Menopause is a transitional period from maturity to aging and a turning point in the process of aging. Female menopause is generally 45-50 years old. In order to help women through this special period, the author reminds them to spend menopause reasonably and scientifically. The author believes that menopausal women should pay attention to the following aspects:

Increase protein food.

Of the more than 20 kinds of amino acids necessary for human body, 8 kinds cannot be synthesized by human body and need to be obtained from food, especially dairy products, eggs, lean meat, fish and soybeans. This food can effectively relieve menopausal discomfort.

Moderate intake of carbohydrates

Rice, flour, beans, fruits, vegetables and plant roots are rich in carbohydrates. Carbohydrate is the source of providing heat, and the excess is converted into fat and stored.

Supplementing foods containing vitamins

Vitamins exist in milk, eggs, meat, beans, fruits, grains, fish and other foods. Because 25% of menopausal women suffer from osteoporosis and lack of bone protein and bone calcium, it is very necessary to supplement calcium food. Milk has the highest calcium content and is easy to be absorbed and utilized. Getting into the habit of drinking 1 to 2 cups of milk every day is very helpful to prevent menopausal fractures.

Eat more foods rich in omega-3 fats, and eat more flaxseed, which contains linolenic acid and omega-3 fatty acids. Moreover, lignans contained in flaxseed are phytoestrogens, which can delay menopause and prevent breast cancer and uterine cancer.
