How to cope with menopause without HRT?

How to cope with menopause without HRT?

How to cope with menopause without HRT? HRT is an abbreviation of Hormone Replacement Therapy.

HRT as a Fast and Solid Solution

As you may do, women in menopause often suffer from various unpleasant symptoms by lowered estrogen level by aging: hot flashes, night sweats, mood swings, and other mental health issues, a higher risk of osteoporosis, and so on. These symptoms lower their quality of life significantly, and hormone replacement therapy, HRT, is sometimes a fast and solid solution.

Risk of HRT

But, female hormones are naturally present in tiny amounts and maintain a delicate balance. Hormone replacement therapy (HRT), even when prescribed by a physician, carries a high risk of side effects as it involves manually adjusting this delicate balance.
While natural remedy is always better for anybody, the following people will especially need safer alternatives.

People who have had or are being treated for uterine fibroids, benign breast diseases
Breast cancer survivors
People with uncontrolled hypertension or diabetes
A person with unexplained irregular bleeding
Cholelithiasis
Heavy smokers
Highly obese people

Improvement of your daily habits

Natural remedy of menopausal symptoms starts from daily habits. Disturbances in the autonomic nervous system exacerbate menopausal symptoms.
People with severe symptoms tend to live a life in which the autonomic nervous system is easily disturbed, such as “poor nutritional balance” and “short sleep time.”

How menopausal symptoms are challenging (or easy) depends on the complex of various elements. We can’t expect total healing only through the improvement of one of them. Yet we can expect it may mitigate the attacks of such symptoms if you reach better habits of your diet, exercise, and other daily activities.

Four tips to cope with menopause without HRT but naturally

    1. Try keeping a healthy balanced diet
    2. Get 7-8 hours of sleep per day
    3. Keep regular exercise
    4. Soak in the bathtub to warm your body

Try Keeping a Healthy Balanced Diet

Diet is the base of your body to cope with menopause. Eat three meals daily, including carbs, main dish, and side dish.

A Japanese diet concept may help you frame a balanced meal.

Without proper nutrition, the body cannot function properly.
The autonomic nerves and hormone balance are also easily disrupted, worsening menopausal disorders.

Carbs: rice, noodles, bread, etc.
Main dish: meat, fish, egg, etc.
Side dis; vegetables, Mushrooms, seaweeds, etc.

To keep up such a balanced diet, it will be good to cook natural foods rather than eat easy processed foods.

Get 7-8 hours of sleep a day

Sleeping well is part of your simple course to cope with menopause naturally. Make sure you get 7-8 hours of sleep per day.

For good quality sleep, please be aware of the following.

Go to bed at 11:00 (at the latest at midnight)
Finish (Japanese style) bathing and dinner 2-3 hours before bedtime
Avoid using computers and smartphones at night as much as possible

Lack of sleep can disturb the autonomic nervous system and exacerbate menopausal symptoms.
Taking enough quality sleep to relieve mental health and physical disorders is essential. It will stabilize the autonomic nervous system.

Keep Regular Exercise

Exercise daily, such as stretching, yoga, walking, and swimming.

If you are too busy to find time to exercise,

“Walk longer than usual” when going out
“Squat” while watching TV
Try incorporating exercise into your daily routine.

Actively moving the body leads to “a blood circulation improvement” and “a metabolism improvement.”
We think it helps alleviate the symptoms of menopause because they allow the work of female hormones.

Soak in the bathtub to warm your body

Soak in the bathtub every day to warm up your body. (This is advice in Japan. If a Japanese bath is not available, try a foot bath. Or, you can warm yourself up even with a shower with some tips. I will write how at the bottom of this page. )

Warming your body will reduce your stress, and female hormone secretion will improve. In addition, it will help you fall asleep if you warm up your body a few hours before you go to bed. 

Furthermore, when stress is relieved and the autonomic nervous system works smoothly, the blood flow in the organs improves, and the secretion of estrogen (follicular hormone) becomes active.

Try A Natural Supplement

There is a natural and moderate therapy from within, based on Japanese traditional healthy foods.

Juveriente®’s Effisoy, launched in 2016, based on fermented soy bean germ extract has been loved as a natural menopause relief since its launching in 2016. 

Its primary function is to boost the weakened synthesis of a hormone precursor, DHEA. It’s safe as it only heals the natural synthesis function. The hormone boost doesn’t provide the only relief from menopausal symptoms. But, it also supports various aging issues and increases metabolism, which leads to weight loss.

