October is observed as Menopause Awareness Month, and this year, its theme is 'Chronic Pain at Midlife.'
The Cleveland Clinic suggests the following foods to avoid hot flashes.
Berries like blueberries, blackberries and strawberries reduce inflammation and support hormone balance.
Salmon, flaxseeds, chia seeds, avocados, herring and other fish high in Omega-3 fatty acids can provide relief from night sweats and hot flashes.
Fruits like watermelon, pears, cucumbers, carrots, bananas and apples may also reduce the temperature of hot flashes.
Meanwhile, ultra-processed foods, caffeinated drinks, alcohol and spicy foods can worsen hot flashes.
