In recent years, medical experts have proved that some women who have gained weight, increased blood cholesterol and arteriosclerosis after menopause should pay attention to the following points in their diet:

(1) Control their weight, don't overeat every meal, properly limit their staple foods and eat more coarse grains. Eat less fried greasy food and sugary snacks and fruits. You can eat more green leafy vegetables to supplement vitamins C and B, improve vascular permeability and increase body resistance, so as to prevent the development of arteriosclerosis and reduce the formation of tumors.

(2) Vegetable oil should be used for cooking because most animal oils can increase cholesterol, and vegetable oil can not only promote cholesterol metabolism, but also supply a variety of unsaturated fatty acids, such as linolenic acid, linolenic acid and arachidonic acid. Among vegetable oils, sunflower seed oil, soybean oil, sesame oil and peanut oil are better.

(3) Restrict foods with high cholesterol, such as animal brains, roe, egg yolk, fat meat and animal internal organs. Protein can eat milk, lean meat, fish and shrimp, bean products, etc. Eat more fish and bean products, because bean products are rich in protein, and there are many kinds of inorganic salts and vitamins, such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamins B1 and B2. Unsaturated fatty acids contained in fish can change the structure of lipoproteins, increase the ratio of high-density lipoproteins, promote the metabolism of cholesterol, and prevent the formation of arteriosclerosis. It is the first choice of animal protein food for menopausal women.
