Women should include lot of calcium rich food (like cabbage, fish, nuts etc) in their diet as they are more susceptible to osteoporosis (brittle bones).

After menopause, women lose bone mass 2 to 6 times faster due to the loss of estrogen, a female sex hormone which plays a key role in building and maintaining bone calcium. By getting enough of the nutrients that support bone health, you can maximize bone building when young and maintain strong bones at any age. Don't rely on dairy products alone for your calcium requirement as their animal fat and protein can accelerate bone loss. Also include other sources of calcium like leafy green vegetables, cabbage, beans, tofu, fish, seeds and nuts.
