Nutrition for postmenopausal women

Below you will find some basic guidelines that help guide nutritional choices. While this might make for a radical departure for some, it is worth experimenting with diet to determine how a more balanced diet can help you lead a more balanced life.

• Bone health: vitamin D, calcium and magnesium are all important ingredients for maintaining bone density and preventing the onset of conditions like osteoporosis.
• Establish balance in your diet: healthy grains, and the incorporation of plenty of vegetables and fruits daily.
• Choose healthy fats: mono and polyunsaturated fat as opposed to trans and saturated fats.
• Anti-inflammatory ingredients help with autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis.
• And what to avoid: excessive caffeine intake, cigarettes, sugar and bad fats.
