6. Consume Soy-Based Foods
Soy is one of the top foods for many women to help relieve hot flashes symptoms and reduce the number of hot flashes they experience. Soy-rich foods include tofu, edamame, tempeh, and soy-based meat substitutes. Soy is high in isoflavones, a type of phytoestrogen compound that is thought to help with menopause symptoms because it acts like estrogen. Because estrogen levels drop significantly during menopause, eating foods rich in phytoestrogens can help alleviate symptoms.
