Embracing Menopause
Menopause is a natural life process and part of ageing where a woman’s menstrual cycle ceases and she transitions out of her reproduction years. It can be a challenging and confusing time for many women as their bodies change and they are confronted with uncomfortable symptoms such as hot flushes and mood swings.
There is a common misconception that women need to suffer with awful menopausal symptoms for years and that their body will never be the same. This is not the case.
Top tips for a happy menopause
Optimise your health and prepare your body, so you can reduce unwanted symptoms.
- Antioxidants, Vitamin C & E to protect against heart disease and osteoporosis.
- Vitamin D & Magnesium for bone health.
- Fibre – this will protect healthy hormone metabolism.
- Increase healthy fats and omega-3 fatty acids to increase bone mineral content and reduce risk of osteoporosis.
- Daily exercise – move your body, include weight-bearing exercises.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine and spicy foods
- Use herbs: black cohosh, red clover and sage – great in herbal tea!
- Wear loose-fitting clothes in natural fibres.
A simple home remedy for hot flushes
- Chop 6 fresh sage leaves and soak overnight in fresh lemon juice.
- In the morning, strain and drink the lemon juice diluted in water.
- This should be drunk before food as it also aids digestion.
