"Hot Flashes & Hydration: Sip, Sip, Hooray!" 💧🔥😆

Staying hydrated is crucial during menopause, as hormonal changes can lead to increased fluid loss, drier skin, and a higher risk of dehydration. Estrogen plays a role in water balance, so as levels decline, symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, and bloating can worsen with inadequate hydration. Drinking enough water helps regulate body temperature, support digestion, reduce bloating, and keep skin hydrated.

Water facts:

💃 The human body is approximately 2/3 water.

🧠 The human brain is approximately ¾ water.

🩸Our blood is about 85% water.

✨We lose about 2.5 to 3 litres of water daily via perspiration (hey, we don’t sweat we sparkle!), breathing and going to the loo.

Hydration Tips for Menopausal Women:

➡Don’t drink with meals. Drinking with meals dilutes your stomach acid and quite a few of us (including me) have under performing stomach acid. It’s a midlife thing.

💧 Aim for at least 8–10 glasses of water daily (more if experiencing hot flashes or night sweats).

🍓 Add fruit to make it more enjoyable. (then there's a snack at the end 😉)

🥒 Eat water-rich foods like cucumbers, watermelon, oranges, and leafy greens.

🍵 Opt for herbal teas (chamomile, peppermint) to support relaxation and hydration.

🥤 Limit caffeine & alcohol, which can contribute to dehydration.

💦 Electrolytes matter—add a pinch of sea salt or drink coconut water for balance.

Proper hydration can ease common menopause symptoms, improve energy levels, and support overall well-being. Would you like a hydration-focused meal plan or drink ideas? 😊
