How to take care of women during menopause

Normally, women should enter menopause around the age of 50, but now some women under the age of 40 are also experiencing menopausal symptoms. Current Western medical methods have no way to treat this disease. Most of them just prescribe some Western medicine, which only treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and it is very harmful to the body. So, how should women take care of themselves during menopause? Let me share some experiences with you below.

First of all, we must maintain mental balance, adjust our mentality, stay optimistic, build confidence in fighting the disease, and eliminate unnecessary fear and anxiety. Mental stress and emotional excitement can aggravate neuroendocrine disorders and make menopausal symptoms more severe. Therefore, don’t always be worried about life during menopause. Learn to keep a happy spirit and stable emotions, which is conducive to the healthy development of your body and mind. Exercise can not only increase heat energy consumption, promote body metabolism and enhance physical fitness, but also reduce blood cholesterol and triglycerides, increase the content of high-density lipoprotein in the blood, thereby enhancing the body's ability to defend against atherosclerosis, but also stimulate osteoblasts, increase bone tissue and prevent osteoporosis. Menopausal women should strengthen their exercise and do appropriate physical exercise to slow down the decline of physical strength so that they have sufficient energy and physical strength to devote themselves to work and life. Pay attention to the combination of work and rest, work and life should be regular, do not drink alcohol or coffee before going to bed to maintain a good sleep.

The second thing is to pay attention to your diet. Fresh fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C, which can replenish the nutrients that women’s bodies lack during menopause in a timely manner and help relieve many physical discomforts. Coarse grains are a very nutritious food. They are very effective for menopausal patients and have a good effect on the sleep and spleen and stomach of some patients. Coarse grains can also improve menopausal insomnia. Carbohydrates should account for 55% to 60% of the total daily calories, with cereals as the main source, and sweets limited. Fat intake should be controlled below 30%, and mainly consist of vegetable oils. There should be a certain amount of animal protein such as lean meat, fish and eggs, and appropriate supplementation of soy products. As for salt, it should be controlled below 5 grams per day.

The above are some tips I’ve shared with you on how women can take care of themselves during menopause. I believe everyone has learned about them. Menopause is a period that we women must go through, and we must take it seriously. Develop good eating habits, eat less spicy food, arrange your daily schedule reasonably, get more rest and get more sleep.
