Feeling irritated and frustrated without any reason? And experiencing sweating even in an air conditioned room? These might be the signs of menopause. Menopause is a sign of ageing, that occurs in every women’s life around the age of 50. It can throw a woman on an emotional roller-coaster ride. If you have not got your periods for more than 12 months it might be menopause. In menopause, the levels of estrogen drops and one can experience emotional changes like feeling of sadness, irritability, anxiety, lack of motivation, fatigue, mood swings, tension or stress, etc. It can also increase the risk of diseases like osteoporosis, heart diseases, weight gain, diabetes, etc. The good news is, all of these symptoms and diseases can be managed with some easy to adapt lifestyle changes. So, let’s understand about all the changes in detail.

Healthy food and emotional well being.

The food you eat can have a big impact on your mood. Nutrition can play a big role in a person’s well-being, and it directly affects emotional well being too. The gastrointestinal tract has often been called the “second brain”. It contains numerous bacteria that have a role in the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine that carry messages from the gut to the brain. Eating food items rich in probiotics will promote the growth of good bacteria which will positively affect the production of neurotransmitters. Also, try to include foods rich in high protein like legumes and dairy products, fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.

Manage weight
