidently say I'm obsessed with it. This isn't one of those fancy gadgets that ends up collecting dust in the back of a drawer or closet. I use it almost daily, and every time I do, I think, "Whoa, this really is that good." The Dyson Supersonic Nural hair dryer usually isn't on sale. In fact, it's almost never on sale. But right now is the exception because for a limited time, you can find the Dyson Supersonic Nural on sale on Amazon for $399, a 20% discount from its usual $500 price tag. That's its lowest price yet -- and this discount isn't likely to return anytime soon. For more Memorial Day deals, explore our roundup of all the live sales now, and these top Memorial Day mattress deals. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. How I use my super speedy Dyson hair dryer Drying my hair used to be a whole production -- arms aching, sweating and annoyed by the end, and still somehow left with frizz and fly-aways. Now, it takes me under 10 minutes, which still kind of blows my mind. I have thick, slightly longer than shoulder-length hair that holds onto moisture like it's a job, so this is no small feat. The Nural model has this cool feature where it senses how close it is to your scalp and adjusts the heat automatically. I didn't really get what that meant until I used it. Basically, it stops me from roasting my roots while still drying everything quickly. I usually start with the smoothing nozzle when I want a sleek look, but if I'm feeling lazy or just running late, I'll just rough-dry with no attachment at all. On days when I decide to lean into my natural texture, the diffuser is a game-changer when I scrunch my hair into waves. It doesn't flatten out my curls or make them frizzy like my old dryer did. It's also a lot quieter than I expected and super lightweight. I've dried my whole head while half-asleep, coffee (or wine if it's the evening) in one hand, Dyson in the other. It really is that easy. Why the Dyson makes a gasp-worthy gift Honestly, this is one of those things I never would've bought for myself (hello, price tag), but now that I have it, I can't imagine going back. It's the ultimate "treat yourself" item, but in this case, someone else treated me and I'll never stop being grateful. If you're looking for a gift that feels luxurious yet practical, this checks all the boxes. Especially now that it's on sale at the lowest price ever. Seriously, now's the time. My final thoughts The Dyson Supersonic Nural isn't just hype; it's genuinely made my hair styling better. I don't dread drying my hair anymore. In fact, I kind of enjoy it? Which, for me, is pretty amazing. If you're on the fence about it or you've been eyeing it forever like I was, this Memorial Day sale might just be the nudge you need. If you're looking for other fun gifts, here are our favorite kitchen gifts under $50. You can also read my reviews of my favorite Everything Maker, and my favorite coffee and espresso system.
