Do you feel like your perimenopause symptoms are taking over your life? Between the mood swings, insomnia, and unpredictable periods, do you wish that you could do something to feel radiant and healthy? What’s the secret to staying vibrant when you have perimenopause symptoms?
- Sleep well. Getting enough sleep gives your adrenal glands a chance to recover from stress, leading to hormone balance on a deep level. The more stress there is in your life, the more important the restorative hours spent in bed become. Try these tips if you have been having trouble sleeping.
- Exercise. We’re all pretty familiar with the benefits of exercise, but as an added benefit for women in perimenopause, exercise boosts nitric oxide, a feel-good molecule that creates a sense of wellbeing and enhances sexual pleasure.
- Eat enough fiber from vegetable sources. Fiber helps the body eliminate excess estrogen. Eating a variety of vegetables also helps you get other energy boosting and youth preserving nutrients and antioxidants.
- Get the right nutrients. Focus on foods high in minerals and antioxidants found in greens, nuts and seeds, and a variety of fresh produce to support adrenal health. Omega-3s are also important for reducing perimenopause symptoms, as noted on the Dr. Oz Blog.
- Relax. Nip adrenal-taxing stress in the bud by building relaxation practices into your daily routine.
