Menopause varies from person to person. Some woman don't experience many symptoms, while other may have severe one. To get through this transitional stage, try to add soy to your nutritional plan, add vitamins and minerals to your daily diet, and a daily exercise will help.

The whole menopause transition is divided into four main stages. The PREMENOPAUSE, PERIMENOPAUSE, MENOPAUSE and POSTMENOPAUSE. This are the best time to take estrogen or progesterone hormones.

Some women's periods stop abruptly while others find that gradually. It's a prolonged transition that takes place over many years.

suggestions for easing the transition:

- Add soy to your nutritional plan.
- Eat green leafy vegetables and fruits.
- daily exercise
- Add vitamins and minerals to your daily diet.
