Middle aged women between 35 - 70 who are in peri-menopause, menopause or post-menopause can benefit from this product.
Symptoms: anxiety, changes in mood, changes in skin, sleep issues, hot flash, night sweat, vaginal dryness, urinary urgency
Ashwagandha is an ayurvedic herb commonly used to reduced stress and relieve anxiety, with research also confirming its ability to treat menopausal vasomotor symptoms.
The hormonal alterations that occur during menopause make you more susceptible to weight and fat gain around the abdomen.
The hormonal alterations, particularly significant reductions in circulating estrogen, alter metabolism and reduce muscle mass both of which can result in you burning less calories each day. Metabolic rate actually declines by around 3% per decade in both men and women, this is just a normal part of aging unfortunately. A number of other factors may increase susceptibility to gain weight, from lack of sleep, to emotional eating and more.
Menopause research has demonstrated that metabolic rate is reduced by 100 kcal per day, while energy expenditure through physical activity is also reduced in women going through menopause by around 130 kcal per day. Together this means menopause may reduce energy expenditure by 230 kcal per day. If no change is made to the diet those 230 kcal are going to contribute to a daily positive energy balance and therefore stored in the body. The same research also showed that menopausal women gained around 5.5 lbs or 2.5 kg during the study period, while also losing 6.6 lbs or 3 kg of lean muscle mass.
Changing metabolism, loss of muscle and reduced rates of fat burning are all believed to contribute to fat accumulation around the abdomen. Abdominal fat is a known risk factor for diabetes and cardiovascular disease, both of which are common in post-menopausal women unfortunately.
Three simple, scientifically proven methods of addressing your menopause weight gain include:
1. Activity: commit to being more active in your daily life. Be mindful that your body’s normal energy expenditure has dropped by roughly 230 kcal, so becoming more active, walking, taking the stairs and even following a structured exercise program will help you. Exercise is also the absolute best way to help maintain lean muscle mass that will not only help you burn more calories, but also develop that lean toned physique. Furthermore, exercise is the best way to reduce diabetes risk.
2. Diet: weight gain is caused by a long-term positive energy balance, so to address this you will need to modify the quantity of calories that you are consuming, this can be achieved by simply prioritizing unprocessed, whole foods, and both high protein and high fiber foods with low energy density, drinking water and low calorie drinks rather than sugar laden soft drinks. Incorporating phytoestrogen rich foods such as soy, flaxseeds and maca might also benefit by reducing menopausal symptoms.
3. Lifestyle: improving sleep, making time to rest and relax, spending time with family and friends, finding new hobbies that you enjoy are all valuable during the menopausal transition.
We have incorporated high quality proteins, fiber rich fruits and vegetables, and phytoestrogens within our natural juices in an effort to offset the most common menopausal symptoms. Protein will help increase metabolic rate, meaning you burn more calories and less likely to gain weight and body fat, it will also help you maintain muscle tone and help strengthen muscle and bone. The protein can also help reduce cravings and fluctuations in energy and mood that are often associated with the menopause. Fibre from fresh fruits and vegetables can also help to stabilise energy and mood, preventing the large rise and fall in blood sugar that can negatively impact emotions. Phytoestrogen rich soy, flax and maca can also help to reduce menopausal symptoms such as hot flashes.
All of the ingredients within our juices are natural and bioavailable to the body.
The ingredients included are backed by science, with years of research to support their inclusion:
