It’s con rmed 12 months a er your last period. But the transition and symptoms associated with menopause can last for several years. While menopause is linked to many uncomfortable symptoms and increases your risk for certain diseases, consuming certain foods may help reduce your symptoms and ease the transition. During the transition to menopause and beyond, your levels of the hormone oestrogen begin to decline, disrupting your usual cyclical patterns of oestrogen and progesterone. Declining oestrogen levels can negatively a ect your metabolism, potentially leading to weight gain. ese changes may also a ect your cholesterol levels and your digestion of carbohydrates. Many women experience could lead to around 7kg (15lb) weight loss in a year, and also reduce the risk of heart disease. From the age of about 35, we slowly lose calcium from our bones. Losing oestrogen during menopause increases the rate of loss, which can increase the risk of osteoporosis. Taking HRT helps to maintain oestrogen levels and protect bone health. ere are also lots of nutrients that help to keep bones healthy, so it’s important to have a balanced diet. Choose a variety of foods and consume plenty of fruit, vegetables and dairy foods as these are a source of calcium. However HRT is not for everyone, so eating the right diet, adding supplements if necessary, following a high protein diet, and eating foods rich in phytoestrogens (natural plant compounds that are structurally similar to oestrogen) is essential to ensure you future proof your body and maintain a healthy body well in to your twilight years.
