If you want to live a healthy life after menopause? So you need to pay attention to diet. It is especially important to add calcium to the daily diet because calcium deficiency increases rapidly after menopause. Calcium deficiency weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. Just as calcium is essential for children, calcium nutrition is important for women after menopause. Calcium is useful not only for the development of the body but also for the proper functioning of every part of the body. Why should women pay special attention to calcium intake after menopause?

What is monopause?

Menopause is when women stop menstruating and have gone 12 months without menstruation. Menopause occurs in women at the age of 40 or 50.

According to a report, when women go through menopause, the production of estrogen hormone decreases in the body, so the ability to absorb calcium from food decreases.

Increased risk of fracture.

After menopause, the risk of bone fractures increases in women. This condition is called 'osteoporosis'. In the five years after menopause, 10 percent of women begin to lose bone mass, increasing the risk of bone fractures.

How much calcium should be taken?

Calcium supplements can be taken on doctor's advice. To prevent this problem, women between the ages of 17 and 70 should consume between 1000 and a maximum of 2000 mg of calcium. Cheese, yogurt, orange juice, edamame (green soybeans); Nuts, leafy vegetables and calcium rich foods can also be taken.
