New book called Food for Menopause – Dr Linia Patel

With this book I wanted to create a toolkit for women in their 40’s and beyond. A bible almost to help them understand what is going on, but more importantly to give them practical and effective strategies to make the journey not one to be feared, but one to be embraced. So manage symptoms but make the next 40 as good as the first 40!

There are four parts to the book

Part 1: Getting to know your needs. Understanding the changes and why it’s happening and how to deal with it can make the whole process a lot less frustrating.

Part 2: Eating for success. Learn the 4 nutritional pillars for success.

Part 3: Living for success: It’s not just about what you eat. But how well you manage stress, how you sleep and how you move.

Part 4. Recipes for success. Delicious recipes split up into easy weekday meals and then weekend meals. Day meals cooked with less than 10 ingredients and under 30 minutes. All nutritious and absolutely delicious. All recipes are nutritionally balanced containing hero ingredients that science shows are good additions.

Top tips on how you can adjust the recipe to suit your dietary needs.

Things like

·     Apple & carrot muffins

·     Dark chocolate crunch bars

·     One pan chicken fajita bake

·     Thai style salmon with a pomegranate salsa

·     Chocolate olive oil cake

I am so excited about this book. I can’t wait for women to read it, use the tips, try the recipes and most importantly learn how to work with their bodies.

Aliya Porter Shortlisted for Community Nutrition Professional of the Year 2023 with CN Magazine.

Aliya Porter Shortlisted for Community Nutrition Professional of the Year 2023 with CN Magazine.

She was nominated by Zoe Griffiths with the following nomination:

“Aliya uses her nutrition skills well beyond her paid work. She is quick to share expertise about nutrition with colleagues, politicians, and other professionals for the benefit of health, particularly championing those who are vulnerable. Examples of groups she has championed include children who are looked after and carers (2 groups which are often overlooked when it comes to food). Her work with carers includes working in partnership with a local charity Carers Manchester to run healthy eating workshops. She then went above and beyond to interview carers for lived experience stories to share with the wider profession.

She campaigns for healthy food for all children, supporting the call for universal free school meals in schools and nurseries. She also campaigns for the reduction in processed meat in the meals of children in order toreduce health inequalities, for example supporting the World Cancer Research Fund Great Sarnie Swap.

She is active on social media, promoting simple, affordable and unpressured ways to feed children and adults. She supports the work of the local Maternity Voices Partnership and other strategic partnerships in order toraise the profile of nutrition from pregnancy right through to adolescence. This has included creating free downloadable resources on nutrition in pregnancy, early years nutrition, and reducing the fuel we use when cooking. She makes a point of being available in the community to answer questions about nutrition whether it is whilst running a local toddler group as a volunteer, in social media groups or at the school gate.”
