How can I manage hot flashes and other menopause symptoms?

Weight gain, irritability, skin changes and hot flashes are all symptoms of fluctuating hormones. Make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your symptoms and possible treatments. Once you decide on a program to treat your symptoms, you will hopefully start to feel better. Going through physical changes can be stressful. Second, menopause usually happens as the natural aging process kicks in. If you've practiced a lifetime of poor eating choices and lack of exercise, it's unforgiving during menopause. Now is the time to start eating nutritiously, exercising regularly, and dedicating time to pampering.
