To address the issue of hot flashes during menopause, women can take a series of measures to alleviate discomfort.
1. Maintaining regular lifestyle habits, including adequate sleep and moderate exercise, helps regulate bodily functions and reduce hot flash symptoms.
2. Paying attention to dietary adjustments, such as consuming foods rich in phytoestrogens, vitamins, and minerals—like soy products, fresh vegetables, and fruits—can help balance hormone levels in the body.
3. Learning emotional management techniques, such as meditation and deep breathing, can help relax the mind and reduce the impact of emotional fluctuations on hot flashes. In terms of clothing, choosing breathable, loose, and comfortable garments and avoiding overheated environments is recommended.
If symptoms are severe, consult a doctor about using herbal remedies or hormone replacement therapy, but do so cautiously and under medical supervision.
