There's a lot you can do to help keep your health on top form at menopause when you have the right information. So keep an open mind, and start with the simplest and most natural tactics to deal with your menopause.
Self-Care is Essential
A lot of women don't take great care of themselves during the years when they're busy chasing children around the house or working hard at a job, or more often both! So menopause can be a good time to start and you may want to start with the following suggestions:
- Eating a balanced diet of protein, carbohydrates, plenty of fibre, and just a little bit of fat. As we get older, the digestive system is not as efficient, so eating a nutritious, well-balanced diet can keep your body weight stable, and may also have a positive effect on how you feel during menopause.
- Getting out and moving at least three times a week for an hour. If you can, do some exercise — even walking — every single day. Exercise helps keep excess weight off, keeps the body working efficiently, and is one of the best ways to give you that "feel good" factor.
- Take stress out of your life! Just say no to more obligations than you can handle, and don't cope with problems by using alcohol, caffeine, or cigarettes, which are all bad for your physical and mental health.
Menopause Supplements Provide Proven Benefits
As the natural oestrogen in your body declines, it can be helpful to take supplements that help to support health and wellbeing at this specific life stage. Estroven® is a dietary supplement made with all-natural ingredients including isoflavones (from Japanese Arrowroot and Soy) and specific vitamins and minerals that can be taken before, during or after the menopause.