Warm yourself up with a shower!

Japanese people have a culture of soaking in bath water in a bathtub. It is common sense for them that this daily habit helps beauty from within and sound falling asleep. We like to recommend this healthy habit to people around the rest of the world. But unfortunately, it is a peculiar custom in Japan, and most houses in other regions don’t have the necessary facility for it. We introduce an alternative way with a tool everybody has, shower. It may help you in your pursuit of how to cope with menopause without HRT.

It is essential to keep your neck warm.

Unfortunately, you can’t raise your core body temperature just by showering. Instead, the shower stimulates the skin and increases the sympathetic nerves, making it easier for the autonomic nerves to become unbalanced. However, there will be days when you just can’t take a bath. In such a case, try to warm your neck in the shower.

When the neck warms up, the temperature-controlling sensor in the preoptic area of the brain works, blood vessels expand, and the parasympathetic nervous system increases.

The areas to be warmed are the base of the neck and the back. At the bottom of the neck is a cluster of sympathetic nerves called the stellate ganglion, which regulates blood flow to the head, shoulders, and neck. When you warm up here, the sympathetic nerves decrease, and the parasympathetic nerves dominate. In addition, since thick blood vessels run in the back of the neck, the preoptic area responds by warming this area.

Keep the shower head as close to your skin as possible.

The point of application is to bring the shower head as close to the skin as possible. When you shower from a distance, the water droplets irritate your skin, making it easier for your sympathetic nerves to react. It is a good idea to get as close to the skin as possible so that you can feel it as a “mass of hot water” and warm it to massage it. The temperature and time should be about what you feel comfortable with. And even after taking a shower, it’s a good idea to warm your neck by, for example, putting a hair dryer on the back of your neck when drying your hair or placing a hot towel on it (be careful of burns).

Benefits

Warming your body will reduce your stress, and female hormone secretion will improve.

The neck is a very stiff part. It is like a bridge that connects the brain and the body, supporting the head, which accounts for 10% of the body weight. A regular neck has a 30 to 40-degree curve in the cervical vertebrae, which acts like a spring to absorb the load and prevent neck stiffness even if the head is slightly misaligned. However, modern people have a straight neck due to long desk work and smartphone browsing, so they are stuck.

In particular, women’s necks are about 5 to 6 centimeters thinner than men’s. They tend to be stiff because they support their heavy heads with fewer muscles. Warming the neck and improving the blood flow will wash away fatigue substances. The autonomic nerves will be balanced, and the stiffness will be refreshed.

Warming up yourself with this method a few hours before bed will help you fall asleep more easily. 

Best Bone Supplement for Elderly

Osteoporosis is characterized by decreased bone density and mass, increasing fracture susceptibility. Since it is more likely to progress with age, the incidence increases. In addition, in the case of older people, there are many cases where this disease makes them prone to fractures or become bedridden. What is the best bone supplement for elderly?

Medicines for osteoporosis

Avoiding too strong medicines in their health care may be better for older adults. Bisphosphonates may cause gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and stomach pain, while SERMs may worsen menopausal symptoms. Active vitamin D3 drugs, on the other hand, are characterized by fewer serious side effects.
In addition, as a side effect of Bisphosp

Sleep well

honates and Denosumab, which suppress the action of bone absorption, cases of jawbone necrosis during dental treatment, such as tooth extraction, have been reported as rare cases. When you receive dental treatment, tell your dentist that you are using the medicine that suppresses bone absorption, and also make efforts to manage oral hygiene. Although rare, atypical femoral fractures also happen.

Calcium and Vitamin D as bone supplements for elderly

The first bone supplements that come to mind are calcium and vitamin D.
In December 2017, the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Tianjin Hospital, China, published an interesting academic paper. The title was “How do calcium and vitamin D supplements affect osteoporosis?”
(Reference: Association Between Calcium or Vitamin D Supplementation and Fracture Incidence in Community-Dwelling Older Adults: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.JAMA. 2017 Dec 26./)

It concludes, “There is no evidence to suggest that calcium alone, vitamin D alone, or both calcium and vitamin D can prevent vertebral and hip fractures in the elderly, etc.
There have been various claims that those two materials help bone health, and even the clinical guidelines for osteoporosis prevention recommend supplements in some countries.
This new opposite perspective caused repercussions in the related industries.

