Will not eating during menopause be good

Menopausal symptoms may not improve due to deliberate avoidance of food, but may worsen discomfort due to nutritional deficiencies. Menopause is a natural stage of ovarian dysfunction in women, which requires a scientific diet to alleviate symptoms. If menopausal women deliberately reduce their food intake for a long time, it may lead to insufficient intake of protein, calcium, and vitamins, accelerate bone loss, and cause muscle decay. The decrease in estrogen levels itself will affect calcium absorption. If there is a lack of calcium rich foods such as dairy and soy products, the risk of osteoporosis will significantly increase. Meanwhile, insufficient calorie intake can exacerbate vasomotor symptoms such as hot flashes and fatigue, and some women may experience increased emotional fluctuations. When a small number of women need to restrict their diet due to metabolic abnormalities or digestive system diseases, they should adjust their dietary structure under the guidance of a doctor. For example, patients with diabetes need to control carbohydrates, but need to increase the intake of high-quality protein and dietary fiber; People with chronic gastritis should avoid spicy and stimulating foods, but still ensure the supply of easily digestible proteins such as fish and eggs. This type of special situation requires individualized plans to be developed through nutritional assessment, rather than simply reducing food intake.

It is recommended that menopausal women maintain a balanced diet, consuming 300-500 grams of vegetables and 200-350 grams of fruits daily, and appropriately increasing foods rich in plant estrogens and omega-3 fatty acids such as soy products and deep-sea fish. Simultaneously engaging in moderate exercise such as brisk walking and yoga can help alleviate anxiety and maintain bone density. If severe symptoms such as hot flashes and insomnia occur, seek medical evaluation to determine whether hormone replacement therapy is needed. Do not intervene in physiological changes through dieting on your own.
