After a lovely Easter break and too much chocolate!! Time to do a healthy Menopause post!

Great recipe - Seedy Nutty Bread
This bread toasts really well and is a good gluten-free option. It is full of fibre, plant protein and polyphenols, making it great for your gut health as well as providing a variety of nutrients found in the seeds and nuts.

Ingredients (makes 1 loaf):
70g (2½oz) pumpkin seeds
70g (2½oz) sunflower seeds
50g (1¾oz) sesame seeds
100g (3½oz) ground almonds
100g (3½oz) buckwheat flour
100g (3½oz) gluten-free oats
50g (1¾oz) flax seeds
2 tablespoons psyllium husks
2 tablespoons ground chia seeds
1½ teaspoons salt 50ml (2fl oz) olive oil
2 tablespoons maple syrup 500ml (18fl oz) water
Method:
- Preheat the oven to 170°C (340°F/gas mark 3½). Line a 900g (2lb) loaf tin with baking parchment.
- Roast the pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds and sesame seeds on a baking tray for 10–15 minutes or until the seeds are lightly coloured. Leave to cool and mix in a large bowl with the remaining dry ingredients.
- Whisk the remaining (wet) ingredients together and pour into the dry. Beat well to combine. Pour into the lined loaf tin. Cover and leave overnight in the fridge.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F/gas mark 6).
- Remove the loaf from the fridge and allow it to come up to room temperature. Bake for 50 minutes–1 hour. Leave to cool on a wire rack before slicing. This loaf keeps for a few days in an airtight container.
Great with Avocado - yum!!

So, this is my hand every morning. Trigger finger I am told, but it honestly just arrived overnight late last year. Now its every night, and another thing to disturb my sleep! Very stiff and sore to try and straighten them, a hot shower helps.

I believe it is just another Menopause symptom. The timing is too perfect for it not to be. Another muscle ache and pain!

Ok! Time to get real. What’s the one menopause symptom that’s driving you the most crazy right now? 👇 (Hot flashes, sleep issues, mood swings—bring it on!)"

For me it is muscles aches and pain, plus sleep issues - as both go hand in hand!
