NATURAL REMEDIES FOR THE MENOPAUSE (6)
Folic Acid (Vitamin B9)
|
Did you know that folic acid, which is also known as vitamin B9, is an important nutrient for women during menopause? Here are some of the benefits and the foods that provide you with folic acid:
BENEFITS OF FOLIC ACID*
Bone health: Folic acid can help support bone health by aiding in the production of collagen, which is a key component of bone tissue. Collagen production decreases during menopause, which can increase the risk of bone fractures and osteoporosis.
Mood regulation: Folic acid is important for regulating mood and may help alleviate symptoms of depression and anxiety, which are common during menopause.
Heart health: Folic acid has been shown to help reduce the risk of heart disease, which is a leading cause of death in women.
Hormonal balance: Folic acid is involved in the production of estrogen and other hormones, which can help maintain hormonal balance during menopause.
Brain function: Folic acid plays a crucial role in brain function and may help improve cognitive function, including memory and concentration. It may even decrease the risk for Alzheimer`s.
Cancer prevention: Folic acid may help reduce the risk of certain types of cancer, including breast and ovarian cancer.

I think this soup is a great option for your Christmas dinners as you DON'T HAVE TO COOK it! Just chop, blend, heat, and serve! Plus, it is highly nutritious and very delicious! It looks beautiful as a starter due to its rich reddish-pink color!
This soup gives you phytoestrogens from the miso broth, garlic, and celery. It is high in antioxidants. Beetroot contains more nutrients cooked than raw! As it has good levels of vitamin C and potassium, it helps to control water retention. Red cabbage belongs to the family of highly beneficial cruciferous vegetables.
The recipe is from Marilyn Glenville’s book “Eating for the Menopause”.
