Between the children, your home, the bills, your career and now menopause, you have enough to deal with. Outside of your regular stresses, you’ve got hot flashes, night sweats, irregular periods, weight gain, vaginal dryness and painful intercourse.
You have heard over and over again they need to care for themselves through eating healthy, exercising and getting enough sleep. While you feel like you are doing everything you can to get out of your slump, the answer may be simpler than you think.
Get hydrated; that’s it. Drinking water is necessary when going through the cycles of menopause. The next time you reach for the can of soda or coffee, halt yourself and instead grab some water. As if you needed to be reminded, here are some of the benefits you are sure to see.
Vaginal Dryness
Drinking more water is probably one of the most common health bits you always hear. It’s the answer to every health issue you’ve got, or at least it is according to popular news. The first benefit you’ll experience is increased moisture to your skin and improved vaginal health.
When you aren’t focusing on properly hydrating your body, you get dried out. One place this will be painfully apparent is your mucous membranes, emphasis on the painful because your vagina is likely to dry out, as well. You can reduce vaginal dryness by both drinking enough water and taking your Femininity each morning.
Other Drinks
Always be sure that you’re drinking more water than soda or alcohol. A heavy night of drinking can lead to the dreaded vaginal dryness. Be sure that as you enjoy a night of drinking, you stay hydrated. Not only will you prevent vaginal dryness, it will help you manage the other symptoms of a hangover.
Other Benefits
Eliminating vaginal dryness is not the only benefit you will receive from drinking more water. It will keep your skin looking young, help you burn fat, build muscle, boost your mood and increase brain power. This fountain of youth also regulates your body temperature, protects your important organs and tissue, and it helps you heal faster.
Drinking water can benefit your health in countless ways. Be sure you are drinking enough on a daily basis—calculate this by taking your weight, cutting it in half and drinking that many ounces. You are well on your way to all around health and wellness.