What else do we have? Best bone supplement for elderly?

Beside the above famous materials, Juveriente®’s natural bone supplement, “Bone Strength Complex” may be the new best supplement for elderly. Since its launching in 2016, it has gathered positive feedbacks as the following.

Mandarin OrangeI have been taking Juveriente Bone Strength Complex for two years. I was waiting for my bone density test this year to write a review. My bone density test results improved. I was diagnosed with Osteoporosis two years ago. The prescription medications for Osteoporosis have too many side affects and I was looking for a good alternative. I am proud to report this product works and has no side affects. The gel capsules are easy to swallow.” (Nov. 17th 2022, a product review for our Amazon shop)

The main functional ingredient is simply an extract of a Japanese popular citrus fruit. Needless to say, it is better to try a natural food before jumping to strong medicines. Please learn details in our product page.

Osteoporosis prevention by bone strengthening

What is necessary to prevent osteoporosis other than supplements?
The answer is “stimulation to strengthen bones = exercise (strength training).”

The German medical scientist Wolff advocated that “bone repels applied force (Wolff’s law.).” Now we know that bone density increases by training muscle strength.

Osteoporosis is particularly prevalent in older women. They say that the risk of developing osteoporosis in women is several times higher than in men because the secretion of hormones in women decreases markedly due to menopause, and the inhibitory effect of estrogen on bone resorption decreases.

“strength training to strengthen bones” is necessary to reduce this risk even a little.

Senile osteoporosis symptoms, prevention and therapies

Today we will discuss about osteoporosis focusing on senile osteoporosis symptoms. What are the differences from other types and how can you prevent and treat?

What is osteoporosis

In a disease where bone density decreases, bones gradually become brittle and prone to fractures. It is osteoporosis. There are two types.
The first type is primary osteoporosis. There is no specific cause, just functional bone formation and resorption abnormalities.
There are three types of primary osteoporosis.

(1) Postmenopausal osteoporosis
(2) Senile osteoporosis
(3) Idiopathic osteoporosis

Osteoporosis in older women is a mixture of two components: postmenopausal osteoporosis and senile osteoporosis.

The second type is secondary osteoporosis. It happens upon another underlying disease.

About senile osteoporosis

A deficiency of estrogen, the primary female hormone, causes postmenopausal osteoporosis. Estrogen works in women’s bodies to regulate calcium uptake into bones. Postmenopausal osteoporosis usually affects postmenopausal women between the ages of 51 and 75, although it can occur earlier or later in some women.

On the other hand, we think senile osteoporosis is caused by age-related calcium and vitamin D deficiency and an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation. It usually affects people over 70 and is twice as common in women as in men.

Senile osteoporosis symptoms

(1) The most significant difference in senile osteoporosis is not in the symptoms but the age when it happens.  That is, the aftermath of possible bone fractures. Once a fracture occurs, it may force long-term rest, leading to “bedridden.” for older people. (Falls are the most common cause of bone fractures in them!)

(2) The symptoms are almost the same as other osteoporosis. The loss of bone density progresses very slowly. For this reason, there are no symptoms in the early stages of osteoporosis, and even as the disease progresses, subjective symptoms may not appear at all. When bone density decreases and bone deformation or fracture occurs, sudden intense pain, gradual aching bone pain, and body deformation appear.
In long bones such as arms and legs, the epiphysis (base of the bone) is fractured rather than the center of the bone.
In the spinal column (vertebrae), fractures are more likely to occur from the middle of the back to the lower back. The spine is particularly prone to fractures due to osteoporosis.

Prevention of senile osteoporosis

Prevention works much better than treatment for osteoporosis in most cases. You should maintain and increase bone density to prevent osteoporosis by; taking adequate amounts of calcium and vitamin D, engaging in weight-bearing exercise, and, in some people, taking drugs.

Estrogen replacement therapy helps women maintain bone density.
This treatment is most effective within 4-6 years after menopause, but it will work even later.
The decision to implement estrogen replacement therapy after menopause is complicated. This treatment has side effects and risks. It increases the risk of developing uterine cancer and slightly increases the risk of breast cancer.
Taking progesterone with estrogen reduces the risk of developing uterine cancer. However, the risk of developing breast cancer does not change.

Natural supplements for senile osteoporosis symptoms

Hormone replacement therapy and osteoporosis medicines may be too strong. On the other hand, natural supplements help women of any age without reverse effects because they are only from foods. We, Juveriente®, recommend you two types of our natural supplements to address senile osteoporosis.

