Menopause Nutrition: Meal Prep Inspiration

Self-care plays an essential role in managing menopause symptoms. Bev Kemp, menopause coach, frequently highlights the pillars of health during menopause: exercise and nutrition. Incorporating nutrient-dense meals is a significant component of this balance.

For her meal prep, Bev often turns to one of her favourite cookbooks by Registered Dietitian Desiree Nielsen: "Good for Your Gut: A Plant-based Digestive Health Guide." This book features colourful and beautiful meals that support digestive health.

For your meal prep inspiration, check out one of Bev’s go-to creations, from Nielsen’s book: Sticky Sesame Tofu. Tomato paste provides an extra antioxidant boost while the greens make it a healthy staple.

Getting adequate sleep, engaging in physical activity, and spending time with loved ones also play crucial roles in helping women manage menopause symptoms.
