SNACK SMART

If you think snacking is just a guilty pleasure, think again.

During perimenopause and menopause, smart snacking can be a game-changer.

First, try ‘strength snacking’ with 5-10 minutes of squats, lunges or wall push-ups throughout the week. Small bursts of movement soon add up.

For food, keep it simple: focus on lean protein, healthy fats, and foods rich in calcium and vitamin D to help nourish muscles and bones as your body changes.

A few smart choices each day can make all the difference.
