Menopause Benefits

This Lemon-Garlic Salmon with Roasted Asparagus is a simple, elegant meal that delivers a powerful combination of nutrients for menopause support. Salmon is rich in omega-3 fatty acids and high-quality protein, which are linked to improved mood, cognitive function, and heart health. Asparagus provides fibre, folate, and antioxidants that help support digestion, bone health, and cellular repair. Olive oil and lemon juice add healthy fats and vitamin C, which can aid in the absorption of plant-based nutrients and support skin vitality.

This dish is light yet satisfying, making it ideal for maintaining energy and resilience during menopause.
