Understanding nutrition
The importance of healthy diet during the menopause cannot be stressed too highly and a strong effort should be made to include only natural, wholesome foods in the diet. Nutrition is the study of how food and drink affect our bodies with special regard to the essential nutrients necessary to support human health. These nutrients, which are the source of energy for our bodies, are classed as: carbohydrates, fats, fibre, minerals, proteins, vitamins, and water. Good nutrition means obtaining the right amount of nutrients from healthy foods in the right combinations.

Optimise the benefits of vitamins through natural food.
Menopause vitamin therapy
Mega vitamin therapy may prove beneficial during the menopause with particular emphasis being given to vitamin B complex which can alleviate many of the nervous disorders experienced during this time and also to calcium, which aside from its value in maintaining the health of the nervous system, is of paramount importance in strengthening the bones and preventing osteoporosis.
Menopause minerals
Many vitamins and minerals interact with each other and certain pairs work to create beneficial nutrient synergy, so it’s important to know which work together otherwise you’ll never optimise the benefits. Let’s take a look at calcium which can be difficult for women to absorb during the menopause because of the lowering of oestrogen levels, so it needs to be supported with the intake of magnesium, phosphorus and Vitamin D.
