In addition to their reproductive and other functions, female hormones are necessary for regulation of bone metabolism. That is why some women may end up with osteoporosis. This is particularly true of vata and pitta individuals.

The main dietary recommendation for menopause is to follow the vata-pacifying diet (see chapter 8). This IS true for all constitutions but is especially crucial for vata types.
