Craving a salty snack before bed? Turn to lightly salted edamame, says Dr. Dalton-Smith—especially if you’re dealing with menopause-related symptoms. “The natural estrogen-like compounds found in soy-based products can be very beneficial in controlling those nighttime hot flashes that can disturb your sleep,” she says. If it’s crackers and dip you’re craving, try making this easy edamame recipe: In a food processor, blend together 2 cups of shelled, cooked edamame with 1 tsp salt, a drizzle of olive oil and 1 clove garlic (optional) until smooth.

毛豆

在睡前，非常想吃咸食？那你吃些輕咸的毛豆吧，德塔.史密斯博士說，尤其是如果你處于更年期綜合癥，“豆制品中所發現的純天然的類雌激素化合物對控制干擾睡眠的夜間生理熱潮非常有益”她說，如果你非常想吃餅干和沾醬，（那還不如）試試做這道非常簡單的毛豆菜：在食品處理機上，將兩杯去殼的、煮過的毛豆與一茶匙鹽，少許橄欖汁和一瓣大蒜（備選）混和攪拌直到變成流質。
