There menopause and its inconveniences spare no woman on Earth. It is precisely to lift taboos and show women that they are not alone that the actress Jane Seymour spoke to our American colleagues from Hello. She takes advantage of World Menopause Day, October 18, 2023, to remind people that it is possible to experience this change well and that there are solutions to manage restrictive symptoms.
We recall that menopause marks the definitive end of the rules and therefore menstrual cycles due to the cessation of estrogen secretion. This estrogen deficiency will involve a certain number of symptoms such as hot flashes, night sweats, joint pain, sleep disorders, depressive states, vaginal dryness or even weight gain.
If you are affected by these symptoms, do not hesitate to consult. They are not inevitable. And this is what Jane Seymour confirmed through her interview. She also talks about her diet, her sleep and her habits to stay in shape and in shape. Above all, she adds how particularly fulfilled she is at 72 years old. The actress and producer even speaks of “ extraordinary freedom “.
“Sex gets painful but there are ways to deal with it”
Jane Seymour evokes without taboo the impact that her menopause had on her sexuality. “ Sex gets painful, but you just have to find ways to deal with it “. The star was able to be treated and added that “ this was a game changer “.
“There are medications that can help. You will find a way that works for you and your partner in any way and there are many different ways to experience pleasure in life and be a complete woman “.
There vaginal dryness affects one in two women at menopause. We are actually talking about vaginal atrophy. The further we go through menopause, the more the genital tract will show signs of estrogen deficiency. We are talking about SGUM or genitourinary syndrome of menopause which combines vulvovaginal dryness, difficulty lubricating, urinary problems.
“ My doctor, Dr. Sherry Ross, said that at any age, for a woman, estrogen is her superpower. And if you consider estrogen as your superpower, then you will see everything differently », continues the actress.
“I generally give my body a minimum of 16 hours of fasting to recover”
And because good hygiene is the best way to take care of yourself over the years, Jane Seymour does not ignore her sleep nor on his food.
The star claims to sleep eight hours a night, to be a fan of the Mediterranean diet and intermittent fasting. “ I practice intermittent fasting unless I have to work on a movie very early in the morning and feel like I need some extra energy. I generally allow my body a minimum of 16 hours of fasting to recover. I think it works wonderfully. I’ve seen it work for me, but I’m not obsessive about it. If I go out for a nice dinner, I skip fasting for an evening “.
THE intermittent fasting simply consists of give breaks without food to your organization. The 16/8 form is the most common: you have 8 hours per day to eat and 16 hours to fast. This mode of eating is known to regenerate cells and the digestive system, improve sleep and regulate blood sugar and weight.
“I’m so happy to be alive”
By taking care of your body, Jane Seymour shows how happy she is – perhaps even more so today. “ I’m so happy to be alive and I feel grateful, I feel grateful that I’m safe and pretty healthy. I feel grateful for having great relationships with my children, my family, my close friends and even my classmates “.
She also reminds us how getting older has many positive aspects, including being more free. “ All the kids have left the house now, it’s my time for me and there’s no point talking about next year because I’m really living in the moment “.
