Menopause can bring more than physical changes. Many women also notice changes in their mood, anxiety levels or overall emotional well-being during this stage of life.
Regular physical activity can support your overall well-being and may also help with mood during menopause. Even something as simple as taking a walk, getting some fresh air and stepping away from your screens and the workday for a little while can give you a chance to reset and feel refreshed.
You don’t have to spend hours at the gym to get started. Walking, stretching, yoga, dancing, strength training or simply finding an activity you enjoy can be a wonderful way to keep your body moving and give yourself a little time to focus on YOU.
I think one of the most important things we can do during menopause is find healthy habits that make us feel good, physically, mentally and emotionally.
So this week, take a little time to move your body in a way that feels good to you.
What’s your favorite way to get moving?
I started out over a decade ago watching Forks Over Knives, decided to “try out” the plant-based meal plan and had shockingly incredible results. I’ve never turned back. I have lost nearly 50 pounds, and that is just one side effect that me, my family, friends and clients have experienced after making the change.
Having been an incredible cook my entire adult life, I started my own personal chef service, NuYu Nourish, to extend my help to others. I interned under a celebrity chef, became a celebrity chef myself and have been expanding my reach and goals ever since! My plan follows strictly and simply those of Dr. Mcdougall, Dr. T. Colin Campbell and Dr. Esselstyn.
