Frequently Asked Questions
Why does menopause cause weight gain?
Declining estrogen shifts fat storage to the abdomen, metabolism slows, and muscle mass decreases. Calorie needs drop 200-300 per day.
What nutrients are critical during menopause?
Calcium (1200mg) and Vitamin D (800-1000 IU) for bones, protein (1.0-1.2g/kg) for muscle, omega-3s for heart and brain health.
Can diet help with hot flashes?
Some women find relief by avoiding triggers (alcohol, caffeine, spicy foods) and eating phytoestrogen-rich foods like soy and flaxseed.
How much protein do menopausal women need?
Higher protein (1.0-1.2g per kg) helps preserve muscle mass and bone density. Distribute across meals for better absorption.
