Creating a perimenopausal and postmenopausal diet chart can greatly help in reducing the negative effects of hormonal changes such as hot flashes, osteoporosis, and heart disease. Below is a sample diet chart with pictures (which I’ll generate) and a breakdown of what to eat and why.
🌿 Menopause-Friendly Diet Plan
Goal: Reduce hot flashes, support bone health, and lower heart disease risk
🕘 Daily Meal Chart (with food images)
I'll generate images for each meal. Here's the meal plan first:
1. Early Morning (7:00 AM)
Warm water + 1 tsp flaxseeds or soaked fenugreek seeds
1 cup herbal tea (e.g., chamomile or green tea)
Helps flush toxins, balances hormones naturally
2. Breakfast (8:30 AM)
Oats or multigrain porridge with chia seeds & almonds
1 boiled egg or tofu scramble
1 orange or kiwi (vitamin C for bone health)
Rich in fiber, protein, calcium & antioxidants
3. Mid-Morning Snack (11:00 AM)
1 bowl of fruit salad (papaya, berries, or apple)
Handful of walnuts or flaxseed crackers
Good fats support hormone balance & reduce hot flashes
4. Lunch (1:00 PM)
Multigrain roti or brown rice
Leafy greens (spinach, methi, kale) sabzi
Paneer or rajma/chickpeas
Low-fat curd or raita
Calcium, iron, protein support bones, prevent anemia
5. Evening Snack (4:30 PM)
Roasted makhana (fox nuts) or sprouts chaat
Herbal tea (like hibiscus or peppermint)
Lowers cholesterol and blood pressure
6. Dinner (7:00–7:30 PM)
Quinoa or millet khichdi
Grilled vegetables or tofu
A bowl of warm vegetable soup (broccoli, pumpkin, carrot)
Light, anti-inflammatory, aids sleep & digestion
7. Bedtime (9:30 PM)
1 cup warm turmeric milk (with plant-based milk if lactose intolerant)
Supports bone strength & calms hot flashes
