The onset of menopause is inevitable, but what we can do is delay menopause arrival by following a few simple tips.


Menopause is the stage of a woman's life in which her ovaries cease to be functional and no longer produce estrogens or ova. Therefore, the woman stops having menstruation. It is due to hormonal changes in the woman because her body stops producing estrogens.

Menopause usually occurs between the ages of 41 and 55 in women, although the range of 35 to 59 years can be extended depending on each person and how to care for them. But usually after 51 is when it usually appears. Ovarian cycles are becoming slower and slower until the estrogens are slowly passing and there comes a time when the woman no longer produces more.

During the menopause the symptoms that the woman experiences are hot flashes, low libido, joint pain, vaginal dryness, anxiety, depressive symptoms, mood swings, etc. Once the woman has spent a whole year without a rule we can say that she has officially menopause.

Exercising regularly and outdoors will slow down the menopause process.

Menopause brings with it many long-term consequences because we are no longer protected by the effect of hormones, which helped us to be healthy. For example, estrogens facilitate the renewal of bone, without them the risk of osteoporosis is greater. They also regulated levels of good cholesterol and bad cholesterol, making it less risk of high cholesterol, hypertension, and diabetes. The skin will be affected because we will lose collagen and increase its dryness.

First of all, it is logical to think that the later the menopause comes in a woman, much better for her because while her ovaries continue to produce estrogens will be more protected against these risks than before. That is why many women try to delay menopause as much as possible, it is a good idea because delaying menopause has no negative effects on health, on the contrary, you are protecting yourself by stimulating the secretion of hormones that protect us. Here are some tips that can help you delay menopause.

Aerobic exercise is the one that has been mostly related to the greater segregation of hormones.

4. Give your body more soy. It was long ago discovered that the consumption of this legume in Asian countries was related to an increase in the age of the last rule. It is because soy and soy foods provide us with isoflavones and phytoestrogens, are compounds that mimic the effects of estrogen in the body of a woman and can delay the symptoms of menopause. Other soy foods include soy milk and tofu.

We must reduce the consumption of salt and sweets and not use them in excess.

5- Healthy eating. Eat vegetables and fresh fruits. Especially those that are rich in vitamin C.

• Other foods beneficial by the concentration of phytoestrogens are brown rice, wheat, onions, fennel, sunflower seeds.
• Reduce the sweets and salt. It is not about eliminating them from the diet, just limiting the amount.
• It also increases the consumption of quality proteins, especially those from fish, both white and blue.
• Cooking with olive oil.

"Some cereals have bran containing phytates. They are substances that bind to calcium and hinder the absorption in the bones. Therefore, although avoiding their consumption does not delay the onset of menopause if they reduce its harmful effects, such as possible osteoporosis.
6- Moderate consumption of alcohol. In general, abusive alcohol consumption accelerates the symptoms of menopause. However, it has been proven that moderate consumption may even be beneficial, but not all types of beverages, only fermented. Wine, beer, and cider have cardioprotective effects and relieve symptoms of menopause with controlled consumption. However, to delay menopause, the only drink that had significant positive effects is beer. Just as soy contains isoflavones and phytoestrogens that replace estrogens. It also fights osteoporosis because it reduces the loss of bone mass and helps in the uptake of calcium into the bones. A moderate consumption for a woman would be one or two canes daily at most.
