Many women notice changes in muscle strength during menopause. As estrogen levels naturally decline, maintaining muscle becomes more challenging, making strength-building habits more important than ever.
The good news is that healthy lifestyle choices can help support muscle health. Surprise, right? Enjoying a variety of plant proteins such as beans, lentils, tofu and other legumes, along with regular resistance exercise, can help maintain strength and support healthy aging.
Whether you’re lifting weights, using resistance bands, practicing bodyweight exercises or simply staying active, pairing movement with nourishing whole plant foods is a simple way to help support your muscles throughout menopause.
Stay strong!
I started out over a decade ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
