Healthy Lifestyle Changes

Healthy Lifestyle Changes

The hormone changes we go through during menopause often rob us of our energy, our sleep—even our sex drive. But there are subtle lifestyle steps we can take to reestablish natural hormone balance:

  • Give yourself some real downtime—time that is just for you
  • Have a good conversation with a friend
  • Laugh
  • Step out for a breath of fresh air to help clear your mind and reduce stress

For ongoing relief of menopause symptoms, add Femmerol to your daily nutritional intake and help your body return to its natural hormonal state of balance.

Eat Healthy

Healthy eating habits and well-balanced meals will help relieve menopausal symptoms—as well as aid in maintaining an ideal weight. Nutrients from a wide range of foods also greatly help prevent and delay the onset of age-related disease and discomforts that can affect your heart and bones. Eat foods rich in calcium and anti-inflammation properties to help lessen joint pain and combat osteoporosis. Foods that are rich in anti-oxidants, as well as omega-3, -6, -9 fatty acids, such as coldwater fish, have been proven to help maintain memory and protect against Alzheimer’s disease.

Don’t Smoke

With hormone changes comes an increased risk of heart disease. Smoking significantly increases your risk of heart disease and cancer. By not smoking you can lessen your chances of developing heart disease and lung cancer and improve your overall health and physical appearance. It’s never too late to quit.

Decrease Anxiety

Unmanaged menopausal symptoms like night sweats, hot flashes and insomnia can wreak havoc, adding unnecessary stress to your already-full day. While Femmerol can help reduce your symptoms, it’s up to you to try to decrease your stress and anxiety. Breathing techniques, meditation, exercise, or simply taking a 20-minute break, can help put menopausal symptoms back into proper perspective.

Be Active

Menopausal symptoms also include frustrating things we rarely speak of, like misplacing your car keys and reading glasses! Staying socially and mentally active is good for the soul, and memory. Keeping in touch with your surroundings, family, and friends is uplifting to the spirit and energy level. Staying physically and mentally active are proven ways to prevent Alzheimer’s and heart disease. Engaging in stimulating situations and conversations will help with relief of menopausal symptoms like depression and irritability.

Sexuality and Touch

Female sexuality by its very nature is a sensory experience involving our whole body and mind. There are many reasons for diminished libido, but the disruption of natural hormone balance often causes a noticeable decrease in libido, causing concern. Although sometimes it’s just a passing mood, there are physical menopausal symptoms like vaginal dryness and atrophy that can make sex uncomfortable and even painful. Menopausal symptoms and hormonal changes don’t need to interfere with your inner glow, your passion or true beauty. Femmerol can help. Experiment with some over-the-counter lubricates and speak with your partner. As women today strive to live more in balance, we are more inclined to pamper ourselves and take pleasure in daily rituals. Taking this time is more important than ever as you go through menopause, manage menopausal symptoms and reclaim your sexuality.

Exercise

Exercising is an excellent way for you to maintain a healthy body weight and improve your overall health. The increased production of endorphins will give you that feel-good feeling that minimizes menopausal symptoms such as depression and mood swings. Find an exercise you enjoy and can work into your day.

Weight-bearing exercise also helps prevent against osteoporosis, and good cardiovascular workouts help prevent heart disease. Exercising should be a manageable addition to include in your every day life. Try parking at the far end of the parking lot, or taking the stairs instead of the elevator. Take the dog for a brisk walk or hop on a bicycle. Try an aerobic exercise class, stretch with yoga or build core strength with Pilates. Adding little things to your daily routine can help you stay fit and healthy and ward off menopausal symptoms.

Breathe

Breathing techniques have been proven to help hormone changes and ease menopausal symptoms.

There’s nothing that menopause throws at you that you can’t handle. Take it one day at a time. Learning new techniques and incorporating them into your life can go a long way toward relieving menopausal symptoms.
