Seven Essential Nutrients for Menopause

Menopause is the process when a woman’s body doesn’t produce enough certain sex hormones to support fertility. One of the key signs for menopause is the cessation of menstruation cycles. Most women usually get menopause around the age of 50. Depending on genetics and lifestyle, some women can achieve menopause earlier or later than age 50. Toxins such as xenoestrogens, pesticides and heavy metals can increase the risk for premature menopause. Other factors such as unhealthy diet, stress, infection, immune dysfunction and radiation can also increase the risk. If you are having problems with premature menopause or worrying about it, the seven nutrients listed below should help reduce some of your problems and stress.
