Most women can go through menopause smoothly, and a few women may suffer from a series of symptoms, which will affect their physical and mental health. In this regard, every woman who enters menopause should strengthen self-care and spend menopause safely.

If women want to go through menopause smoothly, there are the following health essentials to pay attention to:

Remain optimistic

Actively participate in life and work, and keep a good mood. Cheerful and optimistic mood can improve and coordinate the excitability of cerebral cortex and nervous system, give full play to physical potential, make people energetic, increase appetite, sleep well and live a full life. This is of great benefit to improve disease resistance, promote health and adapt to the changes of menopause. Avoid mental stress, emotional excitement and anxiety.

(2) Pay attention to diet and nutrition

Ensure that the daily diet is rich in isoflavones and boron. Taking 30 ~ 50 mg isoflavones from plants (such as tofu and soybean milk) and eating foods rich in boron, such as apples, sweet pods and grapes, can prevent the estrogen level from falling.

For those with dizziness, insomnia and emotional instability, choose foods rich in vitamin B. Such as coarse grains (millet, cereal), beans and lean meat, milk and so on. Milk contains tryptophan, which has the effect of calming and sleeping; Green leafy vegetables and fruits are rich in B vitamins. These foods have certain effects on maintaining the function of nervous system and promoting digestion. In addition, it is necessary to eat less salt (it is appropriate to halve the amount of ordinary salt) and avoid irritating foods, such as wine, coffee, strong tea and peppers.

People with frequent menstruation, excessive menstrual flow or even anemia can choose foods with high protein content, such as eggs and lean meat (cattle, sheep and pigs). ) and beans. Usually eat more pork liver, vegetables and fruits. If you have a bad appetite and are tired of greasy food, you can make jujube longan soup with red dates and brown sugar, or eat porridge with red dates and red beans as snacks, which can play a role in strengthening the spleen and enriching the blood.

People with obesity and high cholesterol should choose high-quality protein and low-cholesterol foods, such as lean meat, duck meat, fish, beans and bean products. Soybean is rich in calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B 1 and B2. In addition, linolenic acid and linoleic acid in soybean also have the effect of lowering cholesterol.

(3) Pay attention to skin care

Appropriate grooming by menopausal women will make you show the beauty of maturity. The regeneration of human epidermal cells over 40 years old has no effect, so we should use high-protein skin cream, such as protein glue, elastin, reticular hard leaves and so on. You can also use electronic instruments for beauty care. Drink plenty of water to slow down the intense pace of life, because the intense pace of life will produce more wrinkles. Applying lecithin is a way to use vitamin E, which is one of the few anti-aging nutrients. Sleep contributes to healthy, smooth and delicate skin. Outdoor activities and physical exercise help cells absorb oxygen, which makes the skin better.

(4) Strengthen physical exercise

I want to recommend two useful activities to you:

One is skipping rope. When skipping rope, the whole body is moving and the brain must be fully active. The constant rotation of the rope head will stimulate the acupoints of the thumb to act on the brain, thus increasing the vitality of brain cells and improving thinking and imagination.

The second is long-distance running. Long-distance running can produce a lot of catecholamine substances, which can strengthen the excitement process of cerebral cortex, improve people's sensitivity to stimulation, make people feel happy, feel good about themselves and increase their appetite. According to the measurement, the secretion of catecholamine in menopausal women with mental depression is very low, so long-distance running can be used to treat mental depression directly. Running is superior to drugs in controlling neurasthenia.

(5) Pay attention to vulva hygiene.

Due to the lack of estrogen support, menopausal women's vaginal mucosa pH changes, resistance will be reduced, and vaginal inflammation is prone to occur. Therefore, we should pay attention to the cleanliness of vulva to prevent atrophic genitals from being infected. Proper sexual life, in addition to regulating interest, can also delay the occurrence of genital atrophy.
