June 9, 2014 21:14

Menopause is a period when the body undergoes many changes. Symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, irritability… often occur, making your life less comfortable than before.

A few tips below will help you easily overcome common health problems during menopause.

1. Exercise daily

Many studies have confirmed that women who exercise regularly will face fewer symptoms of menopause. Therefore, practice the habit of exercising every day from the age of 40.

Exercise increases your metabolism, fights weight gain, and makes you feel happier and more positive. Just walking for 30 minutes a day will keep your body healthy and strong enough to fight off illness.

2. Get enough sleep

You should practice going to bed on time, creating conditions for your body to sleep at least 8 hours a day. Getting enough sleep helps to dispel feelings of fatigue and night sweats.

3. Don't forget to supplement with adequate nutrients

Your body needs a certain amount of nutrients to protect your health while dealing with the unpleasant symptoms that come with menopause. So pay attention to foods that are rich in antioxidants, as they provide many of the benefits you need.

However, don't skip lean meat - it provides protein, green vegetables and fruits to ensure a balanced and nutritious diet.

4. Practice relaxation exercises

Hormonal changes are still blamed for causing a series of psychological changes in people going through menopause such as anxiety, stress, mood swings, etc.

The ideal way to manage mental health issues is to practice relaxation techniques. Meditation and yoga have been shown to be beneficial in calming the mind during this “transitional” period.

5. Learn about the problems you are having

Without a clear understanding of your health status, you will have difficulty finding appropriate solutions.

Equipping yourself with knowledge about menopause will be very beneficial for you in the process of coping and solving problems. A good knowledge base will help you feel comfortable and confident when facing the changes that are happening, knowing how to accept and "live peacefully" with them.
