of these side effects. Among the side effects that can be affected by nutrition is the age of onset of menopause
(Thomas, Renaud, Benefice, De Meeus, and Guegan 271). Other impacts of nutrition are found on the more debilitating or inconveniencing aspects of menopausal symptoms. The weight gain that
is associated with menopause, for example, can be minimized (at least in animals) with the consumption of chlorella (a fresh water algae that is considered a super food because of
its nutritive value) (Shoenhals 47). Lyndaker and Hulton identify a four to six year period preceding menopause where a woman can expect irregular menstrual cycles. The quantify of
blood discharged during this period can vary as well (Lyndaker and Hulton). As estrogen levels decline, however, and even more concerning side effect of menopause emerges, that side effect
is osteoporosis. Osteoporosis affects a womans bone density. Peak bone density in an individual is most often achieved by age thirty.

factor in preventing the emergence of diseases like osteoporosis. The healthy skeleton is in process of continually breaking down but
