6. Choose the Right Treat
Vacations usually bring a lot of opportunity for indulgence, and it’s perfectly alright to take advantage of that. However, how you choose to indulge and unwind can either take a big toll on your body, or help to relieve your nagging menopause symptoms.
When it comes to treating yourself, think about relaxing rather than consuming. Alcohol and rich, exotic food can trigger hot flashes and fatigue, so try to limit your intake. Stick to a glass of wine with a healthy dinner, and indulge the rest of your senses with an aromatherapy massage or a head-to-toe spa treatment. The more relaxed you stay, the less chance your symptoms will begin to interfere.
Menopause and anxiety have similar symptoms. By reducing stress, you can redistribute your energies towards managing menopause directly.
