Self-Care is very important!

But unfortunately, it’s something many mothers don’t have the luxury of time for…

We know you have your hands full with the “invisible load” on your shoulders…

You know, the things you do that go unnoticed — but if you stopped doing them would immediately be felt by the entire household.

And sometimes, the stress of carrying such a load all does accumulate over time, and over time, mothers forget to take care of the most important thing of all…

Their own health.

But when the kids get older...

And they don’t need as much attention as they used to…

Mothers can finally find some time to take care of their health — especially during menopause, where annoying symptoms like weight gain, hot flashes and bloating start showing up.

So, if you’re a mother who is currently going through menopause, we have some self-care tips that might help:

Tip #1: Keep your body cool

Hot flushes and night sweats are the most common symptoms of the menopause. They're caused by a malfunction in the body’s normal methods of temperature control.

To ease hot flushes and night sweats:

• wear lighter clothing
• keep your bedroom cool at night
• do more exercise
• try to reduce your stress levels
• avoid potential "hot flush" triggers, such as spicy food, caffeine, smoking and alcohol

Tip #2: Find ways to de-stress

Hormonal changes during menopause can cause anxiety, irritability, mood swings, tiredness and lack of energy.

The following tactics can help improve your mood:

• getting plenty of rest
• regular exercise
• relaxation exercises, such as yoga and tai chi

Tip #3: Improve your sleep

Restful sleep will help you cope with night sweats and other menopausal symptoms. Improve your sleep by:

• avoiding exercise within two hours of bedtime
• going to bed at the same time every night
• wearing lighter clothing and keeping your room cool

Tip #4: Get regular exercise

There's evidence that women who are more active tend to suffer less from the symptoms of the menopause.

Exercise will help keep your bones and the muscles that support them strong. It will also increase your flexibility and mobility, which will in turn improve your balance.

Try these exercises:

• cardio
• strength-training
• yoga
• Stretches

Tip #5: Stop smoking

Women who smoke have an earlier menopause than non-smokers and have worse hot flashes. So if you’re still puffing, now is the best time to stop smoking for better health.
