Post menopause symptoms are discussed online, in health books, and on television. There is a huge industry for women who no longer ovulate, with prescription medicines, health supplements, all sorts of hormone replacement, and counseling for mood swings or depression.
The point is that this time of life is not a time of illness. It is a normal progression experienced by all who don’t die young. Of course, there is more understanding today of the changes in hormone levels which trigger responses in your body. If you take these response as signals that you may need to change your diet or lifestyle, you can feel better than ever.
After all, infants teethe and there are remedies to help them through it. Children have fevers and colds and measles and chicken pox. Teens have acne, and there are at least as many remedies for that as for menopausal conditions. Pregnancy is another normal state often treated as an illness. Parenting can drive you just as crazy as the mood swings common to older women.
So educate yourself on the role of hormones and accept the fact that you may need to change your lifestyle a bit. The lack of hormones may decrease your interest in sex, so substitute true intimacy and you may even like that better. Doctors can advise on lubricants for the vaginal dryness that can occur, or you can find natural ones at health stores.
Bone loss is a problem which actually begins in perimenopause. There are medications for this or you can just take magnesium. There is ample calcium in most modern diets not deficient in protein, but magnesium is often in too short a supply to allow absorption of the more common mineral. Taking herbal sources of trace minerals and the macro-minerals of calcium and phosphorus can be helpful if all else is in balance.
The point is that this change is not an illness but a signal to change your ways to fit a new you. If you still work and need to look as young as possible, dye your hair. Keep your weight down with healthy raw foods and complex carbohydrates, and investigate the burgeoning industry of facial toners and fine line vanishing creams. Not only does this help, but it can be fun, too. Check out human growth hormones for extra energy and youthfulness.
Don’t feel like a victim to post menopause symptoms (think signals!). Educate yourself and enjoy the time of your life you have been waiting for all these years.
