Simple Summer Tips to Stop Hot Flashes
It can be hard to stop hot flashes, especially in warm environments. Some may wait to feel a hot flash coming on before trying to minimize the effects. Physicians at Weight Success Centers, however, say prevention is a smarter approach. Try these simple tips for keeping cool and balancing hormones.
Easy Actions to Prevent Overheating
As always, physicians emphasize the importance of maintaining a healthy weight, managing health conditions, balancing hormones, and reducing stress to help stop hot flashes. Women, however, may also want to take action to prevent overheating.
-First, dress in lightweight fabrics and loose clothing. Cotton or quick-to-dry materials are the best, while the worst are tight denims, nylon, silk, or leather clothing. Expert tips for breathable sleepwear and moisture-wicking sheets are also simple actions to prevent night sweats.
-Prevent overheating by avoiding hot liquids, spicy foods, caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol. These can increase blood flow and raise your body temperature. Keep your cool by opting for a cold glass of ice water and chilled foods as opposed to hot plates.
-Reduce sweating by seeking shade outdoors and cranking up the A/C whenever indoors. Also, consider keeping a small fan in your pocket or handbag to use when needed to prevent overheating.
-Finally, stop hot flashes as quickly as possible by reversing the heat. For example, try lowering your body temperature by putting your wrists under cold-running water. Of course, ice-packs or a full shower in cool water could also lower body temperature.
Bioidentical Hormone Therapy for Balance
At Weight Success Centers, our physicians provide full evaluations with individualized recommendations for overall health. Solutions include an array of medical services, nutritional programs, treatments, and therapies like BioTE, a natural pellet form of Bioidentical Hormone Therapy.
As a certified provider of BioTE, we can administer subcutaneous pellets that are identical to the hormones produced by the human body. This hormone therapy helps men and women balance hormones without synthetic hormone replacements. As pure hormones, the pellets fully dissolve and do not produce any byproducts. Best of all, pellets only need administered every 3 to 5 months depending on the person’s needs to maintain balance, stop hot flashes, and relieve other symptoms.
As with any supplement, therapy, or medical treatment, the results and benefits will vary depending on each individual person. The physicians at Weight Success Centers are prepared to provide more information about these and other solutions.
