The Hot Flash Diet™ offers a dietary approach to quell peri-menopausal hot flashes and night sweats. It is based on the Traditional Chinese Medicine concept that each food has a thermal quality: “hot,” “warm,” “neutral,” “cool,” or “cold.” Generally, persons with hot flashes should avoid “hot” foods, eat fewer “warm” foods, and consume more “neutral,” “cool,” and “cold” foods. A food’s thermal property is not intuitive, and this information not easily accessible—until now.
The Hot Flash Diet™ provides guidance on choosing foods & beverages, menu planning, eating out, and “cooling out” preferred “warm” or “hot” foods that you love. Color-coding informs food lists and recipes to help you prepare “cooler” dishes. You can also use the diet in conjunction with other hot flash remedies to boost their effectiveness. Additional chapters detail current knowledge about hot flashes and the menopause transition as well as offer recommendations on feeling well while navigating “the change.”
