MENOPAUSA: como amenizar os sintomas?

Menopause is characterized by the natural decline of female sex hormones. The average age for menopause to begin is 51, but it can occur as early as 40. The most common symptoms are hot flashes, vaginal dryness, sleep disturbances, joint pain, insomnia, anxiety, or depression. At least 25% of menopausal women experience such debilitating conditions that they need to reduce their work hours, which also impacts their personal lives. The good news is that these symptoms can be easily managed by considering dietary changes and some therapies. Try to avoid coffee. It is a brain stimulant, vasoconstrictor, and subsequently vasodilator. This effect worsens symptoms, in addition to being a calcium-stealing agent, which compromises bone health, which is already weakened by the drop in estrogen. Caffeine also interferes with the activity of adenosine, a calming hormone that helps reduce stress. This negative effect can increase anxiety. Try replacing it with calming herbal teas, such as chamomile, lemongrass, lemon balm, and mint. Alcoholic beverages also have a vasodilating effect, similar to coffee, and should be avoided. Increase your intake of fresh vegetables rich in isoflavones and lignins, which are plant hormones with an action similar to estrogen—hormones that decrease dramatically during menopause. To help you, include sweet potatoes, chickpeas, lentils, cabbage, turnips, and broccoli in your diet. Soy products are excellent options, such as milk, yogurt, tofu, or edamame (fresh soybean pods). Other good sources include flaxseed and pumpkin seeds. These phytoestrogens can also be purchased in supplement form. Did you know that vitamin C is a powerful ally at this time? As an antioxidant, it helps with energy production and reduces tiredness and fatigue. Take advantage of this vitamin C effect and include fruits and vegetables like strawberries, cherries, blackberries, raspberries, oranges, lemons, peaches, cashews, guava, kiwi, blueberries, and mangoes, as well as leafy greens, in your daily diet. It's worth remembering that fruits and vegetables also provide antioxidant polyphenols, which have a protective effect against hypertension, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, cancer, heart disease, and stroke. 5 Herb Tea for Menopause This tea helps women find well-being during menopause and can be consumed daily as a natural hormone replacement therapy.
