pain and inflammation
Inflammation occurs when the body’s pH is more acidic and is flooded with free-radicals..and it wreaks havoc within the body.
As we enter perimenopause it’s important to cut back on inflammatory foods and support our hormones.  Doing so will reduce symptoms of menopause.

To reduce inflammation and boost immunity in general, incorporate more anti-inflammatory foods in your diet and avoid things that cause inflammation and weaken the immune system.
