The All-Natural Menopause Diet: The Drug-Free, Natural Way to Beat Your Symptoms and Lose Weight (Pegasus, $14.95) explains how dietary changes can help alleviate hot flashes (avoid spicy and acidic foods), boost libido (consume enough zinc, selenium and vitamins A and B) and fight fat (try apples, lean turkey and oatmeal). Authors Theresa Cheung and Dr. Adam Balen also include sample recipes, such as mixed-grain porridge and spinach/tofu salad, to ease symptoms.
