Over the last century, the biological youth of a woman has been extended by 15 years: before menstrual function ceased in 40, and now - in 55. Nature clearly shows us that wilting is a relative concept, it can be pushed aside if one asks this goal. In this article, women's age periods are considered, the main problems that need to be addressed as they arise. And not later.
"No" to the age!
Andre Maurois claimed: aging is just a bad habit like smoking addiction, which you need to fight in time, not allowing it to take root in the body. Scientists fully share the point of view of the French writer.
In their opinion, the safety margin of the human body is calculated for at least 150 years, and very active. So why do we live less and grow old sooner? Yes, because we carelessly treat our own health, allowing the development of diseases, which in principle are easy to prevent, if we set ourselves such a task.
Century live - age heal
The newest branch of aesthetic medicine promises a happy deliverance from withering - anti-aging medicine. Its principle - beauty without health does not happen: external flaws signal about nascent diseases.
The main problems - wrinkles in the corners of the eyes and swelling around them, unhealthy puffiness of the face, second chin, pigment spots and other age-related changes, the world science now considers not as a natural and irreversible process, but as a disease with which it is possible and necessary to fight!
Every 5 years, the production of beauty hormones (especially estrogen) falls by 5-10%. The consequences of the endocrine recession, we do not immediately feel: between 20 and 30 years, the difference in appearance and well-being is not so noticeable, but then problems begin. The skin loses its elasticity, the metabolism slows down, the muscle tissue is replaced by fat, the weight grows, stretch marks appear on the abdomen and thighs ... And this general tendency is superimposed on private age problems - their own at every age.
PROBLEMS AFTER THE 30TH:
1. Violations of the monthly cycle
After 30, almost every woman faces this problem. With dysfunction of the ovaries, the rhythm and level of estrogen production is disturbed, and this is no longer a joke! The main female hormones control up to 400 vital processes inside the cell, including the renewal of the structural proteins of the skin, due to which it remains smooth and elastic. Want to look younger than your years, do not allow such disruptions!
Solution: rest, sleep back and try to fix the broken cycle with home remedies. If it does not work out - ask for help from a gynecologist-endocrinologist. 10 days before the start of the proposed menstruation, take an hour after breakfast 0.4 g of vitamin E, which stimulates the function of the ovaries and exerts an antioxidant (and, therefore, anti-aging) effect on the body. Drink for the same time half a glass of freshly squeezed carrot juice (100 ml) with cream (30 ml).
2. Vegetative dystonia
She's also a neurocirculatory. We often repeat that all diseases are from nerves, and experts correct - from vegetoneurosis. When you experience anxiety, the internal organs also become nervous: over time this condition is fixed on the physical level - the heart tingles, the pulse is broken, and the breath is caught ... Wishing to understand what is happening, you hurry to the therapist, but the examination shows - everything is in order. ..
Solution: write the day by the hour and, if possible, do not give up on this schedule. The nervous system loves stability and order in everything! Do a finger massage (shiatsu method), squeezing, stretching and stretching them, for several minutes 2-3 times a day. Particular attention is paid to the thumb, stimulating the work of the brain, and to the middle - the effect on it normalizes the pressure. Drink a soothing infusion of valerian, mint and horsetail, taken evenly. A tablespoon of the collection pour a glass of boiling water, heat 15 minutes in a water bath, strain and take 2 tablespoons 4-6 times a day.
3. Frequent colds
The likelihood of catching viruses rises on the eve of critical days and during menstruation, when immunity is weakened by the hormonal difference. Especially dangerous in this respect is the period between 32 and 33 years, there is a sharp decline in the body's resistance to various pathogens. The scientists are convinced that since we catch more colds, flu and herpes more often than other infections, they on average take 7 years of life from us and add to the passport age at least 4 years. This is not the case!
