Water
Dryness is an issue during menopause. One plausible reason for dryness is the reduction of the levels of estrogen. The recommendation is to drink eight to twelve glasses of water every day to help you cope with the menopause symptoms better. Hormonal changes can cause bloating, and drinking water reduces this particular symptom. In addition, water prevents weight gain and supports weight loss, as water increases metabolism and makes you feel full, preventing you from eating more. Based on trusted sources, you should drink 500ml (17 ounces) of water half an hour before you eat because this will help you reduce your calorie consumption by 13 percent.
Other people recommend drinking cold water and other cold drinks, mostly fruit juices, to make you feel cooler. Natural fruit juices contain antioxidants, which the body needs. Experts say that fresh water replaces the water you lose during night sweats and hot flashes and helps you keep your body temperature lower. Moreover, dehydration raises your body temperature, so sipping cold water can prevent your body from overheating and triggering menopause symptoms.
