Guest guest Posted March 19, 2003 Report Share Posted March 19, 2003 " JoAnn Guest <angelprincessjo " <angelprincessjo Fri Jan 31, 2003 6:24 pm Boron-rich Foods This list comes from a book called " Eat Well For A Healthy Menopause " written by Elaine Magee. Would you believe it's the first book I bought after surgery when I was first able to leave the house. I was searching for some ways to get through surgical menopause 100% NATURALLY! This is when I began learning how foods heal the body and tend to keep it at optimal health, despite what we may suffer from, disease or surgery which increases our risk for future health problems. I believe surgical menopause will increase a cascade of effects leading to ill health problems for women especially, if we don't learn how foods play a valued role in our health. In my own life, I know it was/is the foods I eat, including herbs that increased my health and well-being. Never underestimate the power of foods!

It doesn't matter what stage of your life you are in, phytoestrogens are GOOD estrogens and will help balance natural body estrogens, unlike *chemical* estrogens(HRT). > > Before menopause isoflavonoids act as antiestrogens and inhibit estrogen synthesis. During and after menopause, isoflavonoids act as *weak* estrogens when estrogen is not produced by the body. > > Boron has been shown to double levels of circulating serum estrogen in postmenopausal women and will decrease the amount of *calcium* being *excreted* by 40%.
