‘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.

A Pantry Staple Cured her Chronic Joint Pain Severe joint pain left Sonya Holland facing a lifetime of prescription meds…until she found the amazing remedy right in her own kitchen! “Not again. I can’t take this anymore,” Sonya Holland groaned as she woke to familiar agonizing pain shooting down her arms and legs. The Palm Springs, California, 71-year-old had been battling ever-worsening aches for months. It had gotten so severe, she recently had to stop working as a massage therapist. This morning, she could barely walk to the bathroom. This won’t do, Sonya thought fiercely. I’ve got to take charge of my health. No More Pain Having had enough, Sonya dragged herself to the doctor, who after running tests, diagnosed her with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), an autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system attacks its own tissue. “RA is an incurable illness, but there is medication that can ease the symptoms,” the doctor said. But when he added that there were dietary and lifest...
How Doctors Speed COVID Recovery While we’re doing all we can to avoid COVID-19, it’s normal to worry about how we’d care for ourselves if we became infected. That’s why advice from doctors who’ve gotten sick and recovered is invaluable. Here, their top tips 1. Steam In The A.M. A hot soak first thing followed by Vicks VapoRub helped urgent-care physician Jehanne Julien-Banica, D.O., of New York feel better while she was battling COVID. “A 15-minute bath calmed the cough that hit when I woke up,” she says. And applying the rub to her chest eased the burning sensation when she breathed. Plus, studies show steam reduces the airway inflammation that triggers coughing, while camphor, eucalyptus and menthol in the rub open nasal passages. 2. Sip A Smoothie A body dealing with COVID breaks down muscle for energy to keep its systems running, says Sanjay Dogra, M.D., a pulmonary critical-care specialist in Michigan. “But getting enough protein build...

Slash Stroke Risk by 73% or More! If you’ve known someone to suffer a stroke in winter, there’s a reason why it might have happened then: According to Yale University researchers, chilly temperatures can tighten arteries and thicken blood, upping the odds of a clot. Thankfully, experts say these comforting tricks offer protection all winter long! 1. Sip Hot Water Wake up with a comforting mug of hot water mixed with a tablespoon of fresh lemon juice and honey, and reach for a couple of tangerines throughout the day.

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...
Blood Sugar Regulation on Keto Lifestyle: Understanding the Benefits and Risks The ketogenic diet, also known as the keto diet, has become increasingly popular in recent years as a weight loss and health-promoting tool. This low-carb, high-fat diet is designed to help the body enter a state of ketosis, in which it burns fat for fuel instead of glucose.
