Hello,

Yes, it is true that menopause affects weight loss. During and after menopause, the number of calories burnt during rest declines. Although, it is possible to lose weight by following a correct lifestyle and diet. Weight gain results due to a sedentary lifestyle, lack of physical activities, and high fatty diet. For reducing the weight, it is necessary to remove the excess fats from the body, and along with this following a natural lifestyle and correct eating habits is also important. 

Diet 

  • Start the day with a glass of warm water with a few drops of lemon juice in it. This will help to improve the metabolism and also to flush the toxins out of the body. 
  • Drink green tea twice a day, one in the morning on an empty stomach and the other at night before sleeping. 
  • Soak the cumin seeds in a glass of water overnight. In the morning, boil the water and add a slice of ginger to it. Strain the water and drink it. This water will be beneficial for reducing fat.
  • Always eat only plant-based natural foods. 
  • Drink freshly prepared homemade fruit juices with fibers. 
  • Have sprouts, nuts, and beans. 
  • Eat fresh, seasonal, and locally available fruits and vegetables. 

Exercise 

Daily exercising and yoga are also important to improve the metabolism and also to improve blood circulation. 

  • Start the day with a short morning walk or jogging for at least 30min. 
  • Do 12 sets of suryanamaskar daily. 
  • Practice pranayam regularly, like bhastrika, kapalbhati and anulom-vilom pranayam. 
  • Take sunrays early in the morning regularly for 15-20min. 

Sleep

Sleeping patterns and quality of sleep also matter. Sometimes lack of sleep may also result in weight gain. So, take proper sleep of at least 7-8 hours daily. Sleep early at night at around 10 pm and also wake up early in the morning at around 6 am. 

Thank you

Dear Masuma,

We do understand that being overweight is a cause of concern. Yes, owing to hormonal changes that accompany menopause women tend to gain weight and/or find it difficult to lose weight. Therefore, working towards maintaining your hormonal balance will help you achieve your weight loss goals. 

Nature Cure believes that the root cause of most diseases/health conditions is Toxaemia- the accumulation of toxins within the body.  While some toxins are an output of metabolism, others are added due to unnatural lifestyle- wrong food habits, lack of rest, and stress. Typically in a wrong lifestyle, we tend to carry excess weight in the form of toxins and excess fat that the body was not able to process. Adopting a natural lifestyle will help you cleanse your body from within and weight loss comes as a pleasant side-effect of this process.

Should you need help in doing so you could register yourself for Wellcure's Weight Loss program and get a personal consultation from our Natural Health Care coach. This is a month-long program designed to help you lose weight holistically. People who have used the same have not only lost weight successfully, they have felt and overall improved quality of life as well.
