Cool The Hot Flush

“ The Hot Flashes,” an upcoming movie starring Daryl Hannah (51), Brooke shields (47) and Wanda sykes (48) as members of a middle-age  basketball team may seem pretty cool.

But when it coms to the estrogen rollercoaster that hits most women in their 40s, and ends with menopause around age 51, hot flashes are sweaty, sleep-disturbing interruptions to every day life and romance.

Now a new study shows a drug free way to chill out! The study recommends an ultralow saturated – and trans fat diet loaded with veggies, fruits and whole grains – and if you’re over weight, lose at least 10 per cent of your weight. So here is todays’s cool –the –hot –flush news flash:

1.       Raspberry ketone, the chemical that makes this fruit smell so good, may help. Use a supplement to get 100 mg a day.

2.       Jump-start weight loss with the 90/10 rule. For seven days, make 90 per cent of what you eat veggies, fruits, seeds and nuts, beans and whole grains. The other 10 per cent? Healthy oils, skinless poultry  and fish, and no-fat dairy.

3.       Boost Your metabolism by eating every three hours- three meals plus two healthy snacks a day. Eat within an hour of walking up and not after 8:00 p.m.
