Well, winter is slow to show its face this year but there are still plenty of coughs, colds and flu going around, and I often get asked if the menopause can make you more vulnerable to catching winter ailments. Today I discuss what effect the menopause has on your immune system, and what you can do to protect yourself against colds and flu.
As I discussed in my blog post on hayfever and the menopause, although the menopause itself doesn’t cause you to catch colds and flu, the changing levels of hormones in the peri-menopause and menopause put tremendous pressure on the body and this can manifest in lots of ways, including:
So, if your immune system is weakened in any of these ways, it will be much easier for bugs to get a hold and cause those horrid infections.
Yes, there is plenty you can do!
Looking after yourself well in the menopause is really important, so make sure that you have a good, varied diet with lots of plain water, plenty of rest and relaxation, and sensible amounts of exercise. All of these can help to keep your immune system strong and healthy.
Natural remedies can often be really helpful for preventing and treating colds, coughs and flu.
Probably the best known herb for fighting the symptoms of colds and flu is Echinacea, and many people use this all winter as a preventative too.
