Just when you thought you can’t get any warmer in temperature during a hot flash...

Your body has to prove you wrong.

Do you know your hot flashes might get even hotter? (kinda wishing for a firefighter husband right now)

For some women, the hot flashes they experience might just be in the “keep warm” setting.

Which means there are hotter days ahead, even as we head into icy winter.

So, what exactly causes a hotter hot flash ?

The #1 offender is  stress.

Especially during these trying times, we can’t help but feel stressed out when we’re in quarantine.

So, here are some possible  stressors that might be making your hot flashes hotter:

• The health of family and friends

• Complete changes in shopping and home life regarding quarantine

• What to do with the kids and a new 24/7-level of parenting with minimal support, if an

• Getting along with a spouse or partner, 24/7

• Job loss, business reductions, furloughs with uncertain re-start dates

• Loss and grief due to disappointments, cancellations, and plans of all kinds needing to be postponed

What helps manage your hot flash when you’re stressed? 

Well, we’re here to give you some healthier tips and ways to improve your menopausal health during trying times.

Take a deep breath first, you’ve been going through a lot and we’re proud of you.

Without further ado, here are our best tips:

Tip #1: Fill up with nutrients

Aiming to get as much nutrition in the fuel of your food is ideal. It’s not all about perfection, or all about kale, or all about the next food trend. 

It’s about finding the food your body needs in order to stay healthy.

Take special care around sugar, caffeine, and alcohol though, as those can tend to increase the frequency and intensity of hot flashes. 

Tip #2: Supplementation

There is no harm in sourcing for a few good supplements to help with the hot flashes.

You can turn to some potent phytoestrogens like Turmeric or Moringa to help rebalance your hormones.

Black Cohosh is one that works for many women in managing hot flashes. 

Magnesium Glycinate is also another good one, especially to aid sleep and ease joint pain.

Tip #3: Stay hydrated 

Did you know that we’re more easily dehydrated during menopause than we were before? 

It’s true. 

Hydration is more important than ever for skin, organ and cell function, mood, and hot flash management.

Tip #4: Move your body

Exploring more options on how you can move your body & keep active!

Staying active, even a little bit will help you physically, and mentally. 

Try taking brisk walks, swimming, or cycling as they are lower impact but still great cardio exercises.

Tip #5: Skip the smokes

If you’re looking towards tobacco for consolation, consider talking with others who’ve quit about their experience regarding menopause symptoms since putting down the smokes. 

Most importantly, try it yourself, for your best health and meno-management. Smokers are more likely to experience hot flashes than those who don’t.

Tip #6: Decrease stress

This one is a very obvious one yes, but it is the most important one yet.

Having a healthy outlet for your stress is vital in ensuring you stay free of hot flashes.

Someone may decrease stress by meditation or yoga, another may run, another may wander through a park or on a hike, another may knit or create or write. 

Even incremental decreases in stress as you continue to find out what works best for you will help in managing all of your menopause symptoms.

Tip #7: Seek support

Whether it’s medical or mental support…

Having someone to talk to will make you feel less alone. 

And two heads are definitely better than one in terms of helping you find practical solutions that work for your body and mind.

Don’t be shy to turn to your friends & family, because that’s what they’re there for, to provide you with support in your time of need.
