If you are entering menopause, please listen to me.

Aunt Zhou, 50 years old this year, has been feeling forgetful recently. She often feels that her body is getting hot and she occasionally feels hot flashes in her chest, neck and face. She has always had good sleep quality, but recently she has been suffering from insomnia. What happened to Aunt Zhou? She went to the hospital and the doctor made a diagnosis: menopausal syndrome.

Menopausal syndrome refers to a series of physical and mental symptoms caused by fluctuations or decreases in sex hormones before and after menopause in women. Menopause can have persistent adverse effects on cardiovascular, skeletal, and cognition, and requires comprehensive health management, including annual health examinations, recommended reasonable diet, increased social and mental activities and healthy exercise, and the development of good living habits. It is recommended to consume whole grain fiber, sufficient vegetables and fruits, fish twice a week, control sugar (less than 50g/d), less oil (25-30g/d), limit salt (less than 6g/d), limit alcohol and quit smoking, drink enough water (1500-1700ml/d), insist on regular aerobic exercise every day, a total of 150 minutes per week, plus 2-3 resistance exercises to increase muscle mass and strength.
