Charlotte Roycroft-Davis explains how a Mediterranean diet promotes weight loss without restriction and lowers risks of cognitive decline, cancer, heart disease, and stroke. It's especially helpful during perimenopause and menopause because plant estrogens and fiber help stabilize hormone levels naturally.
The Mediterranean way of eating is one of the best ways to help you lose weight, and it doesn't involve dieting. It's also amazing for your overall health. Multiple studies have shown that people who eat this way have a lower risk of cognitive decline, cancer, heart disease, stroke, and a higher chance of losing weight. But it's especially supportive of women's health. Particularly as we enter perimenopause and the menopause. And this is because the foods that you eat are low in fat, high in fibre, and rich in plant estrogens and vitamins which help naturally stabilise oestrogen levels. So by boosting your body's oestrogen levels through your diet in this way, you reduce its need to produce more fat cells, which it does to create oestrogen.
