The Mayo Clinic, a non-profit worldwide leader in medical care, research, and education, has some home health care remedy recommendations to assist in diverting some of the symptoms that can come hand-in-hand with the onset of female menopause.
- Decrease vaginal dryness and discomfort that can happen as hormones levels adjust during menopause by using water-based lubricants as well as maintaining an active sex life to keep a healthy supply of blood flowing to the vaginal area.
- Stay diligent about maintaining healthy sleep habits to ensure an adequate number of restful hours. It is best to avoid caffeine, which makes it hard to fall asleep, and alcohol, which can interrupt sleep.
- Focusing on a diet that includes a variety of fresh seasonal produce as well as staying away from processed foods, sugars, and unhealthy fats will help your body maintain a healthy weight which decreases the strain and stress on your internal systems.
These home-care tips can ease many symptoms of menopause. There has also recently been published an extensive study detailing lifestyle habits that can greatly contribute to menopausal symptoms, particularly hot flashes.
