- In the short term, more than 50% of women experience hot flashes. We have to learn to live together because crises, night sweats with insomnia, states of sadness and depression, anxiety, fluid retention and libido problems can last for 5 years.

Sudden changes in temperature affect, or dress very warmly, alcohol, hot or spicy foods should also be avoided, and of course tobacco is prohibited.
A healthy lifestyle helps alleviate these hot flashes, sports, a Mediterranean diet rich in olive or coconut oil, a diet rich in fruits, seeds, nuts, and vegetables with many antioxidants. Drinking plenty of water is also important.
The lifestyle we have will determine what the long-term consequences will be like.
On an emotional level, it is very important not to isolate yourself, communicate with people, be distracted, work and share experiences on the weekends, lead an active life both physically and mentally.