The solution: do not try to get the respiratory infection on your legs - take a week at least. Take care of yourself in the 4th, 7th, 8th and 12th months of your birthday. This is a zone of personal risk! To strengthen the immune system and prolong youth will help Tibetan prescription. Mix 100 grams (dry) of chamomile, St. John's wort, immortelle and birch buds. In the evening after a light supper, prepare a serving of elixir: pour a tablespoon of the mixture with 2.5 cups of boiling water, insist 20 minutes in a sealed container, strain. Dissolve a tablespoon of honey in a glass of hot brew and drink. Now you can not eat or drink until morning. The next morning, heat the remaining solution with steam, dissolve in it a teaspoon of honey and drink on an empty stomach. After 20 minutes you can have breakfast. Continue in the same spirit until the dry mix is over. Repeat the course every 2-3 years.
Food
Because of a decrease in the intensity of metabolism, the body's daily energy costs are reduced by 200 kcal every decade. To maintain a stable weight, consume 2000 calories, if you need to get rid of excess - 1800. Feed the body with vitamin-mineral complexes and supplements. With systematic training in fitness, increase the intake of natural vitamins and minerals by 10-15%. An hour or two before the workout, refresh yourself! If there is a short intensive load (30 minutes), lean on food with a carbohydrate index from 65 to 130, if the continuous average tempo is below 65 (index values for different products, see the table).
Sleep
You need to sleep an odd number of hours - ideally 9, but you can also 7. 1.5 hours before bedtime, eat 200 g of jelly, cold or white chicken. These products contain amino acids that actively help the body to smooth the skin.
Fitness
Go to the pool! Floating, you load all the muscles, giving rest to the spine, train the cardiovascular system. Attend the pool at least 3 times a week and swim without interruption for half an hour at such a rate that the pulse is 70-80% of the maximum allowable (this figure can be learned if you subtract 220 from your age).
PROBLEMS AFTER 40-KA:
1. Climax is approaching
The body is involved in hormonal reorganization. There are mood swings, the monthly ones get confused, become lean or long and plentiful. With blood from the body goes iron, anemia occurs, which leads to oxygen starvation of tissues.
Solution: to reduce blood loss, take calcium gluconate before meals, and after it "Ascorutin" (a preparation containing vitamins C and R) - 1-2 tablets 3 times a day. Brew as a tea herd shepherd's bag, peppermint or nettle, or a mixture of raspberry and peppermint leaves (1: 1). Begin taking infusions 3 days before the month and do it until they run out: a drink of herbs in half a glass 2-3 times a day, and tea made from raspberries and mint - as much as you like. The same property is possessed by corn stigmas. Pour a tablespoon of a glass of boiling water, insist 30 minutes, strain and take a tablespoon 6 times a day every 3 hours. Stop bleeding and acupressure. On the eve and during the menstrual cycle 60 times a day 2-3 seconds, press with your index finger at the point in the center of the hollow that connects the base of the nose to the upper lip.
2. Iron deficiency anemia
Hidden or obvious, it is observed in 75% of women over forty, especially in vegetarians and those who suffer from profuse menstrual periods. Her signs - a pale appearance, early gray, increased fatigue, dizziness, numbness in the hands and feet, the desire to chew chalk, breathe in smells of glue, lacquer.
Solution: Take complex iron-containing preparations ("Ferroplex", "Fenulles", etc.) and do not take it into your head to stick to a vegetarian diet: it is contraindicated to you! Beef liver and other by-products, egg yolks, mushrooms, buckwheat, oatmeal, soybeans, peas, apples, spinach, green lettuce, cabbage, beets, carrots, figs, dried apricots, dried apricots, oranges, mandarins, lean on beef. All these products are to some extent rich in iron. The trouble is that it is poorly digested: of meat - only 22%, of fish 10%, of vegetable - and even less. And iron is absorbed from the preparations 15-20 times more: in combination with the diet they give a good result - and anti-aging too!
3. Varicose veins
The maximum incidence falls precisely on this age. Legs are buzzing, numb, swelling, hurt, as if something is bursting from the inside, the shin is cramping at night. The inevitable consequence of problems with the veins is a heavy gait.
Solution: lose weight, wear pantyhose with a supporting effect, give up shoes on the hairpin, do not sit and do not stand for long. On the veins, walking is beneficial, during which the leg muscles actively work, helping to pump blood. While doing a wellness run, do not run on the asphalt: the shock load on the foot increases greatly, and the veins expand. Let your treadmill run along the grass or sand.
