Dry mouth during menopause

After entering menopause, the hormones in women's bodies are undergoing obvious changes, among which amenorrhea is also a physiological phenomenon that occurs in young women's bodies. Most young women will become depressed and irritable, mainly because they are often unable to accept the many changes in their bodies. In addition, some menopausal women have the problem of dry mouth and tongue. What should they do?

1. Eat foods that promote the production of body fluids and quench thirst

Loquat is recommended. Loquat contains vitamin C, B group, sodium, potassium and other nutrients. Loquat is a sweet and cool fruit and has a very good effect of promoting salivation. It has a very good improvement effect on women who are prone to dry mouth and tongue problems during menopause.

Warm reminder: Loquat fruits are small, and the color of the peel is mostly light yellow, but there are also orange-red ones. The beautiful color makes people drool.

I would like to recommend a loquat-related recipe for promoting salivation - lily and loquat soup. Eating it regularly can help clear away heat and promote salivation. Menopausal women who are prone to dry mouth may wish to try it.

Preparation method: Wash the fresh lily, lotus root and loquat (30 grams each), remove the loquat core, cut the lotus root into slices, and then cook them together with the lily. When cooked, add starch (3 grams) and boil again before eating. It is recommended to add osmanthus (2 grams) when eating, which will make it taste better.

2. Choose the right way to drink water

When many people feel dry mouth, the first way they think of to quench their thirst is to drink water. However, if you drink water in the wrong way, it will not only fail to quench your thirst, but will make your mouth drier and drier. The following is an introduction to the correct way to drink water, everyone should remember it.

You need to replenish water in time, that is, when you feel your mouth and tongue are a little dry, you must drink water in time, don't be patient, and drink slowly, don't drink it all in one gulp.

In addition, drink about six to eight glasses of water a day. At the same time, don't drink too many cold drinks and sweet drinks, which will make you more and more thirsty and have the opposite effect.

3. Correct eating habits that easily cause dry mouth

Eat less hard food, because hard food tends to absorb water. When the water content decreases, the lubricity also decreases, and your mouth will naturally feel drier.

Eat less pickled foods (such as pickled radish, fermented tofu, etc.), because pickled foods are mostly pickled with salt, so most of them are very salty and can easily cause dry mouth.
