Menopause is the cessation of the menstrual cycle or in broader terms, it marks the loss of ovarian follicular activity. During menopause, a woman undergoes various endocrine changes that characterize the progressive loss of ovarian function. The subsequent decrease in estrogen levels causes urogenital atrophy, bone loss, increased cardiovascular and metabolic risk. Other health issues commonly associated with menopause include obesity and osteoporosis. In order to overcome these problems, women need to focus on their dietary needs and nutrient requirements.
