Menopause and Women's Health
By Cathy Taylor
Creating a “quality” menopause transition requires
following certain guidelines to minimize its effects on women’s health.
You probably know that this condition wrecks havoc on female anatomy
creating chemical imbalances and overall discomfort for a period of
time (both short and long).
Bouts of anxiety, physical symptoms such as hot flashes
and vibrations ripping through the body, vaginal discomfort, relationship
issues, and the realization that women are stepping into the next
phase of their lives are critical changes one must face.
Menopause and exercising proper women’s health can
easily go hand in hand with a little extra effort. In order to lessen
the severity of symptoms, women need to be informed about proper nutrition
including vitamin and other supplement consumption. Let’s look into
some vitamins that can help.
Some of the physical symptoms of menopause include
night sweats, itchy, crawly vibrations throughout the body, and general
discomfort. An excellent vitamin to take is Vitamin E. Taken in a
dose of 800 IU daily, it helps prevent these conditions from happening.
Make sure you take one pill with each of your meals, as capsules are
best activated in the body when consumed with food.
A good vitamin to aid depression and hot flashes during
sleep is magnesium as well (taken in a dose of 1,000 mg. daily). Another
one of the ¨letter¨ vitamins that is great for menopausal symptoms
and immune system building is Vitamin B-6.
It is a diuretic, which means it flushes out any excess
liquid in the body that can cause discomfort. It also aids in processing
protein and fights against disease. Women suffering under this condition
also experience depressive symptoms, something Vitamin B-6 can combat.
Regular Vitamin B can ease anxiety and fight stress as well.
Did you know menopause can cause weak bones? In a
condition known as osteoporosis, bones start to become brittle and
can break with ease performing the simplest tasks, such as opening
a car door or turning suddenly.
A quality vitamin such as calcium can help. However,
make sure you also take calcium with magnesium and Vitamin D together
because they help absorb calcium into the blood stream. Hormones are
also impacted by this wonderful vitamin, as it acts as its ¨engine¨
in being spread out throughout the body.
Remember, if you don’t want to consume pills and capsules,
you can eat foods and drink liquids rich in vitamins such as orange
juice, peanuts, soybeans, broccoli, bananas, and milk (calcium loaded).
Most doctors would recommend a daily multi-vitamin and antioxidant.
Taking the hormone known as DHEA can also do wonders
to battle the effects of menopause. One of the few over the counter
pills that also serves as a hormone, it actually produces sex hormones
in both men and women.
DHEA promotes the functioning of enzymes that speed
up bodily processes, block fat cells, and fights disease. DHEA is
actually produced by the body in the adrenal glands, but declines
in amount as we get older. That’s why it’s crucial to keep taking
DHEA to keep the body in optimum health and fight this condition.
Pound for pound, the most critical thing women can
do to lessen the severity of menopause is to follow a clean and healthy
lifestyle including exercise and listen to their doctor. Avoid eating
McDonalds, drinking sodas, and consuming other foods packed with sugars
and preservatives.
Make it a habit to drink water and provide yourself
with a solid social network of friends that will provide support to
you when you’re down and need someone to talk to. Overall, keep your
body in line and in shape against menopause by acquainting yourself
with proper nutrition and necessary vitamins.
