Kick-start your year of restful sleep 4 things no one told you about menopause

1. Stay hydrated

During the menopausal transition and beyond, women have a greater tolerance for dehydration. This means that your thirst mechanism kicks in much later than it used to. You can build a routine for taking fluids to minimise flushes and dehydration induced fatigue.

2. Stop dieting and start nourishing

Women function better in a nourished state - physically, mentally and emotionally. To feel at your best, fill your plate up with two fists of colourful vegetables, a palm size serving of protein and the right balance of carbohydrates and fats for you.

3. Protein is your best friend

During the menopausal transition, women gradually lose oestrogen and its muscle-making benefits. Without oestrogen, you need to eat more protein to continue to stimulate muscle protein synthesis and maintain your metabolic wellbeing. Muscle loss is the preceding factor for weight gain which is why women can rapidly gain weight during this time.

4. Switch up your training

Most of us had ‘the talk’ before we got our first period, but no one gives you ‘the talk’ when you enter perimenopause and menopause. You may feel clueless about the physical, mental and emotional changes that occur during this time period, so here are some tips to help you rock your way through menopause with confidence.

MenoCalm to the rescue

In menopause, you want to support and balance your hormone levels to soothe the common signs associated with the transition. BePure’s MenoCalm is formulated with temperature balance and mood swings in mind. This powerful herbal and nutritional blend of ashwagandha, sage leaf, black cohosh, choline and chromium helps to soothe, calm and support temperature balance, while supporting deep sleep and mood balance as you move into your next chapter.

Resistance training is the best way to generate more muscle-making cells, and heavy-lifting provides your body with the strength-building stimulus it needs as oestrogen declines. Heavy-lifting is also beneficial for boosting your metabolism, maintaining strong bones, and promoting cardiovascular health. BEPURE MenoCalm 90s now $37.40 was $44.00 180s now $58.65 was $69.00
