One way for women to stay young is to preserve the diminishing or even disappearing estrogen, but it is not better to stop menstruating as late as possible. Chinese medicine and Taoism advocate nature, and the author believes that it is better to let nature take its course. Estrogen gives a woman her secondary sexual characteristics, such as fullness of the breasts and regular menstruation. Estrogen also keeps a certain level of moisture in the skin, making the skin look soft and delicate. The so-called menopause is when the production of estrogen gradually decreases to its lowest level at the termination of menstruation, which is around the age of 50, when a woman completely loses her reproductive function. In fact, from the age of 45, women enter pre-menopause (also known as perimenopause), the ovarian function gradually declines, estrogen secretion decreases, the water content of the skin also decreases, wrinkles slowly appear, and the skin loses its previous luster and elasticity. Before the age of 50, women are less likely to suffer from cardiovascular diseases compared to men because the presence of estrogen maintains the softness of blood vessels and their blood vessels are less likely to harden, but after estrogen disappears, women’s chances of suffering from such diseases increase. Another most common change around the onset of menopause is a burst of hot flushes on the face, emotional excitement and inability to control them, all of which are due to the decrease in estrogen secretion by the ovaries. At this time, estrogen supplementation is a top priority. Artificial estrogen supplementation may induce some cancers. For example, breast cancer and endometrial cancer, etc. 1. Take royal jelly Among bees, the bee that grows up eating royal jelly is the queen bee, which lays eggs throughout its life, and with such a huge consumption, its life expectancy is tens of times that of the average bee. It is now found that because the queen bee eats royal jelly secreted from the palate gland of worker bees. Women entering pre-menopause can take about 10 grams of royal jelly a day to replenish estrogen. 2.Guarantee a cup of thick soy milk every day Experts suggest that women should pay special attention to soy food supplementation from a young age, and after entering the age of 30, they should guarantee a cup of thick soy milk or a piece of tofu every day, because the supplementation of soy on estrogen cannot be reflected immediately, so the supplementation of soy should start early. 3. Homemade drinks for estrogen supplementation When premenopausal symptoms, such as mild flushing, have gradually appeared, relying on soy alone is ineffective. During this period, decocting water with angelica, about 10 grams per day, and drinking it as tea, can significantly change the symptoms brought about by estrogen reduction. Angelica has always been the “holy” medicine in Chinese medicine to treat various gynecological diseases. Another tea made with hawthorn, jujube, rosebuds and ginger, which you can start drinking when you enter your 40s as a daily tea, will naturally replenish the diminishing estrogen in a gradual manner. 4, white fungus is a good skin moisturizer When people get older, their skin will produce wrinkles and lose the luster of their youth. Why? There are many reasons, one of which is the loss of elasticity of the gel under the skin. Plastic surgeons use gummy foreign objects to implant under the skin to smooth out wrinkles, which is certainly a good solution, but using food to prolong the life of the subcutaneous gum or increase the subcutaneous gum is a better solution. White fungus is one food that has this effect. White fungus is rich in natural plant-based gum, and with its nourishing effect, it is a good moisturizer for long term use. It is also inexpensive and can be cooked in a variety of ways, making it suitable for long-term use. White fungus can generally be stewed with rock sugar or honey to eat, or add red dates, barley, yam soup to drink. 5, a pot of soup every month: many women eat very little in order to lose weight and keep fit, but the nutrition of the period is essential, it is recommended that the special period of each month with beef, lamb, fish or chicken stew a pot of soup, soup with angelica, ginseng, astragalus, Huai Shan, barley, jujube, lotus rice, etc. to enhance nutrition, nourish the skin and remove spots.
