Even though some people may experience mood changes due to hormonal modification, the large majority of you will feel stressed and anxious during menopause transition. There are many reasons for this but because stress has a significant impact on your health if it is persistent, it should be treated as just another symptom. Here are few tips to improve your well-being during this natural step of your life.

Again, loss of oestrogens can directly affect your mood. In some cases, menopause transition can lead to hyperthyroidism that we know has a strong impact on anxiety. But more commonly, stress is caused by sleep disorders. Sometimes enhanced by hot flashes, sleep troubles, when settling in time, can be the main cause of your stress.

Adopt healthy habits

Menopause is a great opportunity to reassess your health goals and rediscover benefits of healthy food. Varied and proportionate healthy food consumption will help your body adapt to the changes it is facing. It will protect your cardiovascular system and also have benefits into reducing hot flashes and sleep troubles.

A few hours before bedtime, try to stop drinking all liquids, especially caffeine and alcohol. Avoid physical exercises in the evening and rather than spending time in front of your smartphones and tablets' blue lights, try to close your eyes and meditate.

However, anxiety is not necessarily related to hormonal changes. We know that menopause transition often coincides with life changes. Teenage children to manage or children leaving home, ageing parents, career changes, or partner issues comes all along with weight-gain, wrinkles and hair changes, or loss of the libido. Being aware of your own aging while dealing with major life changes is certainly not easy to deal with.

Start the conversation

In General, the best way to prevent from any loss of confidence and isolation is to be surrounded. Being able to talk about it, whether with your practitioner, your friends, or your partner, is the prerequisite to a precious step-back. Taking the time to understand what is happening to you will allow you to educate yourself and your entourage. You will then find out that it is nothing but a natural phase in woman's life which comes along with many new perspectives.
