Hi everyone,

I want to share a few more words on how Vicki’s Flash Pops can help with those troubled days of PMS.  Why, because the menopause formula in this delicious beverage has Vitex, or chasteberry, that helps to stabilize hormones. This herb has been used in Europe for over 2500 years, and it is the most popular herb to help with PMS.

What foods will help during PMS?

·        Eat small amounts of dark chocolate rather than candy bars or milk chocolate which are fattening

·        Reduce the number of candy bars during PMS (gradually)

·        Substitute a healthier sweet, such as fruit, frozen yogurt, - eliminate chocolate

·        When craving sweets- wait 15-20 minutes to see if it passes. If it doesn’t pass see how long you can wait it out.  If you really can’t wait have a small piece of dark chocolate

Remember that diet and exercise are important components in controlling the severity of PMS symptoms.  It is best to eat a diet rich in complex carbohydrates (whole grains, vegetables, fruit) and to avoid sugar, salt, alcohol and caffeine before and during your period.

A regular exercise routine may help ease symptoms too

Keep in mind what Deborah Smith said after only 2 weeks of Vicki’s Flash pops:

“ My period snuck up on me” She was expecting for her symptoms to continue for at least 2 months.

She coulds always tell it was approaching because of cramping, headaches, etc.

Yes,there is an end to menopause, but it can last 3-4 years or longer than 10 years.  It depends on many factors, some you have no control over.  Family history, health situation are examples of what you cannot change, however, so much of the length of menopause is determined by what you choose to do.  You can’t control your heredity,or your family history. Prolonged menopause can be caused by an existing health problem too.

One of the most important factors in determining how long your menopause will last is your lifestyle.  And the good news is you can control that. 

It is up to you what you do and do not do. Avoiding Hot Flash triggers such as coffee, necotine and sugar and combinging exercise or activity wil not only make your menopause smoother but also shorten your menopausal years.

So bottom line: start readjusting your habits to a healthy lifestyle NOW and you will menimize your years in menopause.

Hi Ladies, 

Many of you have asked me "what is Perimenopause".  It is the time that we prefer not to pay attention  to, however, it is the time leading up to menopause, when we don’t have our periods any longer.  During this time you will probably have many warning signs and symptoms.  That is why it is best to get prepared now for what is an absolutely natural function of our bodies.

Every woman goes through it in some form or another.  They say our body starts making less of certain hormones (estrogen and progesterone) but be careful: you can still become pregnant during this time.  Take PRECAUTIONS remember, it takes 12 months without interruption before we completely loose the ability to become pregnant.  If you start your period, even alight bleeding, you need to start counting again.  Personally, I probably had many symptoms, but my periods was always so irregular, that my grumpiness, irritability was usually put off by words such as “she’s probably on her period” or "she is just about ready to start her period." Not until recently did I realize that I was in perimenopause and if I had taken the advise of what I know suggest I too would have slid through menopause “NO SWEAT” Well since I didn’t eat and exercise regularly, my hot flashes and other symptoms were probably worse than they should have been.  However, do start now, get ready and when it is time, you won’t need to make any changes in your lifestyle.

Next week… Perimenopause.. How long does it last?

Happy New Year

The Holidays are over but have you discovered an unwanted weight gain? And did your Hot Flashes return with a vengeance? Well let me give you few tips to help you get back on track.

First, get back to a regular routine.  Easy to say, but that is essential. I gained just a little weight because when I wasn’t at a party or at family festivities I ate what I normally did which was lots of good protein and vegetables.  Cut back on red meat and fruit (because of its natural sugar) .

Fish, poultry and vegetables should be your new best friend.

Breads and carbs are a thing of the past.  My husband and I walk down the bread and chip aisle for "Old Time Sake"

Are you on the go? Eat LIGHT Cheese Sticks( only 2.5 gr of fat ). I always have 2 in my purse.  It helps when I’m hungry and won’t be home to eat for a while.  There is less tendency to eat junk foods if I have a cheese stick instead. Always have water with you! 

Also,

• Drink Decaf coffee ( reg coffee stimulates the appetite)
• Wine- just have a glass a week
• NO Junk Food, spicy or greasy foods too
• Water- Lots of water
• Stevia- No sugar-  I always take packets in my purse
• And of course NO Smoking

Exercise- Back to a routine-  If you hate exercise gyms- try an exercise tape or just a morning or evening walk_ Stay active

 Most important of all- When you go off your regular eating habits (that maintain an acceptable weight)- start a healthy eating routing the next day- Don’t get in the habit of saying- "I will do it tomorrow" It rarely works.

That’s all for now- Let me know how you are doing,

Happy New Year,

Blessings,

Vicki
