Silken tofu is a great base for smoothies, and soy isoflavones have been shown to help with peri menopause symptoms, such as hot flashes.

Try combining tofu with berries and orange juice. Blend up with some crushed ice and you have a delicious drink that’s not only good for your health, but may also give you some relief from your hot flashes.

For added nutrition and heart health, add a few tablespoons of flax seed oil or some ground flax seed. Flax seed also provides you with important omega 3 fatty acids.

To boost your calcium intake, add a cup of yogurt.  This will give you almost 1/2 your daily calcuim requirement for menopausal women.

This a healthy way to get relief from those uncomfortable hot flashes. Enjoy!

“I thought I knew the risk factors for heart disease and I didn’t think I fit any of those profiles,” Griffin explained.

The one risk factor she overlooked was menopause.

“The message is that all women are at risk for developing heart disease, particularly after menopause,” Carolyn Landolfo, M.D., a cardiologist at The Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., explained.

Dr. Landolfo says after menopause, a woman’s risk of heart disease skyrockets by 70 percent. Fatigue, shortness of breath, trouble sleeping, nausea and burning sensations are all signs of heart disease that many women brush off as hassles of menopause.

“A lot of things get confounded by aging,” Dr. Landolfo said. “People say, ‘I’m just getting older. I need to exercise.’ There’s always an excuse.”

After age 50, nearly half of all deaths in women are due to some form of heart disease. That’s more than the number of deaths from all cancers combined.

“Women’s symptoms tend to be minimized not only by themselves but by their doctors as well, and so I think it’s important for women to take charge and ask their doctor, ‘Could this be a sign of heart disease?’” Dr. Landolfo said.

Menopol, Promensil and Prevedia all give relief from menopause symptoms. But Menopol is better when compared to the others for the reason that it gives relief from all the symptoms of menopause and it is highly recommended by many women from their own experiences.

Promensil - Promensil is made with red clover isoflavones and helps to relieve symptoms of menopause like hot flashes and night sweats. It contains Vitamin D to help treat and prevent osteoporosis and maintain heart health for women. (I’ve personally tried this one and found it to be very effective for hot flashes, without any side effects)

Prevedia – Prevedia is an all natural herbal supplement. It contains ribulus terrestris, black cohosh, and calcium. It is said to give you relief from hot flashes, nervousness, night sweats and mood swings but does not provide relief from the remaining symptoms of menopause.

Menopol – Menopol is a natural medicine which gives you relief from all the symptoms of menopause with no known side effects. It contains all natural ingredients and you can experience relief from your symptoms within 2 to 3 weeks of the usage. Some women experience relief as quickly as 72 hours after their first dose.