3 Natural ways to prevent hair fall in women

Natural ways to prevent hair fall in women

By learning natural ways to prevent hair fall in women, you will avoid or mitigate hair loss and help you grow stronger hair in the future.

(1) Improvement of lifestyle
(2) Hair care
(3) No stress

Keep doing them every day and help your hair grow from within.

Even when you take medical treatment, you should take those natural care simultaneously.
No matter how much hair grows with the treatment, the hair may weaken again if you leave the underlying health condition not cared for.
Hair is also a barometer of health, so caring for hair from within means caring for your whole body’s health.

I will tell you what to do specifically about the above three natural ways to prevent hair fall in women.

Improvement of lifestyle

Diet, sleep, and exercise are essential natural ways to prevent har fall through improvement of them.
When it comes to diet, the following nutrients are said to be particularly good for hair:

Protein (animal/vegetable)
Vitamins (B group, A, D, E, K)
Minerals (iron/zinc)
Protein is the hair material, and other nutrients work to smooth metabolism and balances female hormones.
Especially when you’re in your 40s and 50s, you’re eating less, so try to be conscious of how much you eat to have a well-balanced diet.

Sleep well

Also, the secretion of growth hormone, essential for hair growth, is affected by sleep time and quality.
Go to bed at least before the date changes, and aim for a solid 6-7 hours of sleep.

In addition, 2 to 3 times a week is OK, so moving your body for about 20 minutes at a time is ideal.
Metabolism and blood flow to the scalp will also improve, and sleep quality will improve.

Hair care

Hair care is so vital that they say, “healthy hair comes from a healthy scalp.”
However, I don’t recommend blindly buying hair care goods and trying everything.
It may worsen the scalp environment if it is not suitable for you.

Rather than which hair care product you use, the important thing is to acquire a shampoo method to keep your hair and scalp clean. It is the point as one of the natural ways to prevent hair fall.
Before shampooing, lightly brush to remove dirt, and then pre-wash with warm water to remove dirt without applying any force during shampooing.
By the way, the temperature of the hot water should be around 38-42°C.

In addition, it is crucial to wash the shampoo gently by massaging the scalp.
The final rinse should be about three times as long as the shampoo, especially the nape and the back of the head, which people often forget to rinse.

No stress

Stress has various effects on the body, so much so that it is said to be the “source of all kinds of illness.”
Lack of blood flow to the scalp caused by the disturbance of the autonomic nerves can lead to hair loss and even hair quality deterioration. So, caring for stress is also one of the natural ways to prevent hair fall.

Aging is beautiful

If you know the cause of your stress, you should keep yourself off it. But there may be situations that you can’t do.
In such a case, do what you like and try to vent regularly.

Communication with like-minded people
move the body
Try watching a movie or reading for a change
Travel
Etc.

It doesn’t matter what you do. So please create a hobby or enjoyment and use it to relieve stress.

Hair fall during menopause 2

Hair fall during menopause

Changes in hair volume and quality characterize hair fall during menopause. It may be one of the symptoms of menopause seen in people in their 40s and 50s.

Thinning hair in women can occur by various causes besides hair fall during menopause. It is difficult to tell the reason by looking at the initial external symptoms. You may be able to suspect hair loss during menopause if you have other menopausal symptoms like the following.

Typical menopausal symptoms

Mental symptoms

⇨ Irritability, low motivation, depressed mood, insomnia, etc.

Physical symptoms

⇨ Headache, stiff shoulders, dizziness, heart palpitations, pain in the waist and back, etc.

Symptoms related to blood vessels

⇨ Hot flashes, sweating, cold hands and feet, etc.

Major causes of hair fall other than menopause

In addition to hair fall during menopause, there are other types of hair fall such as:

Alopecia areata symptom

Illness-related alopecia

including thyroid dysfunction, iron deficiency anemia, gynecological disorders such as ovarian cysts and polycystic ovaries

Traction alopecia

The causes of hair loss in women are complex, and medical conditions may trigger it. Treatment methods vary depending on the symptoms, so it is essential first to clarify why hair fall occurs.

3 Ways to address hair fall during menopause

There are various methods to deal with hair fall during menopause, from over-the-counter hair care products to natural supplements to pharmaceuticals, as the following.

