Water Retention During Menopause
Years go by, but water retention never goes away! In fact...
We now know that the presence of imperfections related to poor circulation and swelling in the legs is a normal genetic characteristic in women, but often - with the arrival of menopause - water retention tends to increase.
However, there are effective solutions for this condition, to reduce the feeling of heaviness and help women feel better.
Let’s see together how to eliminate water retention during menopause!
Why Does Water Retention Occur During Menopause?
Water retention essentially involves an excessive accumulation of fluids, caused by a slowdown in the lymphatic system and the microcirculatory system, leading to the formation of the infamous excess fluids.
Among the causes of water retention, we also find other equally important factors: hormonal changes, lifestyle, and diet.
Considering the hormonal changes that occur during menopause, when a woman's physiology changes in conjunction with the end of fertility, it is easy to understand that water retention could also worsen.
The decrease in estrogen, responsible for the body's metabolic activity, can negatively affect the accumulation of excess fluids, causing: slowed circulation, swelling in the legs, arms, and abdomen, a feeling of heaviness, and possible weight gain.
How to Eliminate Water Retention During Menopause?
The remedies to reduce water retention during menopause are no different from those recommended for all women who suffer from it, even during pregnancy.
In particular, it is recommended to:
● Eat healthy
When they tell us "we are what we eat," it is undoubtedly true; a healthy and balanced diet helps the body work properly. For this reason, it is advised to avoid processed meats, fatty foods, and reduce salt intake (try using spices to flavor your dishes!).
● Stay hydrated
One of the first things we are taught in school is that the human body is made up of 60% water, so it is evident how important proper hydration is for the body to function well. If you find it difficult to drink water throughout the day, try using tea or herbal infusions to motivate you!
● Exercise
Regular exercise improves both blood and lymphatic circulation, reduces body fat, and has a hormonal effect on both insulin and cortisol levels, the hormone responsible for stress. Also, during physical activity, our body produces endorphins, which make us feel better!
● Use targeted products for water retention
There are many products - such as the ones you find HERE - that help women combat water retention and cellulite, which can be applied daily or periodically to help the body drain excess fluids.
Combining these tips can significantly help combat water retention during menopause, and more generally, improve quality of life, energy, and the sense of well-being.
