As we age, our physical condition naturally deteriorates, especially when our body begins to enter menopause. Abnormal symptoms during menopause can occur in both men and women, but menopause in women is more obvious, especially when menopause occurs. The body will begin to deteriorate significantly, which occurs around the age of 45-55 (average age 50). The ovaries will gradually stop working, and ovulation will no longer occur, resulting in no menstruation and no more female hormone production. This is different from men, whose hormone production will gradually decrease, and physical changes will be gradual.

How can we prepare for a healthy menopause?
Changing your daily behavior because some activities may not give the same results when your body has hormonal changes, such as lack of sleep or heavy exercise for a long time. You should go to bed at the same time regularly, no later than 10:00 PM, to sleep soundly during the period when hormones are released to repair your body. You should also exercise at least 30-50 minutes per session, 3-5 times per week. In addition, you should relieve stress because stress is the main factor that makes menopause symptoms worse, such as doing hobbies, meditating, or relaxing your mind in various forms, massage therapy, music therapy, or using essential oils. Most importantly, you should eat nutritious food and get regular check-ups.
