Wenn wir an "gesunde Ernährung" denken, stehen bei uns Frauen in den Wechseljahren die Proteine im Vordergrund. Ballaststoffe hingegen werden nicht so viel besprochen – das Wort allein klingt schon schwer und wenig verlockend, eher nach trockener Kleie als nach Genuss. Dabei sind sie weit mehr als nur eine bloße Verdauungshilfe und können auch sehr gut schmecken.

“My skin suddenly felt dried out – no matter how much cream I used.” Many women describe their first skin changes during menopause in similar words. What used to feel soft, elastic, and easy to care for now feels dry, thinner, or more sensitive. Some notice small cracks, itching, or a feeling of tightness – often without immediately understanding the cause. What many don’t know: the skin is one of the organs that reacts particularly strongly to hormonal changes. Estrogen, in particular, plays a central role in the health and structure of the skin. As estrogen levels drop with the onset of menopause, a new phase also begins for the skin. If your skin changes, it’s not a sign of neglect – it’s the expression of a natural process. That’s why it’s all the more important to understand what’s happening in your body, the role hormones play, and how you can actively support your skin.

“My trousers suddenly didn’t fit anymore – even though I wasn’t eating more or exercising less.” This is a common sentiment shared by many women in midlife who face unexpected weight gain. Even more frustrating: familiar strategies like eating less or moving more seem to have less effect than they used to. Over 50% of women gain weight during menopause. Long-term studies show that this amounts to an average of 1.5 kg per year – leading to up to 10 kg by the end of the menopausal transition. But it's not just the weight itself – it's also about how fat is distributed: shifting from hips and thighs toward the abdominal area. This development isn't only a cosmetic issue – it has real health implications. At the same time, our perception of body image, weight, and beauty is heavily influenced by external ideals. Advertising, social media, and societal expectations set standards that rarely reflect real life. What’s important: there is no such thing as a single ideal figure. What matters is how you feel – and what your body needs to stay healthy.
