3 ways to support your body through menopause


Introduction

Menopause is a time to focus on your health and well-being, especially as you age. Here are three effective ways to support your body during this transition:


Get more sleep.


Sleep is essential for recovery and helps with memory, cognitive function, weight loss, mood and stress management. Sleep can also help you to feel less stressed about pain. And when you're feeling less stressed about pain, it's easier for your body to heal itself.

So, what does all of this mean? The next time you feel on edge or sleepless because of menopause symptoms like hot flashes or anxiety—or even if you don't—take a few minutes out of your day to wind down before bedtime by doing something relaxing like meditation or stretching exercises (yoga works well).


Exercise.


Exercise. Exercise is more than just a way to stay physically healthy and fit. It’s also one of the best ways to manage stress, improve your mood and sleep quality, lose weight and gain muscle tone. It can help with hot flashes, mood swings and low libido too.

Many women report that they experience an increase in energy levels during menopause—and this is often associated with an increase in physical activity. However, some research suggests that exercise may be less beneficial for managing some symptoms of menopause (such as hot flashes).


Practice self-care.


  • The importance of self-care:

Self-care is a crucial component of overall health. It means that you take care of your body, mind and spirit by engaging in activities that nurture you and allow you to be your best self.

  • What is self-care?

Self-care can involve anything from getting enough sleep to going on a long walk around the block. It can mean eating better foods or going out dancing with friends. However, what makes it work for you may be different than what works for someone else—but that’s OK! You have to do what works best for you right now.

  • How can I practice self-care?: You can practice self-care in any number of ways, but here are some suggestions: * Take time out during the day (even if it's just 15 minutes) * Do something relaxing like reading or yoga * Do something fun like going to see a movie with friends
