Menopause is often accompanied by many mental and physical discomforts. One of them is an increased risk of heart disease compared to before this period. Cardiovascular diseases develop in women 7 to 10 years later than in men, and cardiovascular diseases are still the leading cause of death in women over 65. As previously mentioned in the article Cardiovascular Diseases, Prevalence, Importance and Prevention, choosing sesame oil can be an effective step in preventing heart disease.
One of the effects of menopause is the loss of bone minerals (mainly calcium) due to a decrease in estrogen secretion by the ovaries, which increases the risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures. Bone mass is at its highest at the age of 25, and bones are sufficiently strong. From the age of 40 onwards, bone mass gradually decreases, and during menopause, one-third of bone mass is lost within 5 to 10 years. Bones with lower bone mass are more prone to fractures. Spontaneous bone fractures, pain in the back, pelvis, and legs are symptoms of osteoporosis. To prevent this disease, it is recommended to use calcium sources such as sesame seeds.
In addition, the results of another study have shown that sesame, as a source of lignans or phytoestrogens, has a positive effect on the health of menopausal women and the regulation of their hormones, and adding sesame seeds or sesame oil to the diet can be very effective.
