Did you know that according to research, it is proven that Black women endure more in their menopausal stages compared to women of other races? The symptoms they experience are also usually stronger and last for a longer period in comparison to other women. Menopause is a normal occurrence for women approaching midlife. It is inevitable, along with the changes women are about to experience in their bodies that may also affect how they perceive themselves. It is a stressful period for women because for some, the way they see themselves or their role in their families or society changes because of the physical changes they’re going through. As several studies show, systematic racism plays a major role in why Black women have a harder and longer time dealing with menopause as compared to other races. It is not easy to change the attitude of society, but Black women can do something to help with their symptoms to better their health. One of these is through an effective diet plan, the Menopause Diet, along with a workout program that will help alleviate the symptoms of menopause.
