Menopause is an absolutely natural phase in a woman’s life, but we are used to waiting for it with anxiety, considering it as a “disease” or a phase of decline in our femininity. In fact, the body prepares to live this phase very slowly, with gradual changes that last even a decade, one does not enter menopause overnight. Make sure you arrive at this appointment with the body prepared: the sooner you train it, the better.
During menopause, some women may experience hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood swings, anxiety, stress, fatigue, muscle and joint pain, osteoporosis, or heart disease, among other discomforts. Stress is known to trigger some of the common menopausal disorders.
Hot flashes, sleepless nights, emotional turmoil, bad mood… And now no libido?
The arrival of menopause is not the same for everyone. Each woman is different, and she has her own catalog of symptoms associated with the process.
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.
Menopause is a personal transition period that can be difficult, but it also should be considered a time for personal reflection. It is a phase where the benchmarks and values adopted so far may undergo changes. Adopting a clear attitude that allows us to discern between what works and what no longer works, can provide ease in this process, and help us to avoid quality of life changes.
