When is menopause?

Menopause is a physiological transition period for every female friend. During this period, many female friends may experience menopause or irritability. I hope you can pay attention to it. Generally, women enter menopause between the ages of 40 and 60, so if women want to successfully get pregnant, it is best to do so before the age of 40, as the chances of pregnancy and childbirth problems will be greater.

Menopause usually refers to the transition stage from fertility to infertility in women, and also refers to the period before and after menopause in women, generally determined to be 40 to 60 years old. Generally, menopause can only be confirmed as 12 consecutive months without menstruation. Natural menopause at the age of 40 or later is called physiological menopause, menopause after the age of 55 is called "late menopause", and menopause before the age of 40 is called "early menopause". Early menopause may be pathological menopause.

Although menopause is a natural physiological process and a necessary step for every woman, each person's symptoms may be more or less, mild or severe. From a nutritional point of view, it is better to pay attention to dietary health and mental health rather than drug treatment when dealing with the various symptoms that may occur during menopause. The ancients said: "If you eat and drink in moderation and have a regular daily routine, you can live to be a hundred years old." To go through menopause safely and smoothly. First, you must be in a good mood, second, you must have a regular life, and third, you must have a balanced diet.

Menopausal women are prone to obesity. It is reported that women often begin to develop obesity during adolescence, pregnancy, childbirth, miscarriage, menopause and menopause, which is related to the improvement of the endocrine environment. 1% of people are obese during menopause and postmenopause. This is because the endocrine system changes during menopause, causing the eating center to become disordered. As we age, our activity level decreases, and the body's energy consumption decreases accordingly, resulting in excess calories causing obesity, which can lead to sugar metabolism disorders and induce obesity. Obesity can lead to abnormal sugar metabolism, promote the formation and development of arteriosclerosis, and increase the incidence of cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to control diet during menopause, especially the intake of high fat and sugar. It is necessary to use contemporary nutritional knowledge, choose and arrange a reasonable and balanced diet, prevent premature aging, and prolong life.

Menopausal women should eat a light diet and avoid heavy flavors. This is because a decrease in estrogen levels in the body can often cause hypercholesterolemia, which further promotes the occurrence of arteriosclerosis. According to statistics, the incidence of arteriosclerosis is lower in young women than in men, but it increases significantly during menopause. Therefore, during this period, you should pay more attention to the intake of dietary fat and cholesterol. Eat less or no foods rich in cholesterol and saturated fatty acids. Choose vegetable oils, such as rapeseed oil and sunflower oil, eat cornmeal and vegetables, fruits, lean meat, fish and other foods low in cholesterol, and eat more soy products, such as tofu, tofu pudding, soy milk, and dried tofu, because they are good plant proteins.
