Menopause Support
Menopause-supportive foods nourish bones, muscles, cardiovascular health, digestion, and steady energy through a major life transition. Ayurveda often sees Vata and Pitta changing together and responds to the individual pattern.
Menopause is a whole-body transition involving changes in hormones, temperature regulation, sleep, mood, bone, muscle, cardiovascular health, and metabolism. Adequate protein, calcium, vitamin D, fiber, beneficial fats, and varied plants create a supportive foundation.
Ayurveda often sees Vata increasing with age while Pitta may appear through heat, intensity, or night sweats. Support may require both cooling and grounding, chosen according to the person rather than a single menopause diet. Herbs are not substitutes for evaluation or hormone therapy when appropriate. Unexpected bleeding after menopause, severe symptoms, or major mood changes deserve prompt care.
