Almonds for hot flashes

Vitamin E has long been established for helping many menopausal problems especially hot flushes, night sweats, palpitations and vaginal dryness.
One natural way to get Vitamin E from your diet is by getting it from almonds.

Almonds are an excellent nutrient-dense food to incorporate into a healthful diet.
Even though almonds are fairly calorific - 180 calories per ounce, substituting almonds for other less nutrient-dense foods is simple.

For example, replacing three foods with three tablespoons of almonds can boost the vitamin E content of your diet significantly, enabling the average American who only gets about half of the RDA to meet their full daily recommendation (15-mg alpha-tocopherol).
