Study examines vitamin D levels in menopausal women

10/24/11

A study released recently on women's health and menopause revealed that a healthy diet is important in menopausal women, and many groups studied lack sufficient vitamin D.

The study assessed the dietary patterns of 3,574 women age 45 to 68 from October 2007 to July 2008 and found that obesity rates reached 29 percent with 42 percent of subjects deemed overweight.

"A diet with less fat and protein that is high in vegetables, nuts, and carbohydrate-rich foods will even out the energy balance and corrects levels of vitamin D and E," the researchers said. "This is especially important in places that are far away from the Mediterranean Sea where women have a greater tendency to fall short of the current recommendations."

Men and women alike are strongly encouraged to eat healthy foods as they grow older largely due to the higher susceptibility of various threatening and non-threatening diseaes they may face. As they grow older, it is important for baby boomers and senior citizens to consider life insurance coverage because it provides for the financial security of their dependents and loved ones.
