3 Forgotten Foods To Beat Hot Flashes

Summer is approaching us, and honestly, no one is ready for those hot winds and sweaty weather. The environment around us changes to a much dry and humid one; our bodies also undergo many changes. One of the things that many people face during this time is the intense and sudden feeling of warmth in the upper body. Has it ever happened to you? If yes, then allow us to tell you that those could be hot flashes. As per a research , "Hot flashes are defined as transient sensations of heat, sweating, flushing, anxiety, and chills lasting for 1-5 minutes." Usually, for women going through menopause, hot flashes are a common thing. So, if you have been experiencing these hot flashes too, then nutritionist has just the solution. The nutritionist shared certain foods that can help beat hot flashes.

In the video, she explains what hot flashes are and their symptoms. She then mentions that "our bodies start feeling out of control, and we also have many other kinds of symptoms like skin pigmentation, loss of hair, loss of satiety, bloating, irritation and more."

After explaining this, she talks about the three foods one should add to their diet. First, she mentions kopra pak, also called nariyal barfi. She says, "Instead of eating other anti-oxidant rich foods like cocoa powder and all, nariyal barfi actually helps you a lot. You can have a piece of it around 11 AM or post-lunch. Coconut has essential fatty acids. These fatty acids help to regain energy. It also helps with sugar cravings. Coconut also has lauric acid that helps to calm down a person and gives them a feeling of nourishment." 

Secondly, she talks about local vegetable chutney with til. She says, "This chutney is made with ridge gourd skin and til. This will help introduce the good bacteria into your body and is good for bone mineral density." She continues to share, "Til can also help with pigmentation and acne. So, having this chutney can help with skin and hair issues along with gas, bloating and acidity."

Lastly, she talks about banana chips. "These are rich in micronutrients that we need. For instance, vitamin B6 helps calm down the nerves that can be found in these chips. This also helps with the salty cravings that one feels," says the nutritionist.

11 Foods Good For the Gut

While your digestive tract is able to digest just about any type of food you eat, certain processed foods and preparations (think fried food), not to mention lifestyle habits (think sedentary) mean that our stomachs don't always react well to what we eat. Certain foods, particularly fatty meat, should be avoided as they may cause an upset stomach. However, there are a number of foods that you can eat to promote good digestion and keep your system running smoothly.

Here are 11 foods you should include in your diet that are good for your gut:

                                                          

 1. Apples

Apples' vitamin C, vitamin A, folate, potassium, and phosphorous content make them a wonderful food for your digestive tract, offering a wealth of benefits from easing symptoms associated with constipation, to improving satiety. In addition, apples contain the compound pectin, which helps raise good bacteria in the gut, promoting the proper functioning of intestinal health.

2. Bananas

For proper functioning of bowel movements, snack on a banana. They alleviate symptoms associated with diarrhea and help restore the number of electrolytes and potassium lost during the passage of stools. Bananas are packed with fiber too, an essential nutrient for good digestion.

3. Beans

For a great source of fiber, look no further than a handful of beans. Health guidelines recommend that on average, you get up to 25 grams of fiber each day - and just one cup of beans serves up about 19 grams. Beans are low in fat too, making them an excellent food for your digestion.

4. Blueberries

 Blueberries contain a natural aspirin that helps reduce the tissue-damaging effects of chronic inflammation, thereby lessening pain. Blueberries also act as an antibiotic, blocking bacteria in the urinary tract, thereby preventing infections.

5. Cabbage

Cabbage contains anticancer and antioxidant compounds that help the liver break down excess hormones. Cabbage also helps cleanse the digestive tracts and neutralizes some of the damaging compounds found in cigarette smoke.

6. Carrots

These vibrant-colored root vegetables are good for your skin and your gut. They are packed with arabinogalactans - a powerful probiotic that supports good gut bacteria.

7. Chlorophyll-rich greens

Green fruits and vegetables rich in chlorophyll, promote healthy digestion. They help cleanse the colon and detoxify the liver. To reap the benefits, opt for leafy greens like spinach, cabbage, celery, sea vegetables, leeks, and peas.  

8. Garlic

Garlic helps cleanse harmful bacteria in the gut, intestinal parasites and viruses from the body, particularly from the blood and intestines. To reap its health benefits, opt for fresh garlic, not the powdered form.

9. Fermented foods

Fermented foods help offset the damage to your gut flora caused by environmental chemicals, pesticides, antibiotic drugs, processed foods, and other factors. Opt for foods like kimchi, kefir and kombucha tea.

10. Jerusalem artichokes

Jerusalem artichokes are packed with a fiber compound called inulin ( a type of dietary fiber), which is also a natural probiotic - in fact, between 14 to 19 percent of its weight is inulin.

11. Yogurt

Yogurt is packed with live cultures and other foods that contain probiotics, essential for a healthy digestive tract.
