    Here are the essential nutrients for menopause, according to New Hampshire-based nutritionist Melissa Azzaro.

    1. Fiber

    Fiber is important during menopause, as it supports heart health, helps regulate blood sugar levels, and is good for the digestive system.

    2. Protein

    Protein helps maintain muscle mass as we age, increasing mobility and bone health. It also helps keep you feeling full and stabilizes blood sugar levels.

    3. Omega-3 fatty acids

    Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in health, especially during menopause. Omega-3 has anti-inflammatory properties, helps reduce joint pain, stiffness and contributes to heart health by helping to regulate blood pressure levels.

    4. Calcium

    During menopause, the body's estrogen levels drop significantly, leading to a decrease in bone density. Therefore, calcium supplementation can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis and maintain bone strength.

    5. Magnesium

    Magnesium helps increase the absorption of vitamin D and calcium into bones. In addition, magnesium also contributes to improving sleep quality.
