One recent study suggest phytoestrogens, such as those in red clover, are a beneficial alternative to hormone therapy in postmenopausal women (mainly to manage the symptoms of menopause). There is no evidence that isoflavones can delay the onset of menopause

menopause is due to atresia of most of the primordial follicles. so nothing will delay the onset of menopause except incomplete atresia of primordial ov. follicles. Diets, excercise, and change of life style will minimize of stop menopausal symptoms.

Thanks sir,but I want to know that if a women become alert before atresia for diet rich in phytoestrogens,antioxidant and active life style.Then there are chances of delay in onset of menopause?

Thank you very much for such brillient comment, still I think that atresia of the primordial follicles in the ovaries is timely life cycle, so the effects of extra genetic factors may play a minor role in prolonging their life span. Definately, better life style and better health will improve the basic circumstances and inviroments in the process of atresia of the follicles and may lead to less no of atresia each month and so delay the onset of menopause.
