Nutrition for women is important. Our Dietitian highlights Nutrition in Menopausal Women 🌺

Menopause is defined as the permanent end of menstrual cycles1, and is associated with increase prevalence of obesity, metabolic syndrome (high blood pressure, high blood sugar levels, high cholesterol and obesity), cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis in women2. Among the various aspects of lifestyle changes during the postmenopausal period, changes to nutrition behaviours is essential as it concerns all women, can help to minimise the risk of developing chronic diseases, and has lasting impacts on both longevity and quality of life.

Current research suggests that following a low-fat, plant-based diet is associated with beneficial effects on lowering fat mass, however more research is required in the menopausal population. On the other hand, following a Mediterranean diet in addition to other healthy lifestyle habits may help to lower the risk of developing osteoporosis, metabolic syndrome and cardiovascular disease in menopausal women. The Mediterranean diet is primarily made up of foods that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects which are associated with significant decreases in blood pressure, fat mass and cholesterol levels.

Seeing an Accredited Practising Dietitian can help to gain a better understanding of how menopause affects the women’s body and health, and can work collaboratively to establish personalised nutrition strategies to help meet health goals.
