Menopause Nutrition

The symptoms of menopause can be greatly affected by nutrition.

The challenges include increasing the level of calcium to combat osteoporosis,

developing a heart-healthy diet since women's risk for heart disease increases

as her estrogen levels decrease during this time.

Hot flashes, depression and weight-gain, bloating can be decreased with a proper diet.

This is perhaps the most nutritionally-challenging time in a woman's life,

and one's food choices can affect the quality of this natural transition.

There are nutritional alternatives to estrogen replacement therapy that have been developed

specifically to combat the uncomfortable symptoms associated with menopause.
