Amelior – Relieving Menopausal Symptoms With Plants

What is Menopause?

Menopause is a natural change that most women will experience between 45 and 55 years. Menopause can be broken down in 3 stages: Perimenopause, Menopause, and Postmenopause.

Perimenopause is a 3-5 year phase prior to menopause. This typically begins for women in their 40s. Some notable changes are that periods will gradually become irregular and physical changes will start to happen. Women experience these symptoms to varying degrees, and for some, not at all.

Menopause is when a woman has not had her period for a full year. Many have the misconception that menopause is when period slows down or becomes irregular, but that’s perimenopause.

When a woman has reached menopause (no period for a year), they immediately enter postmenopause. This marks the end of an inspiring decade of the wonderful changes in a woman.

An important thing to note throughout this entire transition is that as your body goes through these changes, your nutrient needs will change too. This is why it’s important to choose a diet that is specific for the different phases in your life.

Not feeling like yourself?

Many women who are experiencing early menopause symptoms often feel worried and confused by the symptoms. These symptoms ranges from hot flush to increased anxiety.
