Menopausal Weight Changes: How to Manage Them? | Hormones and Circulation

From the late 40s onwards, many people notice that "their body has changed despite maintaining the same lifestyle." This is often due to changes in female hormones, which affect various aspects such as weight, circulation, sleep, and mood.

Common Changes During This Period

• Changes in energy expenditure and body rhythm
• Heaviness and swelling due to stagnant circulation
• Instability in sleep and mental well-being
• Cold hands/feet and hot flashes

Gentle Management Methods

During this period, an approach of 'harmonizing the body' is more suitable than intense restrictions. Based on keeping the body warm, aiding circulation, and getting restful sleep, it's important to consistently manage your condition in response to its changes.
