Fish Oil Fast Fact #56: Fight Menopause Without Medication

Every woman knows it’s coming, they just don’t know exactly when. Menopause occurs when the body stops making certain hormones and compounds that it made when you were younger. The results can range from changes in mood to dramatic changes in your physical appearance and abilities. Many women try to stave off the effects of menopause with medications, but these medicines can cause serious side effects and sometimes do not even work.

Now, there is a better way. Studies have shown that fish oil capsules, a daily dietary supplement that helps balance out your body’s nutritional needs, can alleviate and even eliminate the symptoms of menopause even the mood swings and hot flashes (American Family Physician Jul 2002, vol. 6, no. 1: 129-34). Because omega 3 helps the brain work more efficiently and is an anti-inflammatory, it attacks the symptoms of menopause from multiple angles. So break out the fish oil and stop sweating today!
