Normal hormone fluctuations. Hormones are
involved in almost every function in the
body from the reproductive cycle to how
fast your heart beats and your skin grows
and wrinkles, how much you remember and
how sharp your thinking is, to how much
energy you have on any given day. They
affect how your bones and muscles grow or
disintegrate, normal symptoms of pms,
where your body puts on fat, and the
strength and direction of all your
emotions. In the child bearing years, it
is essential for women to understand the
impact of normal monthly hormone
fluctuations on their quality of life.
Hormone metabolites. The liver is
responsible for safely metabolizing and
excreting chemicals from our body. The
normal metabolism of hormones in our body
results in unique ratio of two different
metabolites - 2-hydroxyestrone and
16-alphahydroxyestrone. The ratio of
these metabolites produced by the liver is
unique to every woman. 2-hydroxyestrone
is a neutral metabolite produced in a
healthier ratio in people who are at a
healthy body weight, consume a diet low in
fat and high in fruits and vegetables, and
exercise frequently. It is important to
incorporate diet and lifestyle choices
that help the liver to increase production
of healthy metabolites, such as
2-hydroxyestrone, while decreasing
production of undesirable metabolites,
such as 16-alphahydroxyestrone. These
choices should be incorporated into a
women's diet and lifestyle from an early
age for health benefits throughout life.
Premenstrual syndrome (pms). Periodic
bloating, breast discomfort, periodic
weight gain, occasional anxiousness, mild
mood swings, occasional sleeplessness,
decreased concentration, and joint
discomfort, all are just a few of the
common symptoms of normal premenstrual
syndrome. Up to 150 symptoms have been
experienced by women and 8 out of 10 women
suffer at least some symptoms.
The physical, emotional, and psychological
changes that occur in pms coincide with
normal changes that occur during the
menstrual cycle. Pms is a physiological
response to changes in estrogen and
progesterone levels that occur just prior
to menstruation. It is clear that
nutrition and exercise can significantly
affect pms symptoms, and the tremendous
increase of poor nutrition and sedentary
lifestyle parallels the increase in pms
symptoms.
Perimenopausal symptoms. Occasional
bleeding through the menstrual cycle, achy
joints, hot flashes, a temporary and minor
decrease in the ability to concentrate or
recall, changes in sexual desire,
sweating, frequent urination, frequent
wakening in the night, vaginal dryness,
night sweats, occasional anxiousness and
mild mood swings are just a few of the
symptoms that affect women in this time of
life. In addition to these symptoms that
are generally associated with the
perimenopause years, some women experience
many symptoms associated with pms. Any
one or multiple symptoms can last from 8
to 10 years, and women may experience just
a few symptoms or none at all.
Postmenopausal symptoms.
Absentmindedness, vaginal dryness,
frequent urination, frequent wakening in
the night, decreased sexual desire, slowed
recall or concentration, these are some of
the common symptoms women in the post
menopause phase of life experience.
There is a lot of products out there that
can help you. If you do a lot of
research, you will find what you need. I
have personally found a three phase
product line that I now market. Phase one
is for women in their child bearing years.
Phase two is for women in menopause and
phase three is for women in their
post-menopause years.
Science is out there, you just have to
find it.
Yours in health,
