We must drink water!
Posted , 8 users are following.
Hi to all us menopause sufferers! It's important to drink at least 2 big glasses of water each day or more. I feel like the Sahara Desert most days.
My mouth is soooo dry. Everything is drying up!
I read we lose sooo much moisture with menopause that we have to put water back in our body manually. I get tired of drinking water as it's so blah tasting. I bought Crystal Light Drink Mix which is just a small purse size bottle to keep handy. Just a wee squirt of flavour in our water bottles helps the intake of that water we need.

water is good, but if you have **water retention then this may interest you.
Some believe that since your body isn’t releasing enough water, the first thing that should be done is to increase the amount of water that you are drinking daily. Most people are going to tell you to reduce the amount of salt that you are taking, and this may help to a certain extent but there is something important you need to understand about salt and drinking water.Too much salt without enough water is going to cause problems with water retention.
Too much water without enough salt is going to cause another problem, a reduction in the vitamins and minerals that are contained inside of your body.
this site i got this info and something i remember from a few years ago through a discussion explains that * water retention during menopause is generally not due to some serious underlying condition but simply because the kidneys get tired of working so hard and, alas, fluid is retained.
****Contrary to popular medical advice that you should drink lots of fluids, a menopausal woman might want to cut back on her fluid intake and see if that helps eliminate some of her water weight gain.
However, if you notice that your hands, fingers, feet and ankles are swelling consistently, something other than simple water weight gain might be going on. If you press down on your skin and it remains dented afterward this may indicate edema and you should check with your physician.
In order for you to get rid of the water retention that you are experiencing and to kick your health level up a notch or two, you need to fully hydrate your body. The way that you do this is by drinking half of your body weight every day in ounces of water. You should also be taking a pinch of natural sea salt every time you drink a glass of water. If you do this every day, you will begin to notice a difference in the amount of water that you are retaining.

I chew gum when my mouth is sooo dry when I am out of the house. That helps to create saliva and moisture cause I can't carry water all the time.

we have one daughter with no sights of doing the marriage/children slave thing
She likes her freedom and starting college in the Fall so she wants a career instead. Children are a lot of work and worry anyways.

My daughter is 43,married 10 yrs ,and son 47 again no kids,so no grandchildren,daughter heading for the meno,starting to get her old mums symptoms,when no children you can hit meno 5 yrs early,so I was 48 ,she says great mum,bless her , tell her all I know,less scary ,less worry,take steps she can to going through it,what mums do.
Think more young ones want careers,who can blame them,get married later ,as my girl has done.Done what she wanted before settling down.
