About
MenoCoolŪ
Menopause , also
referred to as " the change of life, " is the point at which women stop
ovulating. The menopausal period affects each woman differently. Some
start early, some start and stop, but most experience the change around
the age of fifty. menopause usually lasts up to five years. Although estrogen
levels drop during the postmenopausal period, the hormone does not disappear.
Other organs take over in the productions of estrogen and other hormones.
The organs known as endocrine glands secrete hormones to maintain proper
bodily functions.
The symptoms of
hot flashes, dizziness, headache, difficult breathing, shortness of breath,
heart palpitations, and depression may be caused by an estrogen deficiency.
IF one is hypoglycemic, the symptoms are often more pronounced. Stress
puts a burden on the adrenal glands, causing them to overwork. Therefore,
the adrenals produce smaller amounts of the hormones pause. The hypothalamus
is the area of the brain that regulates the heat-producing mechanism of
the body. Hot flashes can be the result of widespread blood vessel dilatation.
To control severe symptoms in menopause, use the smallest possible dose
of estrogen every other day. Estrogen combined with progesterone reduces
the risk of uterine cancer. Estrogens may cause fluid retention and may
increase the severity of asthma, heart disorders, kidney stones, epilepsy,
or migraine headaches. Estrogens are important, but there is a risk in
their use.

Suggestions for women
going through the Menopause
-
Eat a diet consisting of 50
percent raw foods and take a protein supplement to help stabilize
blood sugar. Add blackstrap molasses, broccoli, dandelion greens,
kelp, salmon with bones, sardines, and white fish to your diet.
-
Do not consume any animal products
except for those recommended in this section. Avoid dairy productslimit
your consumption to small amounts of low-fat yogurt or buttermilk.
Dairy products and meat promote hot flashes. They also contribute
to a loss of calcium from the bones.
-
Avoid alcohol, caffeine, sugar,
spicy foods, and hot soups and drinks; they can trigger hot flashes,
aggravate urinary incontinence, and make mood swings worse. They also
make the blood more acidic, which prompts the bones to release calcium
to act as a buffering agent. This is an important factor in bone loss.
-
Substitute garlic or onion
powder for salt when cooking. Consuming salt increases urinary excretion
of calcium.
-
Drink 2 quarts of quality water
each day to help prevent drying of the skin and mucous membranes.
-
If a woman has hypoglycemia,
her symptoms often become more pronounced during menopause. Stress
puts a burden on the adrenal glands, causing them to work harder than
they should. The adrenals therefore produce smaller amounts of the
hormones that are needed to help reduce the effects of declining estrogen
in the body.

It's Not Funny!
Women hitting middle age and going through the menopause is the subject
of many jokes, and a lot of discussion. While a lot of people laugh
about it, the truth is, it can be anything but amusing to women experiencing
the menopause and their families. Part of the problem is the lack
of clear facts on hormone replacement info and other treatments that
women can take to alleviate symptoms of the menopause. More
Info
- Japanese women generally experience far fewer symptoms of menopause
than do Western women. An article in the British medical journal The
Lancet reported that the reason may be that Japanese women consume more
phytoestrogens (plant estrogens). These estrogenlike compounds are found
in foods such as soybeans, tofu, Miso, flaxseeds, pomegranites, and
dates. When these substances are eaten, they act like the estrogens
produced in the body.
- Garnma-oryzanol, a nutrient derived from rice bran, has been shown
to be effective in treating symptoms of menopause. A daily dose of 20
milligrams reduced symptoms by 50 percent in 67 percent of the women
studied.
- Smoking is associated with early menopause.
- Cut back on your sugar intake.
- Take a break from coffee, chocolate, colas (tough for a lot of people,
but think about feeling better!)
- Eat more tryptophan-rich foods such as turkey, bananas, figs, whole
grain crackers, figs, and dates.
- Eat more foods rich in phyto-estrogens and progesterones: soy flours
and beans, red clover sprouts, yams, and linseed.
- Eat more foods with high indoles: for example, brussel sprouts, broccoli,
cauliflower and cabbage.
- Frequent sexual intercourse can help relieve vaginal dryness.
- Many physicians recommend hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to control
severe symptoms caused by estrogen deficiency in menopausal and postmenopausal
women. Although hormone therapy appears to be effective, it does have
possible serious risks, which should be carefully considered. See Hormone
Replacement Therapy above.
- After menopause, a reduction in the amount of the sex hormone estrogen
can cause shrinkage of urethral and vaginal membranes, promoting incontinence.
There may be a continuous dribbling of urine. Urethral dilation helps
stretch a contracted urethra.
- It may be more important to replace progesterone than estrogen. Natural
progesterone
cream is a good way to do this.
- A good source of information on available strategies for coping with
menopause is Smart Medicinefor Menopause by Dr. Sandra Cabot (Avery
Publishing Group, 1995).
- Hypothyroidism is common in menopausal women. Many symptoms ascribed
to menopause may be due to improper thyroid function. (See HYPOTHYROIDISM
