Nutrition

Why nutrition is so important:

Nutrition plays a vital role in the well-being of perimenopausal and menopausal women, offering a pivotal means of navigating the array of changes and challenges that accompany this significant life stage.
As hormonal shifts occur, women face an increased risk of weight gain, bone density loss, heart disease, and mood fluctuations. A balanced and nutrient-rich diet becomes essential to mitigate these risks and support overall health.
Ensuring an adequate intake of protein, calcium and vitamin D is crucial for building and maintaining lean muscle and preserving bone health.
Incorporating foods rich in phytoestrogens, can help alleviate menopausal symptoms like hot flushes and mood swings.
Focusing on nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains will provide the necessary vitamins and minerals to support energy levels, cognitive function, and mood stability during this transitional phase of life.
