Natural Menopause Treatment Can Provide Relief And Improve Your Health

Great Edamame!

My favorite way to consume soy is in the form of edamame. Use the shelled fresh or frozen kind for evening snacks or eat a bowlful of shelled edamame as a main dish. In addition to being a great source of phytoestrogens, soybeans are an excellent source of protein and rich in many vitamins and minerals. Edamame, soybeans, are excellent sources of fiber.

Sauté edamame with a little olive oil and a clove or two of freshly crushed garlic just until the garlic is golden and the soybeans are hot. Toss with parmesan cheese. Sprinkle with a little kelp and freshly chopped herbs such as basil or lemon thyme. I enjoy this dish several days per week. Give it a try. Its nutty flavor is satisfying and delicious.

Lifestyle Supports for Menopause

Regular exercise is a great stress reliever which helps to balance fluctuating hormone levels. In addition, exercise promotes bone health and cardiovascular wellness. Exercising three and one half hours weekly has been shown to decrease the occurrence of hot flashes. Exercise relieves stress and promotes a good night’s sleep. Exercise vigorously for a minimum of thirty minutes three times weekly.

Stop smoking for its many benefits. Did you know that smoking is linked to an increased likelihood of premature menopause?

Supplements Relieve Menopausal Discomforts

Take natural vitamin E with mixed tocopherols at a dose of 800 IU daily until hot flashes or night sweats diminish. Continue taking 400 IU daily long term. Vitamin E also promotes the health of the cardiovascular system. Vitamin E topical cream may be used to relieve vaginal dryness.

Hesperidin combined with natural vitamin C improves the health of the blood vessels. The combination may also relieve hot flashes.

Ferulic acid, also known as gamma-oryzanol, is a supplement made from rice bran oil .It is helpful for all women undergoing menopause. Ferulic acid is especially helpful for women who are in menopause due to surgical or medical interventions.
