Hot flashes are the most common perimenopausal symptom that's experienced by 70 to 85% of women.
Hot flashes are caused by falling estrogen and rising follicle-stimulating hormones which are triggered just before or during menstrual periods and more frequently when women approach their final period.
Things that can magnify a hot flash are anxiety, tension, refined sugar and carbs, fruit juices, cakes, cookies, candy, white bread, wine, beer, coffee, processed, packaged food.
What can you do for hot flashes?
2% progesterone skin cream, meditation and relaxation (lowers stress hormone levels), acupuncture, black cohosh, dong quai, chasteberry, soy foods and milk that are not GMO, flax seeds freshly ground.
Soy milk and ground flax seeds in yogurt is a great way to start the day!
