Menopause - Symptoms and Tips

Ways to Deal With Menopause Symptoms - Women Health Tips

Navigating through menopause isn’t always easy. The physical and mental challenges of a changing body come at a time when women face plenty of other challenges: too much work, not enough time, and taking care of everyone—the kids, the job, the aging parents, the community—except yourself. So I regularly give women these top 10 tips to help them stay healthy and happy at this time of their lives:

1. Make some time for yourself

Schedule some time for exercise, friends, and yourself on your calendar. Use that you-time for things like meditation, mindfulness, yoga, prayer, reflection on where you are going in life, or to just enjoy the sunset.

2. Eat healthy and exercise

Because your metabolism slows down at this time, you’ll gain weight unless you change your lifestyle, so eat less, eat healthy—a Mediterranean diet, for example—and schedule time for exercise. This will not only help you avoid heart disease and other health problems but will also help keep your brain healthy. A recent study published in the journal Neurology found that older adults who did not exercise or exercised only lightly experienced a decline in their cognitive function equal to 10 more years of aging compared with those who exercised moderately or intensely. No time for the gym? Try jump-starting your day with 7 minutes of vigorous aerobic exercise, and work in exercise in 5- or 10-minute time slots.
