A few natural ways to slow down the process and ease the onset of menopause

Although declining estrogen levels are a part of our journey though womanhood, there are a few natural ways to slow down the process and ease the onset of menopause…

Firstly, diet is critical. The gut, also known as the first brain, needs to be balanced. Diets that include phytoestrogens (found in flax seed, soy beans, wheat bran, berries, peaches, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage) are known to balance estrogen naturally.

Secondly, regular exercise detoxifies the body, builds muscle tone, stabilises bone density and balances hormones. A combination of mindful moment (yoga and pilates), cardio and weight training assists in all-round optimisation of the body.

Lastly, supplements have been championed by women for decades to reduce effects of hormone imbalance. A variety of herbal supplements are available that either contain phytoestrogens to balance estrogen levels naturally or assist with libido, vaginal dryness, sleeplessness and mood stability.

We do suggest that before you head to your local wellness centre that you visit your Dr to ensure that you are taking the correct supplements.
