Chronic Inflammation and Nutrition in Menopausal Women
Chronic inflammation, particularly in menopausal women, is influenced by the decrease in estrogen levels. Estrogen serves as a strong anti-inflammatory hormone, and its decline during menopause leads to increased chronic inflammation. Hence, it is crucial to focus on reducing inflammation through nutrition. Consuming a low inflammation diet involves paying attention to added sugars, increasing fiber intake, and addressing vitamin D deficiency, as it plays a significant role in reducing inflammation and preventing chronic diseases. Fiber not only aids in regulating glucose absorption but also supports the gut microbiome, impacting various organ systems. In the context of menopause, nutrition plays a vital role and should be prioritized alongside hormone therapy to ensure overall well-being.
