ME…NO…PAUSE" because of MENOPAUSE

Menopause is often regarded as a challenging life event and is often called the "Stormy Transition."

Menopause is a normal biological process that marks the end of a woman's reproductive years. Mood and physical changes brought on by hormonal shifts characterize menopause, which is not a sickness but does tend to happen between the ages of 45 and 55.

It heralds the arrival of the second, more liberated adulthood, the end of the first!

Symptoms and Signs

  •          Irregular periods 
  •          Hot flushes
  •          Night sweats and day sweats
  •          Depression and anxiety
  •          Chest pain, scaling, and dryness
  •          Muscle and joint discomfort
  •          Sleep disorders
  •          Gaining weight
  •          Disinterest in sexual activity
  •          Issues with the hair, skin, teeth, and breasts

Tips for Taking Care of Your Health During Menopause
Menopause is a natural part of getting older, but there are things you can do to improve your health and manage the symptoms.
   1. Eat a Variety of Foods- Because metabolic rate typically decreases during menopause, a nutrient-rich diet is especially crucial during this time. Prioritize these points:
      a). For strong bones, it's important to get enough calcium and vitamin D. Eat foods that are rich in calcium, such as dairy, dark green vegetables, and plant-based milks that have been fortified. To help                your body absorb calcium, either get plenty of sun exposure or think about taking a supplement   

    b). Soy, flaxseeds, and legumes are good sources of phytoestrogens, which are estrogens derived from plants that may help keep hormones in check and reduce the frequency of hot flashes.

    c). Protein: Foods high in lean protein, such as fish and legumes like lentils, chickpeas, and beans, can help you maintain your muscle mass.

    d). Antioxidants: Consume berries, oranges, and spinach to combat oxidative stress, which can become worse with age.

      e).  If you want to keep your mood stable and your weight gain at bay, cut back on processed foods and refined sweets. Consuming foods rich in fiber and whole grains can help with digestion and energy               levels.

       2. Keep Yourself Hydrated - When estrogen levels drop, it can cause skin changes and dryness in the vaginal area. One way to keep your skin healthy and  avoid bloating is to drink plenty of water. Try to         drink eight or more glasses of water daily. 

2.       3. Exercising on a regular basis has several health benefits, including boosting energy and mood and assisting with weight control. Muscle strength, bone density, and cardiovascular health are all positively       impacted by regular exercise. Because of its calming effects, increased flexibility, and enhanced balance, yoga is an excellent choice for women experiencing menopausal symptoms.

3.       4. Trouble sleeping is a common symptom of the hormonal changes that occur during menopause. Adhering to proper sleep hygiene will enhance the caliber of your sleep: Wear light pajamas, use bedding        that allows air to circulate, and try to stick to a regular bedtime and wake-up time each day to keep cool. 

  5. Find a Way to Stay Calm -You can learn to cope with stress by practicing mindfulness, deep breathing techniques, meditation, and reaching out to others for assistance. If you want to lift your spirits, keep        in touch with people and do things you enjoy.

  6. For better health in general and menopause in particular, stop smoking and drink moderately. Hot flashes are made worse by smoking, while mood, weight, and sleep can all benefit from cutting out on            drinking.


Recognizing Menopause as a Novel Stage

Menopause is the start of a new chapter in a woman's life. You don't have to let the symptoms define your experience, no matter how difficult they are. When you take care of your physical and mental health and lead an active lifestyle you will be better prepared to handle menopause.

Remember that menopause is a normal aspect of aging and does not signal the end of youth. When managed properly, this phase can provide opportunities for self-care, personal growth, and refreshment. Always get specific advice from your healthcare provider for optimal menopausal management.

We wish you a healthy and happy life with "ME…NO…PAUSE" at MENOPAUSE!
