I am 51 and suffer from Menorrhagia, but I am in the age range for menopause. I don't want to suffer like the ladies in my life did when they went through their menopause.
Then I saw this TED Talk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJZ8z_nTCZQ

Reducing stress is the MOST important thing to do, but meditation helps. I like those fireplace videos with soft music playing to just sit and relax to. This is the time of life to let things go, like toxic people and meeting social ideals about what you are supposed own or be. Free yourself from convention. I decorate for Christmas Yule, but I do not feel like I have to buy anyone gifts; I do buy my sons gag gifts for their stocking because it makes me laugh. I do like to send friends and family lovely notes telling them how much I love and appreciate them.
Exercise is so important in all stages of life. I enjoy cardio that doesn't last longer than 20 minutes at a time and weighted exercises are good to do every other to every two days to keep those muscles strong. Plus, exercising generally helps with sleep, especially a walk outside in the cool Winter air.
This was a bit of a ramble, but I hope there is information above that helps you live your best healthy life. When you are doing healthy things, you can inspire others around you to be healthier too. CHEERS to Your HEALTH & Your Brain & 2022!
