Joy Wisdom spotlights bigger picture Menopause and Bones. Bone depletion can start in our 30's. The more informed and educated we are the sooner we can take action. JWT education 'Empowering Women with selfcare' spotlights to help prevent and avoid. Women can feel aches and pains in joints when hormones are in decline from start of Peri-menopause and Menopause. It is more noticeable in full Menopause and Elder menopause as support systems reduce faster due to hormonal decline. As hormones decline our bones can be influenced.
Osteoporosis is a debilitating disorder and a large percentage of women often suffer debilitating symptoms in menopause. Hormonal depletion can highlight bone issues especially in ‘Full’ menopause and ‘Elder’ menopause. Common symptoms show as weak writs, fingers swelling and hand grip. The decline of Oestrogen / Progesterone are often cited as cause and effect.
Women lose bone more rapidly after Perimenopause due to decreased levels of Oestrogen & progesterone. Women may lose up to 25% of bone density after Peri-menopause/Menopause (estimated approx. 1% to 2% per year). Logically brings risks to health.
1. Risks occur when too much bone is lost, increasing risk of developing bone fractures or Osteoporosis
2. Bones of the hip, wrist, and spine are commonly affected.
Hormonal imbalances do have a part to play - Progesterone or Oestrogen?
Dr. Lee believed that although Oestrogen may help slow down bone density loss in a limited way, it is primarily a Progesterone deficient disease. As Progesterone stimulates the osteoblasts cells responsible for laying down new bone.
Essentially, the depletion of bone strength can start in our 30’s and well on the way when we enter Peri-menopause/menopause. Logically the sooner corrected the better to slow down bone depletion. Those of a slender body shape seem to be more prone to bone, joint weakness, prone to Osteoporosis.
The spotlight on malabsorption and combination factors are unique to each woman. Reduced oestrogen, progesterone, dehydration and lack of Omega 3-7-9 essential oils are often factors behind the depletion, discomfort and pain. Vitamin mineral deficiency, diet and hydration are all factors to consider and can be a combination of all to correct in many women. Those who live Vegetarian and Vegan diets may be more affected.
Essential Fatty acids – lack of Omega 3, 7 and 9 can be underlying causing a whole host of issues including skin and bone disorders.
Quinoa ~ (keen wah) Known as a cereal but in fact a Botanical fruit of herb plant.
By including Quinoa in your diet several times a week it can help to correct internal malabsorption, out of sync system issues.
