When it comes to "menopause", one of the first images that comes to mind is irritability and explosive anger, easily stepping on landmines and feeling particularly oppressed, but still having to endure. In response to this situation, we have provided the following methods for calcium supplementation during menopause for female friends:
Symptoms of Menopause in Women
1. Emotional instability
The most obvious feature of menopausal women is emotional instability. Women need to adjust their emotions and not be too impatient, maintaining emotional stability.
2. Irregular menstruation
Menopausal women experience changes in their physical condition. Specifically, menstrual irregularities occur, such as irregular menstrual cycles, long periods without ovulation bleeding, and sudden cessation of menstruation.
What Menopausal Women Should Eat for Calcium Supplementation
1. Tofu
Everyone knows that soy products are rich in nutrition, and tofu contains more protein than meat. Whether it is southern or northern tofu, they both contain a good amount of calcium. Tofu is also available in different textures, hard or soft, making it very suitable for menopausal women. Therefore, women should eat more dried tofu, tofu shreds, tofu skin, etc. to increase calcium intake and prevent menopausal osteoporosis.
2. Milk
Milk has a high calcium content, with a predominance of fat-soluble calcium that is easily absorbed by the human body. It has become the preferred food for calcium supplementation and effectively prevents osteoporosis. Milk is also convenient to carry and can be consumed anytime, anywhere, making it the best food for calcium supplementation.
3. Bone broth
People often say that eating something can supplement it. Many people believe that drinking bone broth can supplement calcium. However, the calcium content in bones is actually very low. However, bones contain a lot of collagen, which is an important component of bones and is also beneficial to bone health.
4. Green vegetables
In addition to high-calcium foods such as milk and tofu, green vegetables also have a high calcium content. For example, rapeseed, radish leaves, spinach, etc. Menopausal women may consider eating more of these vegetables in their daily lives to effectively prevent osteoporosis.
5. Fish and seafood
Such as crucian carp, carp, bream, loach, shrimp, dried shrimp, shrimp skin, crab, kelp, seaweed, clams, sea cucumbers, snails, etc.

What Menopausal Women Should Pay Attention To
1. Pay attention to premenopausal menstrual disorders and postmenopausal vaginal bleeding. In such cases, timely examination at the hospital is necessary to rule out organic lesions.
2. Maintain mental balance. Menopausal women are more psychologically fragile, but every woman has to go through this special period. They must objectively face this reality and pay attention to adjusting interpersonal relationships.
3. Prevent external genital infections. The urinary and reproductive systems of menopausal women are in an atrophic state, with weak resistance to infections. Therefore, it is important to maintain the cleanliness of the external genitalia and prevent urinary tract infections and vaginitis. If there are any discomforts in the reproductive system, timely medical treatment is necessary.
4. Take some Chinese medicine. Many menopausal women may experience symptoms of kidney yin deficiency, such as soreness and weakness in the waist and knees, dry mouth, and constipation. They can take some Zhibai Dihuang Pills. If it is kidney yang deficiency, symptoms may include aversion to cold, laziness, and thin stools, and they can take some Yougui Pills. They can also soak wolfberries in tea, add astragalus and ginseng to soups, and eat more Chinese yam, all of which have benefits.
