Q What habits should I build into daily life to get through menopause well?
A Regular exercise, going to bed before 11 p.m., a diet centered on soy and vegetables, and cutting down on caffeine and alcohol are key. In particular, walking and strength training help both bone health and mood stability.
Detailed Answer
Consistent exercise is the foundation of menopause management. Walking and light strength training strengthen the bones, stabilize mood, and improve sleep quality. Eat plenty of soy foods and vegetables, and it is best to reduce caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods that trigger flushing. Simply keeping a regular daily rhythm can make symptoms considerably milder.
Korean Medicine Clinic Perspective
In Korean medicine, to keep the hormonal rhythm, we recommend going to bed before 11 p.m., keeping the lower abdomen and lower back warm, and favoring warm foods to support the production of qi and blood. By adding the habit of a foot bath before bed to bring down the heat that has floated upward, and combining treatment that steadies the wavering Yin-Yang balance, you can pass through menopause stably and look after your health beyond it as well.
