Sihaiwang: menopause is a watershed for women's health. There are many symptoms of menopause, such as mild depression, anxiety or cognitive impairment, and even estrogen deficiency, which are caused by the decline of ovarian function and the decrease of estrogen secretion. Women at this time, if they can survive menopause smoothly, will reduce the incidence of some diseases.
The main characteristic of menopause is the decrease of estrogen in the body. It is precisely because of the gradual decrease of estrogen content that increases the risk of various diseases after menopause. After menopause, the risk of cardiovascular disease rises to the same level as men. Calcium levels in the human body began to peak in their 30s, and calcium loss began to appear in the following years. The older you get, the more calcium you lose. The incidence rate of osteoporosis in women after menopause is higher than that in men. The reason is that the estrogen level in the body has decreased after menopause.
If women want to get through menopause better, they should pay more attention to making some adjustments in their diet. For example, women should prevent osteoporosis in advance, and properly supplement themselves with calcium, vitamin D and high-quality protein. Proper exercise can also increase the absorption rate of calcium, so that they can stay away from osteoporosis as far as possible.
Women can often drink soy milk or eat soy products, soy products contain soy isoflavones, also known as phytoestrogens. Soybean isoflavone can improve menopausal symptoms; for the elderly women due to menopausal syndrome caused by osteoporosis, soybean isoflavone can improve bone mineral content and bone density, promote bone metabolism. The most important is the antimutagenic effect of soybean isoflavones, which can inhibit the activity of tyrosine protein kinase, thus inhibiting the occurrence of breast cancer, prostate cancer and colorectal cancer.
Women tend to be sentimental, especially in menopause, with more confused thoughts. Therefore, menopausal women should increase the intake of B vitamins. B vitamins, also known as happy vitamins, participate in the energy metabolism of the human body and help to improve the symptoms of menopause such as restlessness and bad temper.
