Inflammation

During menopause, hormonal changes can lead to increased inflammation in the body. The decline in estrogen, a hormone with anti-inflammatory properties, can exacerbate inflammation, contributing to joint pain, swelling, and discomfort. This can also impact overall health, potentially increasing the risk of chronic conditions like arthritis and cardiovascular disease. To manage inflammation, it is beneficial to maintain a balanced diet rich in anti-inflammatory foods. Build muscles with regular strength training and take up meditation or yoga as a means for balanced relaxation.
