Omegas for a healthy menopause

If you're worried about early menopause, there's good news: in groundbreaking research, a team from the University of Leeds has found that women taking omega-3 supplements may experience menopause later. Published in the journal Nutrients, the study of 3,500 women found that those who took fish oil supplements had a 95 per cent reduction in the likelihood of menopause starting earlier than average (before 45). This is important because, when menopause happens earlier, women face increased risks of health conditions including heart disease, osteoporosis and diabetes.
