Hello

There are some Yoga exercises useful in hot flushes.Many women find that yoga can ease menopausal symptoms. Because yoga has been shown to balance the endocrine system, some experts believe it may affect hormone-related problems.Exercise helps ease hot flushes by lowering the amount of circulating FSH and LH and by raising endorphin levels (which drop while you're having a hot flush). Even exercising 20 minutes three times a week can significantly reduce hot flushes

Soya is popular among menopausal women — it contains powerful phyto-oestrogens, natural substances that mimic the effects of oestrogen. Many find that soya milk, soya-based foods such as tofu, and other foods with oestrogen-like properties such as pulses (chickpeas, beans, etc), beansprouts, yams, most fruit and vegetables — can help to alleviate hot flushes.
