Notes
Mediterranean food is known for being hearty and packed with good quality protein such as salmon, that is high in omega 3 fatty acids which helps regulate female hormones by reducing inflammation in conditions such as PCOS, regulating the menstrual cycle and reducing symptoms relating to perimenopause and menopause. Mediterranean cuisine is also packed with fresh produce, herbs and garlic that all boost the micronutrient & antioxidant content of dishes.
Healthy eating does not mean you have to eat salads all the time. The Mediterranean diet is considered to be one of the healthiest and is associated with less obesity, dementia and heart attack rates, and also reduced risk of menopause symptoms.
