Do you know how to solve menopausal palpitations and insomnia?

People will experience a variety of uncomfortable symptoms when they reach menopause, such as palpitations and insomnia. Solving this problem requires many aspects, such as self-regulating emotions, learning to eat healthily, strengthening physical exercise, and supplementing adequate nutrition, etc.

1. Maintain an optimistic and happy mood, actively devote yourself to life and work, and maintain a good mood. A good mood can improve and coordinate the excitability of the cerebral cortex and nervous system, give full play to the potential of the body, and make people full of spirit and energy.

2. Pay attention to dietary nutrition, which also has a good effect on improving menopausal symptoms. Foods such as longan, red dates, sour jujube kernel, water chestnut, cypress kernel, lily, lotus seeds, American ginseng, hawthorn, cinnamon, oyster meat, wheat, grapes, kumquat, bitter melon, jellyfish, black fungus, white fungus, and poria are very helpful for women in menopause.

3. Strengthen physical exercise. One is to promote rope skipping, and the other is to promote jogging. Jogging can be used to directly treat mental depression. In terms of controlling neurasthenia, running is superior to drugs.

4. Schisandra chinensis (Northern Schisandra chinensis) tastes sweet and sour, and is warm in nature. It has the effects of nourishing the kidney and calming the mind, invigorating Qi and promoting body fluid, consolidating the exterior and stopping sweating. It is often used for symptoms such as lung and kidney deficiency, asthma, internal heat and thirst, spontaneous sweating, night sweats, palpitations, insomnia, frequent dreams and forgetfulness. Pharmacological studies have shown that Schisandra chinensis has the effects of calming the nerves, dilating blood vessels, anti-aging, and protecting the liver. Clinical applications have shown that Schisandra chinensis, whether used alone or in combination with other drugs, has a good therapeutic effect on common menopausal symptoms such as insomnia, palpitations, sweating, and irritability, especially on improving sleep. This tea substitute can also be taken by people suffering from general insomnia. It is best to crush Schisandra chinensis before decocting it, so that its medicinal effect will be more significant. As the late famous Chinese medicine doctor Pu Fuzhou said: "When using Schisandra chinensis, it must be crushed to obtain all five flavors."

5. Eat more vegetables and whole grains

Many fiber-rich vegetables, such as bean sprouts, radishes, taro, seaweed, leafy vegetables, potatoes, cucumbers, green peppers, etc., help the secretion of digestive juice, increase gastrointestinal motility, and promote the excretion of cholesterol. In addition, onions and garlic have good lipid-lowering and digestive benefits. Fungus and shiitake mushrooms can replenish qi and strengthen the body, and aid digestion. And you should eat more foods rich in thiamine and niacin, such as whole grains, brown rice and legumes. Thiamine has a certain sedative effect, and niacin can dilate blood vessels, which is beneficial for lowering blood pressure.

6. Increase calcium and iron intake

The estrogen level in menopausal women decreases, and the anabolism of bone tissue decreases, making them more susceptible to osteoporosis and increasing the incidence of fractures. In addition, women who consume 1,000 mg of calcium per day can reduce diastolic blood pressure by about 6%. Calcium can also maintain the excitability of nerves and muscles. Therefore, menopausal women should regularly eat foods high in calcium, with a daily calcium supply of no less than 1000 mg. Honey contains more than 10 trace elements and 108 mg of calcium in every 100 grams of honey, which can effectively prevent female convulsions. You can take 2-3 cups of warm milk every day, adding 20-30 grams of dark honey each time. For honey, you can refer to Ji'antang's jujube flower honey.

7. Eat more fish, shrimp and beans

Protein is related to the construction and repair of human tissues and the maintenance of immune function. But please note that terrestrial animal meat usually contains a lot of saturated fat, which can make you gain weight. Therefore, it is recommended to reduce the intake of terrestrial animal meat and use low-fat dairy products, beans, fish and shrimp as the main sources of protein.
