Don't take calcium supplements. Calcium makes bones more massive,
but more brittle. A stout dry branch breaks easily, while a green one, no
matter how thin, won't break at all. Food sources of bone-building minerals
(such as yogurt, nettle infusion, dandelion vinegar, and cooked kale) include
"flexibility" minerals such as magnesium, boron, and zinc and are a superior
way to prevent bone breaks later in life says Weed.
Gain some weight. Women who gain 10-15 pounds during their menopausal
years have fewer hot flashes, stronger bones, and healthier hearts. (And
most of them lose the extra weight in the following decade.)
Try herbal hormones. Many common herbs and foods contain substances
that can be used like estrogens by the body. This is much safer than taking
estrogen supplements, which are known to promote uterine and breast cancers.
Be outrageous. The emotional extremes - rage, depression, anxiety,
and suicidal thoughts - that give menopausal women the label "hysterical",
actually serve important functions in helping women come to terms with aging,
death and profound personal growth.
Bursting with tidbits of detailed information such as these, and rich with
the forgotten wisdom of ancient times, NEW Menopausal Years The Wise Woman
Way is the perfect guide for menopausal women of today.
