Dietary intake and age at natural menopause: results from the UK Women’s Cohort Study

Background Age at natural menopause is a matter of concern for women of reproductive age as both an early or late menopause may have implications for health outcomes. Methods Study participants were women aged 40–65 years who had experienced a natural menopause from the UK Women’s Cohort Study between baseline and first follow-up. Natural menopause was defined as the permanent cessation of menstrual periods for at least 12 consecutive months. A food frequency questionnaire was used to estimate diet at baseline. Reproductive history of participants was also recorded. Regression modelling, adjusting for confounders, was used to assess associations between diet and age at natural menopause. Results During the 4-year follow-up period, 914 women experienced a natural menopause. A high intake of oily fish and fresh legumes were associated with delayed onset of natural menopause by 3.3 years per portion/day (99% CI 0.8 to 5.8) and 0.9 years per portion/day (99% CI 0.0 to 1.8), respectively. Refined pasta and rice was associated with earlier menopause (per portion/day: −1.5 years, 99% CI −2.8 to −0.2). A higher intake of vitamin B6 (per mg/day: 0.6 years, 99% CI 0.1 to 1.2) and zinc (per mg/day: 0.3 years, 99% CI −0.0 to 0.6) was also associated with later age at menopause. Stratification by age at baseline led to attenuated results. Conclusion Our results suggest that some food groups (oily fish, fresh legumes, refined pasta and rice) and specific nutrients are individually predictive of age at natural menopause.

Growth is a life long process.

It’ll take patience some days, and pain during others. Some days will be filled with pure joy and positive development, while others will seem like a pile of bricks have formed in your heart.

This is growth. A gradual, bumpy, and courageous process that will continue for your entire life.

So please don’t get angry at yourself when you break apart, stumble, or make a mistake.

Please don’t tear yourself apart for taking a rest and starting something over again.

It takes a lot of energy to endure the challenges of personal growth. Truly. So be patient with yourself, and remember that you’re doing the best that you can.

“Be as considerate to yourself as you would be to those around you. Treat yourself as if you were the most sacred treasure, which without the proper love and care, would deteriorate. Remember that you not only need, but deserve adequate nurturing and treatment at all points in your life.”

Sleep in studies

“From this, it can be concluded that the fundamental purpose of sleep is to act like a garbage disposal for the brain. Essentially, sleeping acts as a garbage collector that comes during the night and removes the waste product left by the brain. This allows the brain to function normally the next day when one wakes up for slumber.”
