Stress and fatigue are common problems during menopause. In such a situation, adopt meditation, light exercise and mindfulness. These habits give mental peace and help in controlling mood swings.

During menopause, hormonal changes occur in the body, which can lead to weight gain and reduced bone strength. In such a situation, take a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D. Make fiber rich foods (such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains) a part of your diet. At the same time, reduce the intake of caffeine and sugar, as these can increase mood swings.

Do not ignore the symptoms of menopause. Consult a gynaecologist and consider hormone replacement therapy (HRT) or other treatment options if necessary.
