When you say drink less coffee, is this normal coffee or is de-caff coffee okay?

It is really both, there are other chemical compounds in coffee that can cause problems as well as the caffeine, if you feel that you do need a coffee try to get organic. Coffee and chocolate are probably the most chemically sprayed crops on the planet and some of these chemicals will end up in the finished product so the less chemical overload you get the better.

As well as coffee, there are a few other drinks to be careful of during menopause. You can find out more about them in my blog '5 drinks that can upset your menopause'.
