Vitaminen en de overgang: wat heb je nodig?

Vitamins and menopause: what do you need?

The menopause or menopause can bother you a lot. Among other things, you may experience hot flashes, extra pounds or feel not quite balanced. Although menopause is a temporary state, you can do something about your symptoms by eating the right foods.

Other symptoms may include excessive perspiration, poor sleep and headaches. Getting the right vitamins can help you get through the transition well. Read here which ones they are and what they can do for you.

Omega 3 fatty acids

Your bones suffer greatly during menopause and omega 3 fatty acids are good for your bones, joints, heart and blood vessels. You can find these vitamins in fatty fish such as salmon, herring, anchovies and sardines. However, you can also take a supplement for it, such as the Omega 3&E van NewFysic. Twee capsules Omega 3&E bevatten evenveel Omega-3 vetzuren als 200 gram vette vis. Bovendien toonde een onderzoek ooit aan dat vitamine E kan helpen om opvliegers te beheersen tijdens de overgang.

Vitamine D

Vitamine D haal je uit zonlicht, vette vis, eieren en boter en draagt bij aan het op niveau houden van je botmassa én botontkalking tegen te gaan. En aangezien niet iedereen de dagelijks aanbevolen hoeveelheid haalt, is vitamine D is ook makkelijk te slikken als supplement. LEES OOK: Use MenoFysic if you are in menopause and suffer from hot flashes, night sweats and the like.

Calcium

As mentioned, menopause does not make it easy on the bones. Calcium offers a solution for this. It is a mineral needed for the formation of bones and teeth. Calcium is found in milk and yogurt, among other foods. Because the body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium, you can swallow a vitamin D tablet through a glass of milk, and you'll be there in no time.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is an all-rounder. It keeps your blood vessels, bones and teeth healthy. And - also quite nice - it can slow down the thinning and sagging of the skin. Vitamin C also contributes to a good resistance, which of course can never hurt. You can find vitamin C in strawberries, oranges and kiwis, among other things.

Tip against hot flashes

In addition to a balanced diet, another thing you can do to combat those annoying hot flashes is to exercise. Among other things, hot flashes are caused by stress. By creating exertion through exercise, you also give your body the opportunity to relax, thereby reducing menopause symptoms. Moreover, exercise helps with bone building.
