Perimenopausal women may have a new dietary ally in their struggles against hot flashes and high blood pressure: soy nuts.

In her study of 61 women, funded by the National Institutes of Health, Welty found that the women in the group who consumed a daily serving of a half cup of dry-roasted, low-salt soy nuts for eight weeks experienced reductions in their blood pressure--and suffered fewer hot flashes. Cool.
