Hey Here are a few cooking methods that you can follow 1) steaming : steaming vegetables can retain nutrients including essential vitamins and minerals which include iron and vitamin B12 2) stir fry: quick stir fry at high flame can help retain nutrients 3) boiling: boiling for a short period of time in a small amount of water can help retain nutrients and help in less loss of water soluble vitamins 4) blanching : blanching vegetables can help retain the nutrients and makes them easy to digest 5) eat some vegetables raw or for the vegetable that require minimal cooking, cook lightly to retain the nutrients Hope it helps 😄

What supplements are recommended for menopause?
You would generally need calcium and vitamin d supplements once you hit your 40s. As you grow older your calcium absorption decreases and it is very important to maintain certain calcium levels for your bone and muscle strength. Vitamin d is needed for better absorption of calcium as well as for good mood regulation. Apart from that most other supplements get prescribed based on deficiency.
Menopause means stopping of female hormones, especially Estrogen. Because it is necessary for your vagina as well as your overall health, you can take so many natural Medicines instead of taking just supplements. You may face vaginal dryness, mood swings/ emotional ups and downs and osteoporosis. Also hot flushes irritates most. Just supplements are not sufficient if these symptoms are irritating you. Then Take proper consultation with your doctor. Natural medicines are more useful in my opinion.

Hey there. Hope you are doing well. If you are suffering from constant vaginal dryness, then you should certainly see a doctor!
Hello Dear. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. Does it always happen or only during a particular time period of your cycle? How is your periods? You can use lubricants available and drink lots of water. Any itching or irritation?

Is it healthy to take out some time everyday away from my husband?? Will it affect our relationship or strengthen it?
it is completely normal and healthy to want some time to yourself even when you're married. needing personal space does not mean that there is something wrong with your marriage. it just shows that you value your independence and like taking care of your well-being. taking time for your self helps you align your personal needs. manage stress, make goals for yourself and accomplish them.

preventing vaginal dryness?
Hello Dear. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. You can increase your foreplay that would help you get aroused and increase the wetness in vagina. Or you can try lubricants which are available but if you are trying for a child, I wouldn't suggest lubricants as it kills the sperms. If not, try lubricants or even saliva would work. Hope that answers. Do join my live, i tend to speak on many sexual wellness topics.

How long does it take to forget a guy? Ugh, it's been ages since we broke up, but I still can't get him out of my head. How long does it usually take to forget about a guy and move on?
Hello Dear. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. I have seen many young people having difficulty moving on from past relationships. Let me give you an analogy on how this works. Imagine a black ball inside of you, that's the pain you felt during break up. It doesn't go away. It stays but the beauty is it becomes smaller and smaller as you experience the even more beautiful things in life. And one day you won't even know that it exists because it's too small to notice. that's how trauma works. Hope I helped you and join my live to have a conversation with me.

How long does it take for a man to realize what he lost in his ex is something that he will not find anywhere, in any other women?
Hi Beautiful. Okay. I'm a Consultant Psychologist and Sexual Health Expert. I have seen many couple's and I can see that, you really love your ex. You are a beautiful women and ofcourse he would miss to be with an amazing human. But this is something you seem to not realise, if you did, you wouldn't put yourself in such misery of waiting for him. I know it's difficult, but start by thinking that you would only allow respect, trust and love. Anything less isn't for you. I would want to talk more on this, come on a call with me on my live session. - Consultant Psychologist

What do you want him to "find" in other women? Please share. It can take a day or even months. Life goes on, people will find new people who suit their interests. Most are normally like others and it's heartbreaking to lose what you loved and cared that you obsess over other person taking those things. Relax, it will take time to get over it.

Are there any dietary supplements you recommend to support my menstrual health based on my individual needs?
Hey there! 🌸 Looking to boost your menstrual health? Consider adding these essentials to your routine: Iron for replenishing lost blood, Vitamin B6 to ease those pesky PMS symptoms, Magnesium for calming those cramps, Omega-3 fatty acids to soothe inflammation, and don't forget Calcium for bone health and mood stability. Your body will thank you for the extra support!
hina12d
There is no restriction for your diet during your menstrual cycle. Nor are there any foods that you necessarily should eat, except for foods high in iron. Because of the blood loss, there is also some iron loss w/menstruation. Therefore, foods high in iron content can help replace the iron stores that women need. These foods can include dark chocolate in small amounts, molasses, and then green leafy veggies such as spinach, beef, turkey, etc. You can google for a more comprehensive list. Otherwise, no special diet is required.

Ayurveda for women community profile picture
🗓 Menstrual Health

At its core, the connection between Ayurveda and Women health is rooted in the balance and harmony of the female body. The ancient Indian practice of Ayurveda recognizes that each woman has unique needs, and through mindful practices such as yoga, diet and lifestyle, it seeks to empower women to embrace their natural cycles.Ayurveda works to achieve balance by addressing the three doshas, or subtle energies that govern our bodies. These doshas are known as vata, pitta and kapha. Each dosha is associated with the elements of wind, fire, and water respectively and serve to regulate the physical body and the mind. When our doshas are in balance, we are healthy, vibrant and radiating peace.At a deeper level, Ayurveda looks at the physiological changes that happen in the body during our menstrual cycle. On a vata dosha day, for example, a woman may experience feelings of restlessness or anxiety. On a pitta day, she may have an increased appetite or feel irritable. And on a kapha day, she may be proneto fatigue or have difficulty concentrating. By acknowledging these nuances and adjusting her diet and lifestyle accordingly, a woman can learn to identify which foods will best nourish and restore her balance during the different phases of her cycle. Ayurveda Priests or holistic health practitioners are also available to guide women in developing a meaningful relationship with their menstrual cycle. Through such practices as yoga, meditation, massage, and breathwork, these professionals help women understand not only their body’s response to their monthly fluctuations, but also how to intuitively respond to them. Ultimately, Ayurveda provides a safe, holistic space for women to honour and celebrate their cycle as an important part of their emotional and physical wellbeing. By becoming more mindful and aware of the subtle changes that occur each month from one dosha to another, women are able to learn how to better nourish and care for their bodies .more
