Menopause is something normal that can happen to many women. It happens when you stop menstruating and reach the end of your natural reproductive life. It’s defined as when you haven’t had a period for 12 consecutive months.

What Age Does it Start?

Menopause typically occurs between the ages of 45-55, or when your estrogen levels decline. The ovaries don’t ovulate or release eggs anymore. The timing of this can be different for many women. However, symptoms can begin or continue for many years before and after menopause occurs.

Tips on What You Can Do For Menopause

When going through menopause it is very important to stay on top of your health. A few things you can do to feel happier and healthier are below. 

  • Exercise regularly.
  • Consider looking into gut health and improving your diet.
  • Eat “happy hormone” foods such as chickpeas, oats, and lentils.
  • Pay attention to your calcium intake, this is something you lose after menopause!
  • Eat little, but often. This helps keep your blood sugar levels up. 
  • Think about your drinks. Pay attention to too much caffeine or alcohol.
  • Pay attention to your mental health, and see a therapist if you notice things don’t get better. 
  • Of course, always speak with your doctor if you have any other concerns. 

Self-care is essential to getting through menopause. Make sure to do the little things for yourself that make you happy. Buy yourself flowers to enjoy, get a massage, take a walk in the forest, or take up a new hobby. Menopause won’t last forever, but your happiness will.
