No woman looks forward to menopause – but it is inevitable.

The best solution is to be as well-prepared as possible and to face it head-on.

Knowing the facts can make dealing with menopausal symptoms a much more manageable task.

It is important to note that every woman might experience menopause a little bit differently than the next.

And when we know what to expect, and how to deal with it, menopause does not have to be such a scary thing. 

But here are 8 facts about menopause that every woman should know…

1. It is only officially menopause when you have gone a year without a period.

Periods can be irregular and inconsistent leading up to menopause. It is only officially classified as menopause when you have gone a full year without menstruating. When you stop menstruating completely, your ovaries stop producing estrogen.

2. The average age for menopause is 51 years old.

Most women will have their last period sometime between the ages of 45 and 55. But the results of various different studies from around the globe conclude that the average age is about 51 years old.

3. Menopause before 40 is considered early menopause.

Early menopause is usually due to something like genes or a medical condition. Medical conditions that can contribute to early menopause include an abnormal thyroid or a rheumatic disease.

If you have ever gone through chemotherapy it can also be a big contributor towards early menopause.

If your ovaries have been removed as part of a medical treatment, you will start with early menopause immediately.

4. The years leading up to your last period are called perimenopause.

Your estrogen levels can already begin to fluctuate in your 30s and 40s. This means that your menstrual cycles may be longer or shorter than they usually are. They may also become heavier or lighter. Sometimes you might even skip a period.

5. The soonest visible symptoms are usually hot flashes and weight gain.

These are also probably the most well-known menopause symptoms.

Hot flashes are sudden intense episodes where your body is overrun by a feeling of warmth or heat.

It is also common for this to happen whilst you are sleeping. It usually results in profuse sweating. Hence it is then appropriately called night sweats.

Other symptoms of menopause include:

• • • Sleep problems
    • Vaginal dryness
    • Mood changes
    • Headaches
    • Memory problems.

Some women experience these symptoms during perimenopause. Others don’t experience them until after they’ve stopped menstruating.

Some symptoms, such as hot flashes and memory issues, may go away after you reach menopause.

6. Menopause leads to bone loss.

Osteoporosis is a massive problem amongst women with menopause. This is due to the loss of estrogen.

Osteoporosis is a silent and serious disease. Luckily it is preventable.

You can do this by:

• • • Increasing the calcium in your diet
    • Add weight-bearing exercise to your routine
    • Check your vitamin D levels
    • Ask your doctor to check your bone density

7. The risk of heart disease rises after menopause.

This happens due to the drop in estrogen levels. Estrogen offers protection against heart attack and stroke.

Your risk is even higher if you have high cholesterol, high blood pressure and aren’t active. This is another reason to make healthy habits a top priority.

8. Lifestyle boosts can help you feel better.

Exercise:

Exercise helps to keep hormones in control and ensures that we are fit and healthy to deal with menopause and its symptoms.  It also helps to slow the loss of bone after menopause and keep your weight in check. It also increases natural endorphins, which could help with mood changes and irritability.

Any exercise helps, the important thing is just to get active every second day for at least 30-45 minutes at a time. Find something you enjoy doing, then exercise won’t feel like work. 

Eating healthy:

Other healthy habits, such as eating well, are also crucial at this time of life. But it is important to realize that this does not mean jumping from one crash diet to the next. It is a sustainable way of eating. We recommend the Manna Diet as a healthy lifestyle-type diet.

This little wonder of a vitamin plays a central role in many body processes and is on the A-list for menopausal women. Studies have linked it to preventing heart disease, osteoporosis, diabetes, cancer and weight gain. If that seems like a lot of prevention in one little vitamin, it is. The problem, though, is that as many as half of adults are deficient in vitamin D and are therefore not benefiting from it.
