Menopause and Nutrition

Menopause is the point at which a woman stops ovulating and menstruation ceases, indicating end of fertility. Many years before a woman stops ovulating, her ovaries slows their production of the hormones estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Symptoms of menopause include night sweats, hot flashes, insomnia, anxiety, mood swings, headaches, changes in sex drive (libido) and changes in the menstrual cycle.

Avoid certain foods in your diet that make hot flashes worse such as tea, coffee, alcohol, Caffeine containing soft drinks and spicy foods. Smoking is associated with early menopause. With proper diet, nutritional supplements, and exercise, most of the unpleasant side effects of menopause can be minimized, if not eliminated. Boron, Calcium and Magnesium are just a few nutrients recommended.

A healthy premenopausal woman should have about 1,000 mgs of calcium per day. A 1994 Consensus Conference at the National Institutes of Health recommended that women after menopause consume 1,500 mgs per day, if they are not using hormonal replacement or 1,000 mgs per day in conjunction with hormonal replacement. If you are lactose intolerant, using mineral supplements are a safe alternative to consumption of dairy products.
