Ladies, you are not alone! Hot flashes are a common part of menopause β affecting up to 80% of women. These can be uncomfortable and disruptive, but there are ways to make them temporary and manageable with the right strategies:
β Dress in layers to cool off quickly
β Identify triggers (spicy food, caffeine, alcohol, late nights, etc.)
β Keep a fan or cold water at home and on the go
β Turn down the thermostat + wear light pajamas to stay cool
β Avoid smoking + aim for a healthy weight
β Try calming techniques (breathing exercises or meditation)
