Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric & Pineapple Smoothie To Soothes and Satisfy

anti-inflamatory-turmeric-pineapple-smoothie

Our recipes are perfect for everyone – especially women in pre-, peri- and post-menopause. 💙

Each one is packed with PPFF or protein, phytoestrogens, (healthy) fat and fibre to nourish your body naturally.

Plus they’re also anti-inflammatory and inspired by the Mediterranean Diet – delicious, balanced and designed to help you thrive.

Why PPFF?

PPFF works wonders for your body, the macronutrients protein, fat and fibre are essential particular in menopause. 

By keeping blood sugar stable and hunger hormones in check, it supports weight management while delivering essential nutrients. (Gotta love that!)

Phytoestrogens play a key role too – they gently mimic estrogen, supporting depleted receptors in midlife. 

There’s also compelling evidence that a plant-based diet  can minimise menopausal symptoms. Plus, research shows a plant-based diet can help ease menopausal symptoms. 

In fact, the European Menopause and Andropause Society backs the Mediterranean Diet for menopausal health and released a position statement on this.

And since inflammation can trigger joint pain, UTIs and more anti-inflammatory recipes are a smart choice.

Anti-Inflammatory Turmeric & Pineapple Smoothie

This smoothie is a powerhouse of goodness!

It’s packed with protein and healthy fats from almond milk and chia seeds, plus a serious nutrient boost from leafy spinach. 

Turmeric and black pepper are included for their anti-inflammatory benefits – black pepper helps activate curcumin, turmeric’s key compound. (Though more research is needed to confirm it full effects.)

And while pineapple is naturally high in fructose, it’s also rich in bromelain, and enzyme that may help reduce inflammation, support digestion and even relieve consitipation.

Sip, enjoy and nourish your body. 💙

Post-menopause


This is the time when menstruation is well and truly over, the ovaries have stopped producing high levels of sex hormones and for many ladies, perimenopause symptoms subside.

Estrogen has protective qualities and the diminished levels mean organs such as your brain, heart and bones become more vulnerable. It’s also a key lubricant so your lips may become drier, your joints less supple and your vagina might be drier. In addition, your thyroid, digestion, insulin, cortisol and weight may alter.

At this juncture, a woman might experience an increase in the signs of reduced estrogen but she should have a decrease of perimenopause symptoms. That said, some women will experience symptoms like hot flushes for years or even the rest of their lives.

Perimenopause

Peri = ‘near’

Most females begin to experience the symptoms of perimenopause in their mid-forties. Your progesterone levels decline from your mid-30s but it’s generally from around 40 that the rest of your sex hormones begin to follow suit. 

Perimenopause is a different experience for every woman and some women may barely notice it. The first indicators are usually changes to the monthly cycle. This means that for some ladies, this can be accompanied by things like sore breasts, mood swings, weight gain around the belly, and fatigue as time goes on.

For those with symptoms it can be a challenging time physically, mentally and emotionally.

Importantly, perimenopause lasts – on average – four to 10 years. The transition is usually a gradual process and many women enter perimenopause without realising.