(1) Treatment to promote hair growth
(2) Hormone balancement
(3) Coping methods other than treatment

Let’s take a closer look at these three treatments.

Treatment to promote hair growth

You can use minoxidil for hair fall during menopause. It seems to have a hair growth effect regardless of gender. But, please consult your doctor before considering treatment with drugs.

Hormone balancement

Menopause is a 10-year period that includes menopause, and a decrease in the secretion of the female hormone (estrogen) causes various physical and mental symptoms, including hair loss.

You can expect recovery from the symptoms with HRT (hormone replacement therapy), which compensates for the lack of female hormones.

Types of HRT include:

Oral medicine
Transdermal medicine (patch, ointment)

There are two types, but neither is a treatment method specialized for hair fall. It is a treatment for menopausal disorders, so please be aware that you can’t directly expect hair growth.

HRT also comes with risks, which can increase the risk of breast and endometrial cancer. If you are considering treatment, have regular breast and uterine examinations.
Other possible side effects are Irregular bleeding, breast tightness and pain, birthing, firmness of the lower abdomen, nausea, etc.

We also recommend a natural supplement made of food extracts. It works moderately but far more safely.

A natural way to rebalance your hormone

Juveriente®’s Effisoy, launched in 2016, based on fermented soy bean germ extract has been loved as a natural menopause relief since its launching in 2016.

Coping methods other than treatment

As a coping method that does not use pharmaceuticals,

wig
hairpieces

There are effective ways to hide thinning hair on the parting and parietal area.

There are also reports that the QOL of women who use wigs or hairpieces improved, so using them as a temporary measure is one option. However, it will be better to consider that wigs and hairpieces are not real solutions to hair fall during menopause. It’s just a “hidden state.” Depending on the quality, the scalp environment may be disturbed due to stuffiness, and hair fall may worsen. Also, maintenance costs are higher than generally expected. It may exceed the price of medical treatment.

The following article will discuss lifestyle habits to prevent menopausal hair loss.

Hair fall in menopause

You may be suspecting that you have hair fall in menopause. We will talk about hair fall in menopause and the treatments for improvement through the series of posts starting from this one.

Hair fall in menopause and symptoms

Women’s hair troubles are increasing in their 40s and 50s. However, it is natural for hair to lose volume with age. The hair turnover cycle changes from 28 to 45 days, and metabolism slows.

Therefore, only the hair volume reduction does not necessarily mean it’s by menopause. You should suspect hair fall in menopause if you have the following symptoms besides hair volume reduction.

(1) The skin is transparent.
(2) Wide and conspicuous
(3) Changes in hair quality, such as swelling and dryness
a lot of hair fall
(4) Fewer hairs growing from one pore

These symptoms occur when hair growth is not catching up due to disruption of the hair cycle. The leading cause is a drop in female hormones. Other reasons, such as a drop in blood flow, disordered lifestyles, and excessive stress, can also be involved in a complex way.

They also say that genetic influences play a role.

Unlike men, women often maintain a certain amount of hair as they age.

However, various effects on the body and mind are likely to appear when menopause approaches, and hair fall and thinning hair are one of the typical symptoms of menopause.

What happens when hair fall progresses?

As hair fall in menopause progresses, it can majorly impact your mental state as your appearance changes.

– I’m embarrassed to go out in the presence of other people because they can see my head’s skin.
– The hair loses volume, and hair styling does not go well.
– Every time I look in the mirror, I feel depressed.
Etc.

In addition, menopausal symptoms can lead to emotional instability, and the unpleasant feeling of hair loss may drive it.

The number of women who think they like to be “beautiful forever” has recently increased. For that reason, the deterioration of QOL (quality of life) due to the progress of hair loss and menopausal symptoms may change not only the appearance but also the lifestyle of women.

Chinese medicine for skin in menopause

Today we talk about skin problems caused in menopause and introduce you effective Chinese medicine for skin, and more.

The cause of rough skin is the disturbance of female hormones during menopause.

One of the causes of rough skin is the disturbance of female hormones during menopause. The menopausal period is between the ages of 45 and 55, which includes around ten years before and after menopause. During this period, estrogen, the female hormone, drops sharply, and various effects appear during menopause.

Estrogen is also involved in the production of ceramide (a component that keeps moisture in the skin’s stratum corneum), collagen in the dermis layer under the epidermis, and hyaluronic acid (a component that supports the skin).

