‘Menopot’ disappears - No more meno-bothers!
No More Meno-Bothers!
A few tweaks to your daily routine can erase the most vexing symptoms of menopause, making weight gain, hot flashes and aches a thing of the past.
1. TO RELIEVE JOINT PAIN
Set a Timer for 4½ minutes.
It’s a symptom that flies under the radar, but 77% of women have joint pain with menopause.
“Estrogen eases inflammation, and when menopause causes levels of the hormone to drop, inflammation and pain can increase,” says ob-gyn Sheri Puffer, M.D.,
with Texas Health Arlington Memorial.
The Fix:
Walk for 41⁄2 minutes twice a day.
Northwestern University scientists say bursts of activity are enough to signal the body to lessen the inflammatory response and lubricate joints.
2. TO MELT A MENOPOT
Boost your ‘good guys’
After menopause, 70% of us have trouble keeping our weight in check.
Luckily, boosting your “good bacteria” helps reverse middle- age spread.
“Our gut has hundreds of species of microorganisms, and body weight can be related to the amount and diversity of these organisms,” says Dr. Puffer.
Indeed, Harvard scientists say dieters who sipped three daily servings of kefir, a tangy, drinkable yogurt, lost 81% more belly fat than those who only cut calories.
Kefir boasts 10 kinds of beneficial bacteria that optimize the body’s ability to use food for energy.
3. TO NIX HOT FLASHES
Cozy Up With Tea
More than 70% of women experience hot flashes, and now scientists have found a cozy fix.
A study in Phytotherapy Research suggests regularly sipping Milk Thistle Tea cuts hot flashes 73% within three months.
Researchers credit silymarin, a compound that helps the liver deactivate excess hormones that throw your internal thermostat off balance.

Ham & Cheese Egg Cups MAKES: 12 INGREDIENTS - Cooking spray, for pan 12 slices ham 100 g grated cheddar 12 large eggs Salt Freshly ground black pepper Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish DIRECTIONS - 1. Preheat oven to 200ºC and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray. Line each cup with a slice of ham and sprinkle with cheddar. Crack an egg into each ham cup and season with salt and pepper. 2. Bake until eggs are cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes (depending on how runny you like your yolks). 3. Garnish with parsley and serve. Notes - If you like your eggs super runny, you might want to pull them from the oven a minute before you think they're ready. You'll need to let them rest for a bit in the muffin tin before taking them out (they'll be HOT), and during these few minutes, the eggs will continue to cook slightly. Credits - Delish.com

The Mood-Boosting Power of Handcrafts “Hand-based hobbies release dopamine in the brain, which heightens happiness” —Alton Barron, M.D. “When you use your hands meaningfully—by sewing, knitting or sculpting—you stimulate 60% of the neurons in the largest part of your brain, which releases dopamine, a hormone that helps you feel instantly calm and happy,” says Alton Barron, M.D., co-author of The Creative Cure: How Finding and Freeing Your Inner Artist Can Heal Your Life . Plus, engaging these neurons lowers levels of cortisol to tamp down anxiety. In fact, British researchers collected data from 3,500 knitters, including how often they knitted and any health conditions they had. Their findings: 81% of those with depression diagnoses reported that knitting boosted their happiness— significantly higher results than antidepressants! While creative projects like needlepoint and crocheting actively engage your hands for a boost in joy, Dr. Barron says other meaningful tasks...
