As we enter menopause many of the uncomfortable symptoms we experience come from a drop in oestrogen levels. As oestrogen  falls our periods become irregular alongside the build up of symptoms such as:

• Hot flashes and night sweats.
• Anxiety and depression.
• Low lidibo.
• Joint and muscle stiffness.
• Sleep problems.
• Urinary problems

Whilst you can blend Golden Goddess into water or juice to benefit from its nutritious ingredients, making it into tasty calcium and phytoestrogen rich bites really suports our health when feeling our of balance. 

Calcium

The long term effects of a drop in oestrogen during menopause can cause osteoporosis therefore a good daily intake of calcium is essential. Our bites contain both figs and sesame seeds that contribute to your calcium dose.

Phytoestrogens

Namely Isoflavines and lignans are similar in structre to our oestrogen and may be able to alleviate some of the symptoms associated with low oestrogen levels during perimenipause/menopause. Pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds are a good source of phytoestrogens. Flaxseeds are the richest source of lignans and have been shown to reduce night sweats and hot flashes. Some studies have shown that 40g of flaxseeds per day have similar effects to HRT!
