The British Menopause Society (BMS) and its patient arm Women’s Health Concern (WHC) have long promoted the importance of good nutrition and healthy lifestyle choices as a cornerstone of a healthy menopause.  Not only can they help to manage menopausal symptoms in the short term, but they can also lay the foundations for good health through perimenopause, menopause, and the years to come.

We are pleased to announce the publication of three new WHC fact sheets that further support women to make informed healthy lifestyle choices:

Heart health and cholesterol in menopause

Digestive health and menopause

Alcohol and menopause

These fact sheets and a range of other WHC and BMS resources are easily accessible via the recently updated WHC Menopause Wellness Hub, together with sign-posting to a range of other trusted websites.

Update of the WHC Menopause Wellness Hub follows the June issue of Post Reproductive Health, the BMS journal, that focussed on nutrition and menopause.  This special issue highlighted that nutrition approaches are emerging as safe, accessible, and effective alternatives and additions to HRT, while identifying research gaps that need addressing.

The journal is available as a benefit to BMS members, or you can find out how to subscribe on the Sage Publications website.
