Like many things during this challenging period in our lives, our metabolism gets affected by hormonal changes related to perimenopause and menopause.
Putting on weight is one of the downfalls of hormonal fluctuation and, many women try to tackle on this issue going on a strick diet.
In my previous article, I wrote about blood sugar levels during and after menopause. As women get older, hormone changes before and during menopause often cause hot flashes, irritability and sleep deprivation. These drops or spikes in the hormones not only impact your mood and life, but they can also affect your blood sugar.
As I wrote in a previous article, fixed diets affect menopause. You need to consider health risks such as high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and insulin resistance and potential lifestyle changes during the transition.
In my last article I spoke about xenoestrogens and how everyday items we use on our body disrupt our hormones in particular, how they can contribute to estrogen dominance in women during menopause. Although it is difficult to remove all the chemicals we use on our body, we can avoid these by being more aware of what we buy, eat and drink to help us maintain healthy wellbeing.
