4. Vitamin D
Vitamin D is important for women of all ages, but it’s especially helpful after menopause. Once your estrogen production plummets, your hormonal balance can wreak havoc on your body for a while, and your bones are at risk if you don’t actively keep them strong.
This is where vitamin D comes in: not only can it improve hormone balance, it is absolutely necessary for the process of calcium absorption and bone renewal. The easiest way to work more into your day is step out into the sunshine for 15 or 20 minutes (with good sun protection, of course), but you can also take a vitamin D supplement in capsule form to top up your levels.
Yoga can be both calming and challenging. Practicing yoga for menopause should focus on restoring balance by calming your nerves and cooling your body.
