Climax or menopause is a period of a woman's life in which many women experience changes in the body. Physiological changes in a woman's body and metabolism can affect the quality of sleep, as well as the regulation of body temperature and moodiness. Some women notice weight gain or changes in their hair and nails. However, each woman experiences these changes differently, so the course of this period is individualized.
Menopause is the end of the last menstrual period after which a woman does not have monthly bleeding. This usually occurs between the ages of 45 and 55. The one or two years preceding menopause and after menopause are the actual "change" and are called perimenopause. The phase when estrogen and gestagen levels gradually decrease and monthly bleeding, becomes more erratic is known as pre-menopause. Menopause ends with postmenopause, in which hormone levels slowly come into a new balance. On average, menopause takes approximately 10 years.
Good health and general well-being are very important to many women during menopause. New hormonal changes can alter the skin, for example, but this is a process that can be slowed down. The same goes for hair: as less estrogen is produced, hair tends to become loose, dry and brittle. Nails may also change and become brittle. Certain nutrients are especially important for a woman's body during this phase of life. Vitamin B6 helps regulate hormonal activity. Biotin, zinc and selenium contribute to the formation of normal skin. Selenium also helps to strengthen the nails. Vitamin C, vitamin D and zinc are important for normal bone function.
Although a lot of people watch their figure all the time, during menopause, some women gain weight. This weight gain is due to the intensity of the metabolism, in which the metabolism deteriorates. High quality foods as well as foods with minimal processing: fruits, vegetables, fish, skimmed dairy products, products made from unsifted flour and lean meats are the ideal balanced diet.
An adequate intake of micronutrients is extremely important during menopause, not only for good health and well-being, but also for a woman's appearance. Micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals (including trace elements) play a particularly important role in this phase of life. Selenium, vitamin C, vitamin E and zinc help to protect cells against oxidative oxidation.Vitamin B6 helps to regulate hormonal activity. Biotin, selenium and zinc are responsible for the beauty of hair, skin and nails. Vitamin C promotes normal collagen formation for normal skin and bone function. Vitamin D and zinc contribute to normal bone function.
The most important sources of phytoestrogens include isoflavonoids, most found in soy and flaxseeds. Soy-rich diets are common throughout Asia. Interestingly, women in Japan experience fewer menopausal signs. Evidence shows that a balanced combination of certain micronutrients can have a positive effect on the special needs of women during menopause.
