Postmenopausal women need more butter and egg yolks. Why? Because they’re at risk for osteoporosis and osteopenia. Their hormones have shifted, and they’re in a situation where they need to build bone. 

Most postmenopausal women go straight for the calcium supplements, like calcium carbonate, to build bone. But this is a mistake. This could potentially increase the risk of heart attacks. The vitamin they may really need more of is vitamin K2. It’s also important not to go on a low-fat diet.
