Lifestyle Tips for Menopause Wellness
Regular Exercise
Our bones need added support as estrogen levels start to dip when we grows. Incorporating weight-bearing exercises into your routine, such as yoga or strength training, may help us to balance our health. Additionally, hormonal changes during menopause can affect our heart health. Regular cardio exercise like brisk walking or swimming can help maintain healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Let’s keep our hearts happy and healthy with some cardio love!
Reduce alcohol consumption
This can make a big difference in how we feel and navigate this stage of life. Aim to stick within the recommended limit of 1 drink per day.
Meditation and Mindfullness
We all know menopause isn’t just about physical changes — it’s also a journey of emotional ups and downs and can be a stressful time, especially with commonly associated symptoms like hot flashes, brain fog and fatigue. Practice mindfulness, meditation or deep breathing to calm the mind and ease physical tension. Aim to meditate daily, even if it’s just for a few minutes.
Rise and shine with rise of sunshine
If menopause has been messing with your sleep, kick start your day with a quick stroll in the daylight outdoors. It’s like hitting the reset button for your body clock, aka your circadian rhythm. Our retinas have special cells that soak in sunlight and signal our brain to dial down melatonin. Plus, Vitamin D boosts calcium and phosphorous absorption, which are important to maintain bone and muscle health.
