10 Ways To De-Stress & Relax

As you adjust to a lifestyle due to current events, juggling perimenopause have likely added to your stress levels. Stress can adversely impact your health. In fact, according to the Mayo Clinic1, there are numerous effects of stress. It can cause physical and emotional symptoms, including negative impacts on your behavior.

Stress-Related Physical Symptoms

Some of the physical symptoms related to stress can be: headaches, muscle tension or pain, fatigue, trouble sleeping, upset stomach, chest pains, decrease in sex drive, and more. These physical symptoms can have a domino effect that can lead right into mood changes as well as impact how you respond to daily life stressors. If you’ve got headaches, chest pains, a sore stomach due to stress, it can definitely put a damper in your mood. When you’re stressed out, instead of a restful night’s sleep, you might find yourself wide awake.

Stress-Related Mood & Behavioral Symptoms

Is something wrong? Someone might ask when you’re snappy or terse with them. You might not be in the mood for diplomacy, which can create a strain in professional and personal relationships. While we’re all allowed to have a bad day, changes in attitude can lead to chaotic results. Low mood or “feeling the blues” might accompany anxious, irritable, and angry feelings followed by restlessness, lack of motivation, and the inability to focus. According to Harvard Health Publishing2, stress can lead to unhealthy bad habits such as overdoing it with just about anything. Whether it’s overeating, oversleeping, binging on too much television, consuming too much alcohol, stress can impact the choices you make.

10 Stress-Reducing Tips

Stress produces a chemical called cortisol3 that can impact your immune, digestive, reproductive systems, and more. But there are ways to reduce cortisol levels associated with high stress and anxiety.

  1. Exercise: Staying mobile doesn’t merely help you with weight loss; it helps reduce stress hormones. Exercise also activates endorphins that act as natural pain killers in the body. It helps to promote confidence as well and improve quality of sleep.
  2. Reduce Caffeine: Caffeine can cause heart palpitations and is a central nervous system stimulant. Having too much caffeine can also cause jitters, exacerbate anxiety, heartburn, muscle twitches, and diuresis (excessive urination.) Plus, high caffeine intake can intensify perimenopause and menopause symptoms such as hot flashes, mood swings, and sleep difficulties.
  3. Meditate: Meditation can have a powerful impact on your ability to calm racing thoughts. Though it might not come easy at first to sit still and quiet the mind, it can also help you to focus on deep breathing. Deep breathing in conjunction with meditation can help lower heart rate, blood pressure, improve mood, and help regulate your body’s reaction to fatigue and stress.
  4. Positive Self-Talk: Practicing positive self-talk is a great practice to implement regardless if you’re looking to reduce stress or not. We’re often our own worst critiques, so it’s vital that you reduce the amount of negative chatter that goes on in your head. Be kind to yourself. Remind yourself of your victories and small wins instead of your failures.
  5. Leisure Activities: Say yes to leisure activities. Rediscover balance in your life and commit to scheduling activities that tend to relax you. Leisure activities can include going for a stroll around the neighborhood, reading a book, bubble baths, listening to soothing music, painting, and even cooking can be a way to relax.
  6. Journal: Writing down your feelings can be a great way to let your negative feelings out in a positive way. Keeping your emotions constrained can potentially make anxiety and stress worse. Journaling can also help you focused on goals and can inspire creativity.
  7. Stay Present: Practice mindfulness by staying present. Catch your mind wandering off to the past or future. When you’re mindful, you don’t miss out on the now. Getting lost in thoughts or not being present increases anxiety and stress. Enjoy today and allow the worries of tomorrow wait.
  8. Digital Detox: One way to stay present-minded and reduce stress is to do a digital detox. It’s hard to focus on a family movie, be present during dinner, or having a simple discussion with loved ones when you’re glued to your phone. Take a break from your smartphone, computers, and all electronics for a day or so.
  9. Talk To A Friend: Social isolation doesn’t mean you can’t call a friend. Contact positive, supportive friends who are willing to listen and help you de-stress. It’s essential to reach out to those that will encourage you and lift you up.
  10. Laugh: Turn that stress-frown upside down and laugh more. According to the Mayo Clinic4, laughter relieves stress, stimulates organs, soothes tension, and relieves pain. Laughing also improves not only your mood but your immune system and increases personal satisfaction.

∞ Every woman is unique and every woman experiences menopause and its symptoms differently. Every woman's experience with Amberen® will be unique as well. The statements we make regarding Amberen's menopausal and perimenopausal symptom relief benefits are supported by the results of ingredient manufacturer sponsored randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, human clinical trials. Amberen's products' clinical trials include three recent trials, two on Amberen Menopause dating from 2014-15 and 2015-16, and another on Amberen Perimenopause dating from 2019-2020. The Amberen® Menopause trials involved 102 and 125 menopausal women, respectively, aged 42-60 years, with mild to moderate menopausal symptoms, evaluating the efficacy of Amberen® Menopause in the treatment of climacteric complaints over the course of 90 days. Both of the studies' results showed that Amberen helped restore hormonal balance by supporting the endogenous production of estrogen and that when compared with placebo users experienced statistically significant relief from common menopausal symptoms, including, but not limited to, hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, mood swings (as measured by relief from “feeling unhappy and depressed”, “crying spells”, and “loss of interest in most things” symptomologies), weight management (as measured by changes in weight, BMI, and hip and waist circumference analyses), difficulty sleeping, stress and anxiety, difficulty concentrating, fatigue and low energy, headaches, muscle and joint aches and loss of sexual interest. Statistically significant results typically occurred between 30 through 90 days of continuous use. The Amberen® Perimenopause trial involved 105 perimenopausal women, aged 36-50 years, with mild to moderate perimenopausal symptoms, evaluating the efficacy of Amberen® Perimenopause in the treatment of perimenopausal symptom complaints over the course of 180 days (90 days of intervention/90 days of observation). The study's results showed that Amberen Perimenopause helped restore hormonal balance by supporting the endogenous production of estrogen and that when compared with placebo users experienced statistically significant relief from common perimenopausal symptoms, including, but not limited to, hot flashes, night sweats, irritability, mood swings (as measured by relief from “feeling unhappy and depressed”, “crying spells”, and “loss of interest in most things” symptomologies), difficulty sleeping, stress and anxiety, fatigue and low energy, headaches, muscle and joint aches and loss of sexual interest. Statistically significant results typically occurred between 30 through 90 days of continuous use. (Radzinskii, V. E., et al. Gynecological Endocrinology 32.sup2 (2016): 64-68. Radzinski V. et al., Menopause. Vol. 24, No. 12 (2017): 1456-1457. Kuznetsova et al., Obstetrics and Gynecology (2016) 5:126- 33).
