Navigating this phase with grace and vitality requires proactive attention to one’s health and well-being. Here are some crucial health care tips tailored specifically for pre-menopausal women.

Prioritise Hormonal Balance: Hormones play a pivotal role in regulating various bodily functions, from mood to metabolism. During the pre-menopausal years, fluctuations in oestrogen and progesterone levels can lead to symptoms like irregular periods, mood swings, and changes in libido.

Prioritising hormonal balance through lifestyle choices such as maintaining a healthy weight, engaging in regular exercise, and managing stress can help alleviate these symptoms and promote overall well-being. (Image source: getty images)

Stay Active: Regular physical activity offers a multitude of benefits for pre-menopausal women, including improved mood, increased energy levels, and reduced risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and osteoporosis.

Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise per week, incorporating activities that you enjoy, whether it’s brisk walking, cycling, yoga, or dancing. Meditation and breathing exercises also help in managing stress related to your condition. (Image source: getty images)
