Have You Ever Considered a Diet for Menopause Symptoms?

Have you ever considered that your diet for menopause may actually help with your symptoms?
On the other hand, what if you are currently eating things that may increase your retched symptoms, and make you feel worse?
Sometimes we don't know how bad we feel, until we start feeling better. That was my case, for sure. And because I was so fat and bloated and miserable, I decided to change my diet. I was 51 years old and in menopause. That was 4 years and 4 sizes of clothes ago.
Maybe my symptoms of moodiness, stress, exhaustion and headaches had something to do with my diet for menopause? Thanks goodness, I really started thinking about what I was putting in my mouth.
The diet for menopause that helped me lose extra belly fat and give me a ton of energy is based around clean, whole foods and lots and lots of water. I can tell you right now that this diet may help you as well.
The reason I have chosen to eat mostly raw and whole foods is because; when I am eating "clean". I am not eating things full of sugar, salt and preservatives. I am not eating fast and junk food. I am not eating frozen diet meals full of things I can't pronounce. And I am not eating fried foods that put my body in a stress mode, causing me to even add more belly fat to my already expanding waist line, because of hormonal changes.
So my diet for menopause is actually more about what I am not eating than what I am eating. Am I deprived and suffering? Absolutely not, and you will not be as well. Actually I am eating more now than I ever did, dieting all my life, just trying to stay an average sized girl.
I have sprouted grain toast with almond butter and agave syrup, sprouted grain cereal with almond milk, or a huge, chocolate, brown rice protein shake with almond milk for breakfast.
My morning snack is celery and almond butter, a glass of fresh juice, a hand full of almonds or a small carton of blueberries.
Lunch is a sprouted grain sandwich with mustard, dill pickles, a whole avocado and smoked turkey, or it might be a spinach salad with almonds, red peppers, avocado, carrot and cucumbers.
Another afternoon snack, for sure. On this diet for menopause I am grazing though the day, it keeps my energy and metabolism up. It might be another avocado, or an apple, maybe jicama strips or a sprouted grains muffin.
Supper is also wonderful, and has usually been in the crock pot all day. Fresh green beans and mushrooms, sweet potatoes, squash, a broccoli or cauliflower head. Maybe I will add a touch of goat butter; dinner is so yummy and filling.
I think you have to agree that this way of clean eating has nothing to do with deprivation. The only thing I am missing with this way of eating is feeling bad about the way I look and feel. I am still loosing inches and weight, with all this eating. And now, my clothes size is smaller than it was when I was 28 years old. I want the very best for you. Please consider helping yourself out, as well as your diet for menopause.

18 Perimenopause Signs and Symptoms

You're not going crazy. You're just perimenopausal.
You feel that something is wrong with you. You are not the same gregarious, happy, carefree woman that you were for the most part of your adult life. Lately, you are always in pain, always confused, always forgetful, and always irritable. You see the signs and symptoms of perimenopause but you're just not sure if it really is what you think it is.
Perimenopause is a tricky condition. Sometimes you think that you just have a simple irritation or an infection gone really bad. In reality though, it's hard to say that you're already in that phase because there are no clear-cut signs. Every woman experiences different symptoms. You are left to make a guess, or get some tests to make sure that you are already perimenopausal.
Do you suspect you may be in perimenopause? See if you recognize any of these signs and symptoms:
Genetics. Ask your mother when she went through menopause and what her symptoms were like. Most likely, since you have the same genes, you will experience menopause at about the same time she did and in about the same manner.Changes in your period. During perimenopause, period varies from light to heavy and you may have irregular cycles or duration that are shorter or longer than your usual regular periods.Mood changes. Depression, irritability and anxiety are but common perimenopause symptoms. Most women experience these thinking that they're going crazy. The don't realize that they are probably in perimenopause.Irregular heartbeat. Sometimes, palpitations are a tell-tale sign that something is definitely wrong.Hot flashes/flushes, night sweats. Simply put, you have these flashes because they are the effects of declining ovarian estrogen production.Vaginal dryness and loss of libido. Sometimes, you will even find sex so repulsive that you can't stand the mere thought of it. Hence, vaginal dryness - due to the decreased production of estrogen - can result in painful intercourse.Sleep problems. You might think it's insomnia, but it could be just one of the many symptoms of being perimenopausal. This pertains to trouble in sleeping all through the night - with or without night sweats.Dizziness. Loss of balance.Depression and doom thoughts. In some cases, the depression is so severe that you sometimes think about death - sometimes picturing another person's or your own.Weight gain, specifically around the waist or thighs.Aching, sore joints and muscles. Visit your doctor to rule out carpal tunnel syndrome (compression of a main nerve in the wrist, leading to muscle weakness in the hand).Hair loss or increase in facial hair.Cognitive facilities affected. Memory lapses, disorientation, difficulty in concentration and mental confusion are just some of the symptoms.Tingling in the extremities. If you feel your hands, arms, legs and feet tingling, there is also a chance that you have vitamin B-12 deficiency, diabetes or a lack of potassium and calcium.Gum problems or increased bleeding in your gums.Urinary tract problems. You may experience incontinence or urinary tract infections. Sometimes, it also leads to yeast infections without you knowing it. For these cases, always consult a doctor as prescribed antibiotics are the best way to counter these.Change in body odor. Osteoporosis. This however, would only manifest in the latter part of your perimenopause.

