Crucial diet tips during menopause

Menopause is a natural condition that women experience as they age, usually between the ages of 45 and 55, marking the end of their reproductive age. With age, ovaries produce less estrogen and progesterone, the two main reproduction hormones. Because of this, a woman’s period becomes irregular, heavier or lighter than usual and the duration between periods becomes longer before disappearing altogether.

Menopause is characterised by many unpleasant symptoms which vary from woman to woman, including mood swings, insomnia, low libido, headaches, hot flashes, fatigue, decreased bone density, thin dry hair and dry wrinkled sin. A healthy diet coupled with physical activity can help alleviate these symptoms and ease the transition.
