A Healthy Diet Menopausal Women – How to Remain Ageless
Do you have difficulty sleeping, feel anxious for no reason, suffer from impatience, sudden hot flushes, night sweats or palpitations? If so then you could be experiencing menopause.
In biological terms, the changing secretion of hormones impacts the physical sexual characteristics and health of women. In other words, ageing not affects the body externally it also quietly removes hormones from the body, leading to less regular menstrual cycles and potentially uncomfortable physiological and psychological conditions, until menstruation stops permanently. This transitional period is known as “menopause.”
Women tend to experience menopause at the age of 40-55. It is during this period that most have what are called “menopausal troubles,” which refers to sudden hot flushes, night sweats, insomnia, depression, emotional instability, poor memory, frequent mictruition, urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness or itchiness and urinary tract infections. After menstruation stop the chance of women suffering from osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease also greatly increases. In this context, how to take care of oneself during menopause and after one’s menstruation cycle stops is of considerable importance to women. First, maintaining a balanced diet that includes the six main food groups is very important, particularly the 3 lows and 1 high (low fat, low salt, low sugar, high fiber). Every day one must consume sufficient fruit, vegetables and water, particularly berries such as cranberries. These are excellent for preventing urinary tract infections in women and if taken in conjunction with sufficient exercise allow one to generally feel more comfortable and less stressed. This also promotes the metabolism and also reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease.