A healthy, low-carbohydrate diet can help lessen some painful symptoms. Engaging in exercise - walking or any aerobic exercise - can help promote good blood circulation and ease the effects of some symptoms.
Meditative exercises like yoga and breathing exercises are also recommended for physical as well as mental well-being. Alternative and traditional medicines are readily available as well to help ease specific symptoms.
Having several of these symptoms and signs can already indicate perimenopause, especially if you're at the perimenopause age. Learn more about each of these symptoms and how you can address each one by visiting Perimenopause Answers now!

Alcohol Magnifies The Symptoms Of Perimenopause And Menopause

Since Perimenopause, the beginning of Menopause, can start at very different ages for different women it is difficult for a woman to recognize new feelings. It is impossible for a woman to know that changes are beginning to happen to her system that will affect the way she feels and thinks. Are you an active social drinker? When you drink have you rarely had problems with becoming overly intoxicated before now? Have you always known your tolerance level for alcohol, and knew when to quit until now?
But, now you are noticing episodes of over intoxication, even unreasonable thinking, anger and behavior that just isn't you. Some of this must sound familiar, because, you are reading this article. I am a man. My perspective is different, but I have gone through this from the opposite side. Perimenopausal symptoms never just pop up and became obvious to women. It isn't just one day and "BAM", hot flashes, moodiness, bloating, fatigue, night sweats, etc.
This Menopause thing is a long, slow and hard process. The changes may occur slowly and be subtle. Anger caused by hormonal changes can feel like the anger you have dealt you're your whole life. "I really am mad about this" is how it feels. But the cause of this feeling is hormonal without your knowing it.
Obviously, all the symptoms don't start at once, but begin to appear over long periods of time and you just don't pick up on it easily. This is why women believe feel like they are going crazy. You feel like you are just, in a "bad mood" today. Then, more symptoms begin to happen more often and you don't really notice that this a change in your body either.
When the frequency of Menopause symptoms, become noticeably closer together, you begin to question what is going on with you. You knew that Menopause was a part of life, but no one starts out with personal experience with what it is like, and what changes the process is going to cause. Sometimes the symptoms of moodiness, depression, insecurity, sadness become very hard to cope with.
Much like any person with anxiety and depression, people sometimes begin to "self medicate" to ease the pain. If you are a social drinker, who knows his or her tolerance for alcohol and your problems cause you to drink more, this could create a cycle of increased drinking beyond the amount you can handle. You are drinking yourself toward problematic results.
Is it the same with a menopausal woman? Yes it is, but worse. Due to new and unfamiliar hormonal imbalances caused by the changes happening in her system, her entire body make up is altering dramatically in inconsistent ways. You can see what might happen here?
The hormones that flow through your body are you. They make up how you think and feel. Hormones are the key to how your mind and body react to everything around and in you. This includes the fact that, as hormonal levels "fluctuate", your tolerance of alcohol can change also. These hormonal imbalances can change from one day to the next., Your system may change from hour to hour. You may logically look for something to slow down the rush of emotions, moodiness and anxiety. A drink seems harmless.
But, without your knowing it, you no longer are aware of what its effects will be. What begins to happen in women is rapid, more dangerous. You may find that on one night you can have social drinks all evening and everything is normal and fine. Two days later, you might stagger and slur your words. You might say things that could never really mean. Later on, the next morning, you may not remember what it was that you said or did. Or, if you had an argument with your husband, or a loved one, you may not even remember the the reason why you were why you were upset. What I have observed, is that as the months and years go by there emerges a pattern.
Women will gulp all drinks when on her period, and then drink more slowly and conservative when not on a period. This cycle was the "aha" moment for me and my wife. Perimenopausal hormonal fluctuations can cause women to think in a totally emotional way, without the balance of intellect. The next day a better hormonal balance can return for you and thought is more correctly a balance intellect and emotion.
This is what you were like before. But, as I said, you have never felt these changes in your life. You certainly are not prepared to deal with them when in a highly emotional state. If you begin drinking alcohol in this state to relax, you will be hit with a double whammy. You are highly emotional and your tolerance to alcohol is lower.
I have observed that different forms of alcohol can affect you more than others. For my relationship, the most damaging form of alcohol is red wine. A favorite of her for many years, it is still very appealing to her, but brings on the worst episodes. This fact makes it important that you keep communicating to the close people around you, such as a husband or a friend, they can can help you watch out for the signs and slow you down on those evenings when tolerance is low. On some nights red wine can just be too hard to tolerate. You may notice that you do not have just "hot flashes" on red wine; but instead you have "hot full evenings".
Red wine is an example. For some women it might be something else, such as gin or whatever. This demonstrates again how important it is to communicate with partners and friends. Be sure that you talk to those around you about all the changes that are going on with you. You can work together to keep life as normal as possible.
As I said, this all moves slowly, but I'm convinced that if you are aware and watch for the changes, then you have an increased chance to concentrate on seeing the changes and dealing with the symptoms. There is a reason that I wrote this article. It is based on my desire to inform others of what we have learned. I have observed what I am passing on to you.. I am a man and I can't feel what my wife is feeling, but I can observe her and see what she is doing. Then I can help her when she needs it.
A friend of ours, who is the same age as Andrea or so once said. "I can't drink red wine. It makes me hate Jim (her husband)". My suspicion is that our friend was in some stage of perimenopause when she said this. It's a funny statement, but a serious subject. I'm not going to moralize or preach against drinking. I'm going to point out that the man and the woman in the relationship need to do their research, communicate. Only by working together can a relationship involving menopausal women (and women will alll eventually be menopausal) be able to thrive.

