Explaining the symptoms and causes of hot flashes, the nutritionist, says "It is common for people who are in perimenopausal or menopausal stage to get hot flashes" Dealing with hot flashes can be tricky as you do not exactly have a control on them. A hot flash is a sudden sensation of warmth in your upper body - face, neck or chest and can be followed by a lot of sweating and palpitations. While many of us rarely experience them, their frequency may increase during perimenopausal or menopausal stage. Certain medical conditions, hot environment, a strenuous physical activity could also trigger hot flashes.

Rujuta Diwekar, celebrity nutritionist, and author of bestselling books like The 12-Week Fitness Project and Indian Superfoods, in an Instagram video shared with her followers 3 forgotten foods that could help one deal with this problem.

"Even when the AC is on, you break into a sweat, you feel palpitations, you feel like your face, neck, head, everything is just dripping with pearls of sweat," she says.

The nutritionist says that not only the hot flashes make one feel pretty much out of control with our body, it can also lead to other symptoms such as skin pigmentation, loss of hair and loss of satiety.