Food
To stay at the same weight, consume 1,800 kcal per day, and if you need to lose weight -1600. Count not only the energy value of foods, but also the fat content of food. Its amount in the diet should not exceed 40-50 g per day.
Sleep
Get enough sleep! The hormonal activity of the female reproductive glands is regulated by biorhythms of sleep and wakefulness: when the daily schedule is violated, the soil is created for gynecological diseases and the early onset of menopause.
Lifestyle
Do yoga and start with the right breath. Tadasana (the pose of the mountain). Stand straight, legs together. The palms are joined, the elbows are bent, the thumbs are in front of the collarbone.
<1> Inhale, raise your hands up. On exhalation, lean forward, slightly rounding your back.
<2> Breathe. Raise your head, looking in front of you. Pull out the spine and touch with the hands of the floor.
<3> On exhalation, round your back and lower your head. Inhale, spread arms or hand aside, lift them above a head, simultaneously lifting a trunk.
<4> On exhalation, return to the pose of the mountain. Repeat 4-6 times.
PROBLEMS AFTER 50-TI:
1. The onset of menopause
In modern women, this happens between the ages of 52 and 55, after which a hormonal decline begins, which triggers the wilting processes at the cellular level. Signs of endocrine deficiency - insomnia, depression, absent-mindedness, fatigue, weight gain, heart pain, sweating and tidal fever ... To iron out the menopausal symptoms of this age period, whose main problems do not give rest to thousands of women, replenish the hormone deficiency. Consult a gynecologist-endocrinologist. Perhaps he will find it necessary to prescribe hormone replacement therapy for you with estrogens - it allows you to delay the formation of age-related diseases and to slow down the wilting. Include in the diet products from soy and flaxseed. These plants are rich in phytoestrogens - plant analogues of female hormones.
2. Hypertension and swelling
The impetus to its development at this age is the increased hydrophilicity of the tissues. Appear edema under the eyes, puffiness of the face after sleep. Just like the skin, the walls of the arteries swell, hence the pressure jump! Fortunately, at this stage it is still possible to interrupt the development of hypertension.
Solution: observe a salt-free diet, do not exceed the daily intake of liquid (1.5-2 liters per day), and it is desirable to drink green or herbal tea with lime blossom, currant leaf, horsetail and other herbs that have a mild diuretic effect. This will help stabilize the pressure and relieve swelling of the face.
3. Insidious Osteoporosis
The body accumulates calcium in the bone tissue until the woman is 30 years old. After that, the valuable macronutrient begins to wash out of the bones, and the sooner the more sedentary a lifestyle you lead and the more often you sit on a diet. And with the onset of menopause calcium loss is avalanche-like. The chances of getting a serious break are greatly increased.
Solution: once a year, go through densitometry - ultrasound measurement of bone density. Based on its results, talk with your doctor about the need to take drugs against osteoporosis. Experts believe that after 50 years they are necessary for all women, but in an individual dose. Those who receive substitution therapy need 1000 mg of calcium per day, and those who do without it are 1500. To get 1000 mg, you need to eat 35 g of dried fish with bones, or 260 g of sardine, or 160 g of hard cheese, or 350 g - fused, or 80 grams of sesame, or 400 g of almonds, or 1 kg of sunflower seeds or cottage cheese, or 800 ml of yogurt.
Food
In those over 50, the production of estrogen first increases sharply, and then drops sharply. The body compensates for the hormone deficiency, as necessary, consuming the "gold reserve" of estrogens, which accumulate during life in the subcutaneous fat. That's why at this age it is not recommended to lose weight - it is wiser to stick to a stable weight.
No strict diets or fasting! You can only sit once a week on boiled rice with dried apricots or cottage cheese with raisins. Eat less, but more often - 4-6 times a day. Under such a regime, the amount of triglycerides, fatty acids entering the blood from the intestine, decreases, which means that fewer fat cells are formed.
Sleep
Get enough sleep at night, avoiding daytime drowsiness. However, this caution applies only to cases of unmotivated daytime sleep, when a woman is not overtired during the day and enough rest at night, but still subject to daytime sleepiness.
