Reduce Weight & Hot Flashes with Vegan Diet

Plant-based diets are good for you for lots of reasons. Here’s a new one that women will want to pay attention to!

In this new study, 84 postmenopausal women who experienced 2 or more moderate-to-severe hot flashes a day either followed a vegan diet that included half a cup of cooked soybeans a day or their regular diet for 12 weeks.

In the control group, moderate-to-severe hot flashes went down by 34%, but in the vegan group, they went down by 88%. Severe hot flashes went down by 92% in the vegan group but did not change significantly at all in the control group.

And can a vegan diet help you lose weight? While the women in the control group saw their weight go down by about 0.2 kg, the women in the vegan group lost about 3.6 kg.
