Nutritional Role in Menopause Transition
Nutrition plays a key role during the menopause transition, helping to manage symptoms and support overall health. A diet rich in calcium and vitamin D is essential for maintaining bone density, which often declines during menopause. Incorporating phytoestrogens, found in soy and flaxseeds, may help balance hormone levels and reduce hot flashes. Omega-3 fatty acids from fish or flax seeds can support heart health, as menopause increases cardiovascular risk. A balanced intake of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains helps manage weight and reduces the risk of chronic conditions like diabetes and heart disease during this transition. Proper hydration and limiting caffeine or alcohol can also help manage symptoms such as hot flashes and mood swings.