The Symptoms of Menopause

The Most Common Symptoms of MenopauseYou may already be familiar with the most common symptoms of menopause, but they are worth mentioning anyway. Most of the time those going through menopause will experience hot flashes, night sweats, loss of libido, mood swings, vaginal dryness, and irregular periods. If you are experiencing a combination of these symptoms you may be going through menopause.
These symptoms will usually last throughout menopause, but it is possible a woman could experience some of the most common symptoms of menopause for the rest of their lives. The most common symptom is hot flashes and it is estimated that between 75 and 85% of women will get hot flashes throughout menopause.
Hot flashes can seem very sudden and they basically are a transient sensation of heat throughout the entire body. This can cause flushing in the face and upper body and they can be very intense or very delicate. Every woman is different and these can vary quite a bit from one woman to another.
The night version of hot flashes is known as the night sweats and this can keep you from getting proper rest. You may also experience variations in your sex drive along with irregular periods and vaginal dryness. These are all very common and most women will experience all of the symptoms of menopause in one way or another.
Symptoms of Menopause - The Changes you May Experience
There are quite a few changes your body may go through and the most common is fatigue. Most doctors say that fatigue is by far the most common of the changes women face when going through menopause. It is not a feeling of needing to sleep, but rather a lack of energy and a feeling of just not wanting to do much of anything.
You may also experience hair loss, memory lapses, dizziness, weight gain, incontinence, bloating, brittle nails, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, irritability, allergies, difficulty concentrating, sleep disorders, change in odor, and irregular heartbeat. These are the symptoms of menopause that can be considered changes to a woman during menopause.
Weight gain is the change most women fear the most and this is caused due to your body simply not needing the same caloric intake as it used to. Since the reproductive system no longer needs the support of your diet your body will not need as much food everyday as you are used to eating. Changes in diet and exercise can help to prevent weight gain.
Sleep disorders are also very common when women go through menopause partially due to night sweats. You may find you are sleeping less and less restful, which could lead to insomnia. This can as much as double during menopause due to many different factors and not just night sweats.
Some of the other changes you may go through are much less common, but more serious. If you find you are struggling with concentrating, you have an irregular heartbeat, or you feel confused and disoriented quite often, then it is time to seek the help of a medical professional. These are symptoms of something more serious than just menopause.
Symptoms of Menopause - The Pains you May Experience
There are a handful of pains you may experience as symptoms of menopause including: headaches, burning tongue, gum problems, muscle tension, tingling extremities, breast pain, joint pain, electric shocks, digestive problems, and itchy skin. You may not experience all of these different pains, but most commonly breast pain and headaches will come with menopause.
Breast pain will come in the form of tenderness and soreness in one or both of your breasts. Your chest will be very sensitive and you may feel discomfort on a general level, but the actual pain is usually associated with touching or pressure on the breast. It the pain is severe and last for two months or longer it is time to consult your doctor.
Headaches are also very common and usually are caused by one of the other pains like muscle tension. They can also be caused if you drink too much alcohol during menopause or you become ill during menopause. Some of the stages of menopause will come with worse headaches than others.
The final one of the symptoms of menopause is Osteoporosis. This is more of a side effect that can show up later after menopause, but it is still work discussing. Due to all the changes your body is going through with menopause it can cause osteoporosis after several years.

