Hot Flash Tip of the Week

When you eat:
  • chips and salsa
  • jalapeno peppers
  • food made with distilled vinegar
  • tabasco sauce
  • chili powder.... you get the idea!
These foods can cause your hot flashes to be hotter
AND last longer! Whew! You don't need that!
Even though the stuff tastes great, it's not worth
it. Your endocrine glands (ovaries, thyroid, adrenals,
pituitary, hypothalmus, parathyroid, pancreas)
suffer with the added burden of breaking down
such difficult foods.

When hot peppers such as jalapeno, cayenne, and
habanero are eaten on a daily or even weekly
basis, it certainly does its job. It makes your
food taste hotter, and makes you feel very warm.

These peppers are also high in many nutritive
healing qualities such as Vitamin C, vitamin A,
as well as building strong blood circulation
throughout the body. However, in my clinical
practice, I have found that the hot peppers
eaten during womens hot flash season, seems to
stimulate the hormone producing glands too
much.

Try this:
Take the above foods out of your eating regime
for 30 days. See how your hot flashes are effected.
On a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being very HOT), rate
your flashes. You should definitely see a difference!
