Ready for Menopause?
Today on The Morning Blend we threw out a few suggestions for women in their 30's and 40's to prepare for menopause. The way I understand it -- from friends and others -- it's easier said than done!
Some of the natural tips we suggested include eating a Mediterranean style diet (veggies, fruits, fish, whole grains and good fats like olive oil and nuts); strengthening your core, quitting smoking, doing kegels at every spotlight (to strengthen muscles); treating depression, taking up a new hobby and increasing your circle of friends.
From what people tell me, it's hard to feel normal during this so-called "change of life". What do you think? Any tips for battling hot flashes or maintaining your weight? Experts say at menopause we all need to eat as many as 400 fewer calories per day to maintain! Ugh. Share your thoughts!
