Menopause can be a tricky time for women but there are plenty of things they can try to relieve unfortunate symptoms.<\/p>\n
Positive Pause shared a tasty menopause-friendly pasta dish which is helpful for weight loss, digestion and reducing inflammation.<\/p>\n
Fennel, courgette and lemon pasta is a “scrumptious and healthy menopause pasta dish”.<\/p>\n
Positive Pause said: “Fennel has been shown to help with digestion by reducing inflammation in the bowels and decreasing bacteria that cause gassiness, so if you are experiencing digestive problems in perimenopause, this is a dish to try!”<\/p>\n
This delicious pasta dish takes just 10 minutes to prep and another 15 to cook, so makes for the perfect easy mid-week meal. The recipe serves four but quantities can be amended depending on party size.<\/p>\n
