Why is a special approach to nutrition important during menopause? Because at this time, the synthesis of sex hormones decreases or stops altogether.
“First of all, it is necessary to ensure the normal intake of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in the optimal ratio. With proteins, most women are very sad. More than half of them are deficient in protein and are not even aware of it!” the expert says.
With a protein deficiency in the body, one can only dream of feeling good, strong immunity and prolonging youth. Because it is proteins that are the main building material for our body. And if protein reserves are not replenished in time, the tissues will wear out more and more.
The gynecologist told how to take hormone tests correctly
How to control protein indicators? Only with the help of analyses. The average daily intake is at least 1 g of protein for every kilogram of your weight. That is, if your weight is 70 kg, you need to eat at least 70 g of protein per day. More is better.
