Have you entered menopause?

Menopause announces the end of a woman's fertility. Menstruation stops and the woman's body produces less estrogen, causing hot flashes, mood swings and many other health problems. Osteoporosis, a disease characterized by decreased bone density and weakened bones, is very common in postmenopausal women. Why? This is because estrogen, a sex hormone important for maintaining bone health, decreases during menopause. People over 65 years of age, at risk of fractures, in menopause or suffering from a disease that can negatively affect bone health should have a bone mineral density test done by a specialist.

But then, how can a nutritionist help you reduce your risk of osteoporosis? Some recommendations such as an adequate intake of calcium and vitamin D, a restricted amount of sodium, alcohol and caffeine and avoiding smoking can optimize bone health. The advice of a healthy eating expert will therefore be very useful. Contact us to ensure you maintain a good bone health and a good quality of life after menopause.
