A new Japanese study published in the American Journal of Nutrition has found that drinking two glasses of tomato juice a day can help ease menopausal discomfort. In the new study, researchers at Tokyo Medical University in Japan had 93 women participants drink 200 ml of tomato juice twice a day for eight weeks, and measured other health data such as the participants’ heart rates. The results showed that all participants experienced significant improvements in typical menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes, irritability and anxiety. By the end of the study, overall menopausal symptoms were reduced by almost half in women who drank tomato juice consistently every day. In addition, the women consumed more calories at rest and their blood lipid levels dropped significantly. American gynecologist Susan Larker, Ph. According to Dr. Lark, earlier studies have shown that chemicals such as gamma-aminobutyric acid in tomato juice can have estrogen-like effects. The latest findings suggest that tomato juice intake is similar to hormone replacement therapy. In addition to tomato juice, carrot juice, celery juice and beet juice are also alkaline foods, and drinking one cup (about 200 ml) of these freshly squeezed vegetable juices in the morning and evening can help menopausal women reduce acidity in their bodies, thereby improving menopausal symptoms.
