What to expect from a Women's Health wellness programme
A wellness program focused on women's health is designed to improve energy levels, promote inner peace, support hormonal balance, and reduce stress. Nutrition plays a key role, and these programs follow a holistic approach. Below are some common elements included in wellness programs for women.
- Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is one of the oldest healing systems and is known for its effectiveness in restoring energy and hormonal balance. It can help with stress, sleep issues, digestive problems, and weight management. This approach views the body and mind as interconnected and constantly evolving. Acupuncture is often used to enhance energy flow.
- Herbal supplements such as black cohosh, dong quai, and red clover have been traditionally used to support hormonal balance, either as teas or in supplement form.
- Mind-body therapies like yoga, tai chi, mindfulness, and meditation are beneficial for reducing stress, increasing relaxation, and boosting energy.
- Massage therapy can relieve muscle tension, reduce headaches, and help ease body aches.
- Healthy nutrition is an important part of these programs, with specialized health spas offering dietary guidance to support hormonal balance. Foods rich in phytoestrogens, such as certain vegetables and grains, can help maintain a natural equilibrium.
Since natural therapies may not be effective for everyone, it is always advisable to consult a doctor before making changes to a health routine.
Happy women, in all stages of life
How to maintain your happiness, health and well-being during the transition of your life cycles. Some tips from health experts:
- Stay physically active: Regular exercise can help to reduce symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and insomnia. It also helps to maintain bone density and reduce the risk of heart disease.
- Healthy food: A diet rich in whole grains, fruits, vegetables and lean protein can help to maintain a healthy weight and reduce the risk of medical issues such as heart disease, digestion or diabetes.
- Manage stress: Menopause can be a stressful time, and chronic stress can exacerbate symptoms. Try to find healthy ways to manage stress, such as meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises.
- Get enough sleep: Insomnia and other sleep disturbances are common during menopause. Establish a regular sleep routine, avoid caffeine and alcohol before bedtime, and create a cool and dark sleeping environment.
- Hormone therapy: Hormone therapy (HT) can help to alleviate symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats and emotional wellbeing. However, HT is not appropriate for all women and should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
- Stay up-to-date with health screenings: Menopause is a time when the risk of certain health conditions, such as osteoporosis, heart issues or breast cancer increases. It's important to schedule regular health screenings to detect and treat any issues early on.
- Stay social: Maintaining social connections can help to reduce stress. Sisterhood is even more important when you age. Consider joining a support group with other women to stay connected.
