When it comes to menopause, many women will have the melancholy of "helpless flowers falling", thinking that it is a sign of aging, so they feel afraid and afraid. In fact, menopause is a transitional period in which women's ovarian function gradually declines from a vigorous state to a complete disappearance, and it is a manifestation of women's qi and blood reflected in physiological functions from prosperity to decline, usually starting at the age of 40 and lasting from the age of 60. During this period, the endocrine level of the body changes, and symptoms such as menstrual disorders, hot flashes, excessive sweating, complex and changeable emotions, irritability, insomnia, forgetfulness, palpitations, increased blood pressure, and muscle and joint pain may occur, which is the so-called "menopausal syndrome". So, how can women smoothly navigate this period and achieve a healthy old age?
1. Temper emotions and cultivate self-cultivation.
First of all, menopausal women should face up to the rules, think less about moderation, and maintain mental tranquility and happiness. If the heart is pure, the mind is at peace and the qi is smooth. At the same time, we should be good at self-catharsis, talk to relatives and friends, and dispel the frustration in our hearts. Secondly, self-cultivation and appropriate "empathy": according to their own interests and hobbies, actively participate in positive cultural activities to enrich life, relieve pressure and emotions, such as listening, planting flowers and plants, calligraphy, playing chess, etc.
2. Diet adjustment and reasonable matching.
Develop a variety of well-balanced diets to ensure that the body's physiological needs for proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals are met. At this time, you can eat some foods with high protein content, such as chicken, duck, fish, lean meat, etc., and at the same time with potatoes to prevent constipation, with vegetables and fruits, but also to strengthen the intake of dairy products and soy products, in order to supplement phytoestrogens and calcium, avoid partial diet, should be light, eat less high-fat, high-sugar, high-calorie food, reduce the amount of carbohydrates to avoid fat accumulation. At the same time, you can take dietary therapy to cooperate.
3. Sometimes, exercise and maintain health.
During the day, when the yang energy is strong, women should carry out various activities such as work or play, and at night when the yang energy is collected. Bad habits should be abandoned in life, such as staying up late for a long time to read books and watch electronic products. At this stage, women's body shape and weight change, and at the same time, they should choose appropriate physical activities to strengthen exercise, such as China's traditional health preservation**, Wufowl Opera, Baduanjin, Tai Chi, etc., or square dance, jogging, walking, etc. are more suitable, which can stretch the muscles and bones of the body, promote the flow of qi and blood, improve the physiological function of the viscera, and make the mood happy. But it is necessary to be moderate and persistent, so as to achieve the purpose of harmonizing yin and yang, qi and blood.
4. Tap on acupuncture points for health care.
Moderate tapping of Baihui, Tianzhu, Zusanli, Sanyinjiao, Neiguan, and Jizhong acupuncture points every day is conducive to channeling the meridians, harmonizing qi, blood, yin and yang, and strengthening the body.
