Making certain lifestyle changes may help ease the discomfort of your symptoms and keep you healthy in the long run.
Good nutrition. Because your risk of osteoporosis and heart disease increases at this time, a healthful diet is more important than ever. Adopt a low-fat, high-fiber diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Add calcium-rich foods or take a calcium supplement. Avoid alcohol or caffeine, which can trigger hot flashes. If you smoke, try to quit.
Regular exercise. Regular physical activity helps keep your weight down, improve your sleep, strengthen your bones, and elevate your mood. Try to exercise at a moderate intensity for 30 minutes or more on most days of the week.
Stress reduction. Practiced regularly, stress reduction techniques, such as meditation or yoga, can help you relax and cope with your symptoms more easily in this period of transition.
short-term treatment with HRT for 6 months to about 5 years, using hormone therapy after menopause can slow the rate of bone thinning and may prevent bones from fractures as well alleviate symptoms of dryness and hotflashes
However, there are potential risks of hormone therapy….as it does predispose u to breast and uterine cancer, blood clots….and if u have problems with
• problems with vaginal bleeding
• liver disease
• had certain kinds of cancers (such as breast and uterine)
• had a stroke or heart attack
• had blood clots
....you might not be a candidate for HRT
