The age-old argument is that once passion is gone from a relationship, it can not be regained. It suggests that once people have disconnected from a relationship, they are no longer vested in it, physically or mentally. They just go with the flow, break up, separate, or divorce. But how do you bring back the passion if you decide to remain in the relationship?
As women who have gone through menopause at least a decade ago, we may one day look in the mirror and say, “what happened to my hair?” On my bathroom sink counter, I have a photo of myself at age 40 with my first son, Andrew, and my husband. My hair looks great, as it always did. But gradually, over twenty years of dying with a commercial hair dye containing ammonia, and then not with ammonia, and basically just living through the stresses of balancing a career and family, my hair became thin and brittle.
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.
Menopause is often viewed as a dirty word, due to the many deleterious effects it can have on women’s bodies, physical and psychological health, and the very way they view themselves.
Menopause changes our body and mind in many ways. It can impact our mental and emotional strength by eroding confidence, and causing mood swings, fatigue, depression, anxiety, anger, and other emotions we have to deal with every day.