A decrease in estrogen reduces the amount of ceramide, collagen, and hyaluronic acid. These materials are essential for maintaining beautiful skin. When either decreases, the skin becomes dry, and problems such as rough skin and rashes are more likely to occur.

In addition, cells oxidize due to aging, which causes the dermis to lose its firmness and become inelastic. External factors such as ultraviolet rays and smoking are also said to cause skin oxidation, which burdens the skin.

I will introduce you to the usual self-care methods to improve rough skin during menopause.

3 ways to improve rough skin, including Chinese medicine

One of the treatments for menopause is hormone replacement therapy. It is a method of replenishing the lack of estrogen with drugs and relieving hormonal imbalance. It is effective, but at the same time, there are risks of side effects. You need a doctor’s prescription, but it’s yet delicate to handle even with it.

As more natural and safe options, we recommend the following approach based on self-care and Chinese medicine.

(1) Review your usual skincare

Improper care can cause skin irritation. First, don’t wash too much. Unlike when you were young, your skin has less moisture and oil, so the same facial cleansing method will leave it dry.

Also, it is essential not to rub too much so as not to break the skin barrier. Avoid washing your face more than necessary.

In addition, it is crucial not to apply too much cosmetics. Creams and oils are also foreign substances for the skin. If you use too much, it will be too much of a burden on your skin. It is also important to choose cosmetics based on what suits your skin.

(2) Foods to help your skin

Improving your diet can help you take control of your skin. The key to long-lasting dietary improvement is to wisely incorporate foods that are good for your skin and delicious. Here are our recommended menu items.

Fermented Soy Foods
Isoflavones from fermented soy are ready to be absorbed and help you to rebalance your hormone. The typical food is Miso for Miso soup, but it may be hard for Westerners to take it. Juveriente®’s natural supplement Effisoy® will bring you the essence more easily.

Lever
Vitamins B1 and B2 in the liver are closely related to skin health and prevent rough skin. Since B vitamins are water-soluble, they do not accumulate in the body, and you must take them daily from meals.

Salmon
Salmon contains astaxanthin, an antioxidant, and vitamin A, which helps keep the skin healthy. It is high in protein, and the skin is rich in collagen.

All of them are easy to put on the table, so let’s actively take them and aim for beautiful skin.

(3) Aiming for Improvement with Chinese Medicine for skin

“I want to improve rough skin from the root.”
“I have a resistance to Western medicine, and if possible, I do not want to use it.”

They say Chinese medicines are effective for skin problems such as rough skin, spots, and atopy.

Such herbal medicines are from natural ingredients such as plants and minerals. It is also said to have fewer side effects than Western medicines.

Chinese medicine considers the skin a mirror of the internal organs, and it aims to improve your skin from within.

In addition, the aim of Chinese medicine is not symptomatic treatment. Herbal medication can help those who suffer from recurring symptoms or who want to break out of a vicious cycle by improving the base of health.

Even those who find it difficult to follow strict dietary restrictions and meticulous skin care daily can easily continue. They only need to take herbal medicine that matches their symptoms and constitution daily.

Chinese medicines for dry skin

Unkeito: A herbal medicine that treats skin problems such as eczema and skin symptoms. It is often used for gynecological conditions.

Orengedokuto: For those with physical strength. In addition to eczema, dermatitis, and itchy skin, this herbal medicine is also used for irritability and neurosis.

When choosing herbal medicine, taking a set that suits your constitution is crucial. Otherwise, you may not be able to improve symptoms, and side effects may occur. Please consult with a doctor or pharmacist who is knowledgeable Chinese herbal medicine.

Another option with the same concept as Chinese medicine, from Japan

As something ready for prompt shopping in the USA, Juveriente®’s natural supplements are under the same concept as Chinese herbs, natural and moderate therapy from within, based on Japanese traditional healthy foods.

Juveriente®’s Effisoy, launched in 2016, based on fermented soy bean germ extract has been loved as a natural menopause relief since its launching in 2016.

Menopause cold hands and feet

What is “menopause cold hands and feet”?

“Cold hands and feet” is a common symptom among women. While there are various causes, one major cause is an autonomic nervous system imbalance. For example, a lack of smooth blood circulation causes coldness in the limbs and lower back. It is one of the various symptoms of menopausal disorder. That is, “Menopause cold hands and feet.”

In addition, “cold hands and feet” is closely related to the physical constitution. They say it often happens that skinny people, who don’t like exercise, have gastroptosis or low blood pressure, and have a lot of menstrual flow, have cold hands and feet.

