Is 45 to 55 years old a "critical period" for women? For the sake of health, it is recommended not to do these things

Ladies, do you feel something is wrong with your body recently? Your skin is no longer firm and elastic, your belly is bulging, and even your menstrual cycle has become irregular. Are these symptoms making you panic? Don't worry, these are all natural manifestations of women entering the "critical period" between the ages of 45 and 55. Yes, you heard it right, this stage is called the "golden" critical period for women. Although it is a bit annoying, it is also a good time to change your lifestyle and regain your health!

As a gynecologist, I feel it is necessary for me to tell you some precautions about the "critical period". You may want to take two minutes to read it!

First, I will teach you how to determine whether you have entered the critical period.

According to research, the age of 45 to 55 is considered a "critical period" for women because women at this stage may experience some physical and psychological changes. Here are some signs that may indicate that you have entered this critical period:

Physical changes:

You may start to notice changes in your skin, such as loss of elasticity and the appearance of wrinkles. Additionally, weight gain and changes in body shape may occur during this stage.

Mood changes:

Emotional problems such as mood swings, anxiety, and depression may become more pronounced in women between the ages of 45 and 55.

Cognitive changes:

Memory loss and distractibility may be some of the characteristics of this stage.

Health issues:

Women at this stage may experience more health problems, including cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis and breast nodules. If you are experiencing some of the above changes, it is likely that you have entered the "critical period" between the ages of 45 and 55. However, everyone's experience is unique, and if you have any questions or concerns about your health, the best thing to do is to consult a professional medical staff.

So, for women entering the critical period, it is recommended that you do not do these four things!

1. Stop blindly pursuing a slim body

I know that many female friends want to have a slim figure and lose weight at all costs.

However, after entering the critical period of 45 to 55 years old, the body's metabolism begins to slow down. Blindly pursuing a slim figure will only put a greater burden on the body. Moreover, excessive dieting and abuse of diet pills may also lead to malnutrition, endocrine disorders and other problems. Therefore, female friends, stop blindly pursuing a slim figure. Maintaining a healthy body is the most important thing.

2. Stop ignoring your body’s signals

Many female friends often ignore the body's signals in their busy lives. Sometimes they choose to endure some minor pains and discomforts. However, after entering the critical period of 45 to 55 years old, the body's immunity begins to decline, and some minor symptoms may be the precursor of major diseases.

Therefore, female friends, you must learn to listen to the voice of your body and promptly detect and deal with physical discomfort.

3. Stop overworking yourself

I know that modern women have to juggle multiple roles, taking care of the family and working hard for their careers, which is very stressful. However, overwork will only harm your health. After entering the critical period of 45 to 55 years old, the body's recovery ability begins to weaken. Overwork can easily lead to physical fatigue, decreased immunity and other problems.

Therefore, female friends, you must learn to arrange your time reasonably and leave yourself space to rest.

4. Stop Ignoring Your Mental Health

Many female friends often have negative emotions such as anxiety and depression when facing the process of physical aging. These emotions not only affect physical health, but also affect the quality of life. Therefore, female friends must pay attention to their mental health, learn to regulate emotions, and maintain a positive and optimistic attitude.

The ages of 45 to 55 are an important period in many people's lives, and healthy habits during this period are crucial for preventing disease and maintaining health.

Therefore, I would like to share with you some daily healthy habits. Female friends, you can pay more attention to them in your daily life!

Here are some healthy habits for this age group:

Balanced diet: Individuals in this age group should pay special attention to a balanced diet, including adequate protein, carbohydrates, fat, and various vitamins and minerals. It is recommended to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits and less greasy and high-sugar foods.

Moderate exercise: Moderate physical exercise can help maintain muscle strength and joint flexibility and reduce the risk of chronic diseases. Recommended forms of exercise include jogging, walking, Tai Chi, etc., at least 3 times a week, each time lasting more than 30 minutes.

Adequate sleep: Ensuring 7 hours of sleep every night helps the body repair and regenerate various systems, improve immunity and work efficiency.

Regular physical examinations: As you age, regular physical examinations become more important.

Physical examinations can help detect and treat potential health problems early, such as osteoporosis, cardiovascular disease, etc.

Mental health: Maintain a good attitude and learn to deal with stress and emotional changes. You can relax and reduce stress by listening to music, reading, traveling, etc.

Quit smoking and limit alcohol consumption: Both smoking and excessive drinking are harmful to health, especially cardiovascular health.

Quitting smoking and limiting alcohol consumption early can significantly reduce the risk of many diseases.

Stay hydrated: Make sure to drink enough water every day to maintain your body's water balance, which helps detoxify, promotes metabolism, and maintains health.

The implementation of the above healthy habits can help people aged 45 to 55 to better manage their health, prevent diseases, and improve their quality of life. 45 to 55 years old is the "golden" critical period for women. Although this stage is full of challenges and changes, it is also an important time for us to pay attention to our physical health and pursue a better life. As a doctor, I hope that every female friend can cherish her body, pay attention to her health, and live a happy and fulfilling life. Remember, health is the greatest wealth!
