Signs And Symptoms Of Menopause

There are many signs and symptoms of menopause, which occur
when a woman stops menstruating. The gradual menopause
transition is due to fluctuating levels of female hormones
progesterone and estrogen. Menopause normally occurs in the age
range of 48-55 years. Such signs and symptoms of menopause occur
still earlier in women who have never been pregnant and who
smoke regularly.

Common Signs and Symptoms of Menopause

Absence of menstrual periods for a full year is a sure
indication of the onset of menopause. Hot flashes and mood
swings are among the most common signs and symptoms of
menopause experienced by more than eighty percent of women. Hot
flashes are a sudden warm feeling in either your neck and face
or your whole body.

Hot flashes normally with sweating and cold shivering could
form red notches on your arms, back, and chest. Hormonal
changes disrupt your body's natural ability to regulate body
temperature. You experience this common sign and symptom of
menopause in the middle of the night, disturbing your sleep.
Mostly hot flashes last from thirty seconds to five minutes.

Other common signs and symptoms of menopause include
depression, mood swings, and memory loss. You gain weight
around the waist and experience loss of stretchiness in the
skin. Lower estrogen levels leads to brittle bones, which lose
their calcium contents and become weak causing osteoporosis.
Fall in estrogen levels also increase risks of heart diseases.
Not all women experience all signs and symptoms of menopause.

Irregular periods are among the most general signs and symptoms
of menopause. Some women experience heavy bleeding for more than
ten days with periods occurring within three weeks. Vaginal and
bladder problems are few other signs and symptoms of menopause.
Vaginal infections are also common, sometimes leading to
problems in the urinary tract like incontinence, burning
sensation or pain when urinating.

Lower libido is another common sign and symptom of menopause.
Genital body tissue becomes drier and thinner causing pain
during sexual intercourse. Vaginal discomfort often causes
lower sexual arousal. Restlessness, anxiety, panic, depression
are all different signs and symptoms of menopause, often a
fallout of lack of sufficient rest due to disturbed sleep and
higher stress levels.

Other signs and symptoms of menopause include fatigue and sleep
problems, buzzing in the ear, etc. You are unable to sleep again
after waking up in the middle of the night. This causes fatigue.
You also experience stiffness in joints and muscle pain.
Thinning of hair and increased facial hair due to higher levels
of testosterone are other signs and symptoms of menopause.

It is however, not necessary for all women to experience all
such signs and symptoms of menopause. Some women may not
experience most of them while some others could experience all
of them. All signs and symptoms of menopause depend largely on
fluctuation of your hormone levels and your individual body
capability to bear such hormonal fluctuations.

Sometimes, the demands of modern life seem to require an endless supply of energy. It’s hard enough just trying to squeeze everything in, then finding the energy to actually do everything presents a whole other obstacle. Are *YOU* low on natural energy?

When it comes to maintaining your good health, even when we try to eat well, we're still disadvantaged…
The nutritional content of most food has been compromised over the years, not only by deficient soils and modern production, transportation, storage and processing methods, but also by the enormous amounts of chemical and artificial substances added to promote growth, storage life, taste and appearance.

It's for this reason that more and more medical authorities are advocating the use of vitamin and mineral supplements. However, finding them in the right combination can be both confusing and costly.

The best nutrition products I know of make use of knowledge gained from the botanical world's 6,000 year history. They incorporated health building nutritional herbs with the best modern technology to help our bodies cleanse and detoxify so that the cells - the tiniest living units - can be as fully nourished as possible.

This allows the cells to grow, repair and to perform their functions with the best possible efficiency so that we feel and look better and are more able to prevent and fight disease. Once the body begins to clear itself of toxins it can more efficiently absorb nutrition.