Relationship between “cold hands and feet” and hormones

The symptom of “cold hands and feet” is common among women. It happens more often in menopause. It is because poor circulation is related to the secretion of female hormones. During menopause, hormone secretion from the ovaries decreases. On the other hand, to compensate for it, the hypothalamus in the brain secretes excessive gonadotropins to the ovaries. When the autonomic nervous system becomes imbalanced due to this hormonal imbalance, it hinders the function of dilating and constricting blood vessels. As a consequence, blood circulation may not be smooth. In such cases, the limbs and lower back may feel cold, and symptoms such as hot flashes, sweating, and low (high) blood pressure are likely to be induced.

3 principles to address menopause cold hands and feet

Bathing

Bathing with a Japanese bath is effective in improving blood circulation. But it may not be available for most people in Western countries. You can warm up your body by showering from your back neck through your back for about one minute. Or a foot bath will also be very effective.
Before bed, by an hour or so, warm up your body from the core. It will also help you fall asleep fast because your core body temperature is downturn when you go to bed.
In addition, stimulating your skin with a body brush when washing the body will enhance your autonomic nerve function.

Exercise

Moderate exercise warms the body and improves blood circulation with improved physical strength. Get into the habit of exercising that makes you sweat lightly, such as gymnastics or jogging, every day.

Diet

It is also essential to have a nutritionally balanced diet. Avoid foods that cool the body; eat plenty of warm foods and root vegetables. In addition, vitamin E improves blood circulation and adjusts the balance of hormones, so be sure to supplement it actively.

Summary

Vertigo is a terrifying thing to experience. The above is the summary of menopause dizziness.

Memory deterioration with age

What causes memory deterioration with age?

Many people must have experienced memory difficulty and “getting more forgetful” as they age. Most people don’t know what causes memory deterioration with age. Here we show you the primary causes behind it and how you can improve it.

4 causes of memory deterioration

Due to aging

One of the causes of memory deterioration is the decline in cognitive function due to age. It is essential in daily life, such as comprehension, judgment, memory, and the ability to understand language.

One of the symptoms caused by cognitive decline is memory deterioration. Although there are individual differences, humans are said to decline in cognitive function from around 60 gradually.

No breakfast

Do you sometimes or even often skip breakfast on busy mornings?

Skipping breakfast can lead to a lack of energy in the brain, leading to memory and concentration deterioration. 

Glucose is the primary energy source for brain activity, but you can’t store glucose in large amounts in your body. So it tends to run out quickly. In other words, you starve your brain without breakfast. Starving brain will fall in memory deterioration.

Lack of sleep

Chronic sleep deprivation causes daytime sleepiness, low motivation, and memory deterioration. They say, modern people, especially children and working people, sleep the shortest in history. Get as much sleep as you can.

If you have insomnia, consider consulting a specialist.

Effects of medicines

More people take medicines daily with age. Medicines such as antidepressants, antipsychotics, and antianxiety drugs (sleeping pills) can cause memory loss.

Therefore, if you feel that someone close to you is having memory deterioration problems, check if they are taking medication and what they are taking, and consult your doctor.

How to prevent memory deterioration

Some exercise and good diet habits will prevent or, at least, mitigate your memory deterioration with age. 

It is vital to prevent lifestyle-related diseases and chronic diseases from worsening to keep your cognitive function active. Acquiring moderate exercise habits, such as aerobic exercises such as walking and aerobics, leads to maintaining cognitive function.

In terms of diet, try to eat plenty of vegetables, fruits, and seafood in a well-balanced manner. Intake of polyphenols, which is antioxidants and anti-inflammatory substances, and EPA/DHA are also said to have preventive effects.

You can also actively participate in social activities. Communicating with other people, including family members, can be expected to activate the brain.

Early measures are essential for memory and cognitive deterioration.

One of the causes of memory loss is cognitive decline.

It is crucial to review lifestyle habits, such as acquiring dietary content and moderate exercise habits, to prevent the deterioration of cognitive function.

Suppose you receive appropriate treatment while the symptoms are mild. In that case, you can delay and improve their progression, so do not worry alone and consult a specialist such as a medical institution.

Rebalance your decreased hormone with age

It is also essential to rebalance your decreased hormone with age. It will revive your power to keep up exercise and boost your metabolism for the better exercise effect.
