Hot Flashes And Menopause

There are a slew of menopausal symptoms. Many of these symptoms would leave the most stable, healthy woman wondering if she is coming apart at the seams.  Thankfully, due to the abundance of information available, we no longer have to feel alone and wondering what has gone wrong with us. Chemicals are not the answer. We have learned that that simply taking care of ourselves in a careful and natural way, we can heal ourselves.  

Some of the most common, and bothersome symptoms are hot flashes and night sweats. The onset is unmistakable:  the sudden flush of your skin; wishing you could strip off every article of clothing touching you; sweating profusely; and to top it off, this is happening while in public. You need relief now!  If you were home you could strip and take a cold shower, but these symptoms tend to have a mind of their own. They don't seem to care where you are or what you are doing.  For quick relief, there is a product called Cold Flash. You simply squeeze to activate and it provides instant cold relief. You could discreetly place it on the back of your neck, or wherever you need relief. The Cold Flash is small and portable, so you can keep it in your purse or pocket to make sure relief is always within reach.

Some of the ways to avoid hot flashes and night sweats include avoiding trigger foods. These trigger foods include alcohol, spicy foods, animal fats, and caffeine. As a substitute for coffee, try herbal tea. My favorite is lemon or orange flavored. Just as important as what you eat is when you eat it.  Try to eat your last meal of the day at least 3 hours before bedtime. The reason for this is digestion produces heat thus increasing the likelihood and intensity of night sweats. 

Be sure you drink plenty of water throughout the day (it should your preferred beverage).  Begin to make the switch to organic foods. We don't need the added hormones from dairy and meat. Include at least 8 servings of fruits and vegetables every day. Try to eat these fresh with as little processing as possible.  There is nothing like fresh picked strawberries, tomatoes, or apples. Make sure you visit your local Famer's Market, it's the next closest thing to growing in your own yard and the variety is usually eye-opening.  

You should exercise regularly. It’s best to get this done first thing in the morning, but after a little breakfast. Let's not forget our supplements, ladies. Make sure to include the omega oils, black cohosh and vitamin E.

Always keep in mind that menopause is not a disease. It’s a normal physiological process that women have experienced since the beginning of time.
