Menopause Night Sweats

Menopause Night Sweats - Eliminating the Sweat Factor

Menopause night sweats are simply not pleasant.  These occur when your hot flashes come at night.  Apart from being extremely uncomfortable, they wake you up and disturb your sleeping pattern.  You may even have to change the bedding if everything ends up damp, which it often does.

Menopause Night Sweats and the Food Factor

There are plenty of things you can do to eliminate these uncomfortable menopause night sweats. First of all be sure to look at your diet. Start off by cutting your sugar intake and Junk foods.  Eat plenty of foods that contain phytoestrogens such as soy, tofu, and tempeh – these foods act as the natural hormone estrogen in the body, so will be a big help.

Along with the increased intake of soy products, eat plenty of fruit and vegetables and other foods such as Aduki beans, kidney beans, Soya beans, oats, olives and seeds. This will help your body in having the resources necessary to cope with all the hormonal changes it is going through.

Just imagine if you eat sugary snacks, processed and other junk food stuff. Your body is then having to cope with processing unnatural products so it doesn't have the resources to cope with all the natural stuff going on inside your body, hence you start to experience the more severe menopause symptoms.

On the other hand, you look after your body, putting natural foods and those that have a natural estrogen in your body, along with added menopause supplement, if you need extra help. Suddenly, your body has all the nutrients, enzymes, and vitamins it needs to just get the job done - and a lot more smoothly. Believe me when I say that those women who are proactive in their own health doing these things, really benefit and have a more problem free menopause.

Menopause Night Sweats and the Exercise Factor

Exercise always leads to improvement. No need to go mad, even a 30 minute daily walk will benefit you enormously. I can actually vouch for that. My current job is 20 minutes from my home, I thought I would walk as parking is a nightmare because I work at the local hospital. I had been suffering from waking up at ridiculous times for months.  Always falling asleep straightaway (from exhaustion I’m sure), but waking up at 2 or 3 am.

When I started to walk to work, honestly in a couple of weeks I was sleeping through the night. Eventually, I was wondering why as I had not done anything different. It suddenly came to me the only different thing that I was actually doing was walking daily. So help yourself and incorporate at least a walk into your schedule.

Menopause night sweats can be an absolute nightmare, so please don't just read this and do nothing. You don't have to suffer. Even incorporating at least a couple of the ideas will help you in sailing through your menopause.
