You may be getting ready for your last-minute family vacation for the summer, or a trip without the kids. You have been planning for your vacation and you don’t want to ruin it because of menopausal symptoms.
Whether you are relaxing on a beach or backpacking through Europe, be sure to take the necessary items on a vacation so menopausal symptoms don’t affect you. Some menopausal symptoms that may affect you on vacation are vaginal dryness, hot flashes, and insomnia.
Daily Supplements
If you suffer from vaginal dryness, it is important to take daily supplements. These daily supplements are made from Omega-7 fatty acids to help eliminate vagina dryness. This way, you don’t have to worry about an uncomfortable, dry vagina during your vacation. An added bonus is the supplements will also help your hair, skin and nails grow.
Sleep Mask
Pack a sleep mask for your vacation as well. Vacation is a time for relaxation. A common symptom for women going through menopause is insomnia. If you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, use a sleeping mask. Another easy tip to sleeping better is set the thermostat a couple degrees lower. This can help combat insomnia and hot flashes.
Workout Clothes
You may not want to exercise while you are on vacation, but it is important to remember your workout clothes. If you exercise in the morning for 30 minutes, you will feel better for the rest of the day. By working out in the hotel gym or going on a walk, your body will release more endorphins. More endorphins means fewer hot flashes.
These are a couple of things to make your vacation more enjoyable. Don’t suffer from unnecessary menopausal symptoms while you are on your vacation. Enjoy the time and make memories while you are enjoying well-deserved time off spent with your family.