Understanding the Top Five Menopause Symptoms

Many women that are reaching a certain age wonder what are menopause symptoms? Well, there are many but the top five seem to be:*Fatigue
*Weight Gain
*Hot Flashes
*Low Libido
*Hair Loss
Let's first talk about fatigue. If you are dealing with fatigue as a menopause symptom, it could be caused by many different things. If you are having trouble sleeping because of night sweats due to menopause this could cause fatigue. Once you start feeling fatigued, this increases stress and anxiety which then causes insomnia. This becomes a vicious cycle.
Fatigue can also be from a lack of progesterone. Progesterone is the hormone that keeps you energized and also accounts for your sex drive.
The second menopause symptom that we are going to talk about is weight gain. Probably one of the most complained about symptoms of menopause is weight gain. If you are gaining weight during this time of your life, don't blame yourself. This is something that happens to about 90% of women during menopause. Some will gain more than others. Most women will gain 10 to 15 pounds during their menopausal years. That is approximately 1 pound per year.
The next menopause symptom is hot flashes. Hot flashes are very common during menopause. A hot flash is a brief feeling of heat that may make the face and neck flushed, cause temporary red blotches to appear on the chest, back and arms. Sweating and chills may follow. Hot flashes vary in intensity and typically last between 30 seconds and 10 minutes.
Okay, now let's talk about low libido or low sex drive. As with all menopause symptoms a low libido or low sex drive is different with each woman. As you begin menopause you could have some hormones waning or fluctuating. Estrogen can start to diminish which can affect your sexual response.
Some changes that you might notice are:
*Less sensation in the genital area
*Painful intercourse
*Lower sex drive
*Difficulty becoming aroused
*Vaginal dryness
*More vaginal or bladder infections than usual
Again, if you have the menopause symptom of hair loss, it is usually because of fluctuating hormones. It is normal for women to have some hair loss, but if you see any of the following symptoms it could be from menopause:
*Scalp is red and itchy
*Large amounts of hair in your comb or brush
*Small bald patches
*More hair than usual falls out while washing
*Noticeable hair thinning
All of the above subjects are some of the menopause symptoms. Some women will have more and some women will have less. If any of these symptoms become too extreme you should always tell your ob/gyn or your family practitioner.

What Are The Symptoms of Menopause?

It is very important to realize that it is innate for every woman to undergo a life process known as menopause; it is a stage in a woman's life when her fertility cycle ends; it is during this stage that ovaries halted producing the hormone estrogen and the reproductive cycle starts to deteriorate. Generally, when a woman reaches the age of 50, they may experience symptoms of menopause. Although some other women who have been diagnosed with cancer, diabetes, thyroid disease or other autoimmune deficiencies may have an early onset of menopause as early as 40 years old. More so, symptoms of menopause can even be manifested to some few while they are still in their early 30s, especially to women who had gone through surgery like hysterectomy wherein either the two ovaries or the uterus are removed.The period or duration of menopause symptoms may vary for every woman. Nevertheless, most of the symptoms of menopause commonly last for years after onset and get betters as it goes on. There are women who may find some difficulties in both physical and psychological changes and symptoms during this transition period. On the other hand, most of these changes maybe experience progressively and not frequently abrupt, yet it may extend several years though. Symptoms of menopause usually do not require medical intervention, yet it is sensible to seek medical help to take care of the associated signs that may affect the woman's physical and psychological health brought by these symptoms of menopause onset.
When a woman starts to experience some manifestations of menopause, she is in the stage of pre menopausal. During this period onset of irregular menstrual cycle is the most common symptoms; it is a result of reproductive hormonal changes. From a regular day of menstruation, a woman may notice that her the menstrual cycle changes to a longer or a shorter period. Generally, menstruation can take place in a period of 2 to 3 weeks and in few cases, it may not happen for 5 to 6 weeks long though. There are few cases that a woman may have signs of menstruation but she may not menstruate. The amount of blood flow during menstruation may also alter. It can either be inadequate or heavy; it depends on the changes that the body may have come.
Following an irregular menstrual cycles, hot flashes are experience which can help out to distinguish the beginning of menopause. Hot flash is a quick sensation of warm or strong heat, that stretch out to various parts of the body, mainly the head, face and chest. During a hot flash situation, the woman may experience a swift sweating and blushing and later chilling. This condition may be experienced in the first two years after the onset of menopause. These symptoms of menopause may be felt for over a period of time; however, it may reduce gradually in time. But there are a few women who may experience hot flashes for longer years after menopause though. This hot flash is one of the symptoms of menopause that most women may need medical attention to prevent further problem.
Some women are emotionally affected when menopause manifestations start; considering that it is a decrease of estrogen and progesterone in their system; and most likely this triggers their strong emotional responses such as depression, resentment, bad tempers or pleasure. As a result they see themselves erratic and changeable, thus finding it as disturbing and seems to be given importance and should not be taken for granted.
It is a truth though, that there are a few women who may hardly manifest any symptoms of menopause other than the cessation of menstrual periods.
