Stay Active After Menopause
Menopause: The Importance of Milk and Immune Balance
Menopause is a natural stage in a woman’s life, typically occurring between 45 and 55. Due to changes in hormone levels, many women experience a range of physical and emotional shifts, including decreased bone density, weakened immune function, and a reduction in energy and vitality. Therefore, maintaining energy and health during this time becomes crucial. Drinking milk, supplementing calcium and vitamin D, and maintaining immune balance are all essential ways to help women navigate menopause smoothly.
The Importance of Drinking Milk
- Preventing Osteoporosis: Increase Intake of Calcium and Vitamin D
During menopause, the decrease in estrogen levels leads to a gradual decline in bone density, increasing the risk of osteoporosis and fractures. Research shows that postmenopausal women experience a bone density loss rate of about 1% to 2% per year. Milk is a primary source of calcium and vitamin D, both of which are vital for bone health.
Women who consistently drink milk daily during menopause experience a significantly slower decline in bone density compared to those who do not. Moreover, the vitamin D in milk helps with calcium absorption and bone mineralization, further enhancing bone strength.
- Protein Supplementation: Maintaining Muscle Mass
In addition to calcium and vitamin D, milk is rich in high-quality protein. Women going through menopause often experience muscle loss, leading to decreased physical strength and changes in body composition. The protein in milk helps repair and maintain muscle mass, preventing loss during menopause. Consuming an adequate amount of milk can help women maintain muscle strength and enhance vitality during this phase.
The Importance of Immune Balance
During menopause, a woman's hormone levels, particularly estrogen, decrease significantly, directly affecting the function of the immune system. Estrogen plays a crucial role in maintaining immune balance by regulating the activity of immune cells, enhancing the body's ability to fight infections, and reducing inflammatory responses.
- Reduced Estrogen and Weakened Immunity: As menopause begins, the reduction in estrogen can lead to a weakened immune system, making women more susceptible to infections like colds, flu, and other diseases. Additionally, the body’s anti-inflammatory capacity declines, increasing the risk of chronic inflammation.
- Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Disease: After menopause, the risk of cardiovascular disease in women rises significantly. Immune imbalance and excessive inflammatory responses are potential risk factors for cardiovascular diseases. Maintaining immune balance can help reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular conditions such as atherosclerosis.
- Osteoporosis: Inflammatory responses also contribute to the decline in bone density. The reduction in estrogen not only affects calcium absorption but may also increase bone resorption activity, leading to osteoporosis. If the immune system is overactive, inflammatory responses can exacerbate bone loss. Therefore, maintaining immune balance is essential for bone health.
Stolle ImmNuPlus: Vitality for Menopause
Stolle ImmNuPlus is developed with the concept of "maternal-child immunity," providing specific antibodies and immune nutrients that help prevent infections, colds, flu, and reduce inflammation, contributing to a healthier lifestyle for the whole family.
- In addition to the rich nutrients found in milk, Stolle ImmNuPlus contains patented immune nutrients, including specific IgG, IgA, and three major functional factors: anti-inflammatory agents, macrophage activators, and anti-atherosclerotic factors. These patented ingredients enhance immune responses and regulate overactive immune reactions, preventing autoimmune issues. This regulatory function helps maintain immune system balance, reducing problems like allergies and chronic inflammation.
- A healthy gut microbiome has a direct impact on overall immunity. Stolle ImmNuPlus promotes the growth of beneficial bacteria while inhibiting harmful bacteria, enhancing gut barrier function, and further strengthening the immune system.
- It effectively helps regulate blood lipids and blood pressure, supporting cardiovascular health.
Therefore, it is recommended that menopausal women drink 1-2 cups of Stolle milk daily to maintain strong bones and muscles, effectively boost immunity, and bring lasting vitality and health to the body.
