(HealthDay News) - If hot flashes and other symptoms of menopause are cramping your style, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services offers these suggestions:
  • Eat a healthy, balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats.
  • Get plenty of regular exercise.
  • Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) may help certain women, but it carries medical risks. Discuss HRT with your doctor.
  • Foods rich in soy may help some side effects, such as hot flashes.
  • Get plenty of sleep, and maintain a regular sleep schedule.
  • Avoid caffeine and alcohol.
