Perimenopause is a transitional phase that offers a great opportunity to make small, meaningful changes to improve your overall health and well-being.
The key is to focus on one change at a time. Research suggests it takes at least 21 days to form a new habit. Personally, I find using a habit tracker helpful—I tick off each day I successfully stick to my new habit, which keeps me motivated and on track.
8 Lifestyle changes for better health during menopause
1. Go Organic
Organic foods are free of pesticides. Pesticides are known as 'hormone disruptors' and can alter the body’s sensitive systems and lead to health problems.
2. Eat walnuts, almonds, and seeds
These are rich in Calcium, Magnesium, and Potassium.
Calcium and Potassium keep bones and muscles strong.
B vitamins and fibre help prevent weight gain.
Magnesium and B vitamins regulate our energy levels and moods
3. Eat regularly to maintain a good blood sugar balance
Your brain needs glucose as fuel, so levels must stay constant in the blood all the time. If you eat irregularly blood sugar levels will get low. Sometimes the nervous system gets pulled in. Then you may get menopause-like symptoms, such as hot flushes or anxiety. For me, if my blood sugar levels get too low, I tend to get irritable.
4. Eat foods that are high in essential fatty acids
Foods high in essential fatty acids include oily fish. A study shows that having enough essential fatty acids helps prevent depression in post-menopausal women.
5. Take probiotics or eat fermented foods
Sufficient oestrogen helps to maintain a diversity of gut microbiota. This supports an effective immune response. Deficiency of oestrogen can destroy microbial diversity, having an impact on gut immunity. Fermented foods contain live microbes so can improve the immune response over time.
6. Increase Magnesium levels
A lot of menopausal women have a Magnesium deficiency. Most Western diets supply low amounts of Magnesium. A quick way to take in more Magnesium is through Epsom Salts or Magnesium lotion. Magnesium in these products can be absorbed through the skin.
7. Get enough of the full spectrum of vitamins
Around menopause, reductions in hormone levels can lead to a range of effects. Vitamins help protect the individual's overall health and manage any discomfort. Ensure that you ar eating foods covering all vitamins.
8. Do yoga, or other regular exercise, for better health
There are many reasons why exercise is important. Regular exercise:
- can help control weight
- have an impact on mood (as exercise produces endorphins and dopamine that make you feel better)
- helps keep bones strong as the risk of osteoporosis increases during and after menopause
- May improve your sleep
Integrating homeopathy into menopause lifestyle changes
