Understanding Perimenopause and Its Impacts
Perimenopause refers to the transitional phase where women experience hormonal shifts, typically beginning in their late thirties and continuing through the forties and into the fifties. Throughout this period, women may face a decline in various bodily functions, including muscle mass and cognitive abilities, which can deteriorate significantly without proactive lifestyle changes. This decline is often coupled with worsening symptoms as women age and nutritional habits shift towards a higher intake of ultra-processed foods. Research indicates that reducing the consumption of such foods can greatly alleviate perimenopausal symptoms and improve overall life expectancy.
