Menopause Support Group
Menopause is the physiological cessation of menstrual cycles associated with advancing age. It normally occurs in women between the ages of 45 and 55, when the body begins to slow and stop the production of eggs, estrogen and progesterone production decreases, and menstruation diminishes, eventually stopping altogether.

Women in particular gain from an increased intake of omega-3 fatty acids, according to a new study, which found that supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids might help to prevent preeclampsia, postpartum depression, menopausal problems, postmenopausal osteoporosis and breast cancer, among others.
Furthermore, because elevated triglyceride levels are associated with cardiovascular disease, especially in women; and because omega-3 fatty acids have powerful effects on triglycerides, women in particular gain from an increased intake of these fatty acids. This is especially important in women receiving hormone therapy, which can increase triglyceride levels, note the researchers. They also add that the quality of the omega-3 preparation is important.

You can get Omega 3 in the fish oil pills or you can get it by eating foods like Tuna and Salmon. The problem with the pills is the after taste (burps) they can be an issue. Right now I am trying to find a decent pill with no mercury or fishy after taste. The hunt continues.
