Not a problem.<\/span><br \/>A stressful week? It will pass.<br \/>Less movement? I will make up for it next week.<br \/>Cake or a pastry every day? Why not.<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After all, that is how we live for years. And most of the time it seems the body takes it all.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until one day you start to notice that the body no longer takes the overload. The body asks for a different kind of attention.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Menopause does not begin on the day your periods stop<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We often think of menopause as one particular moment.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But a woman\u2019s hormonal changes begin much earlier \u2013 7 to 10 years before menopause. During perimenopause hormone levels can fluctuate, and along with them your sleep, mood, energy, menstrual cycle and body weight can change too.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means you may start to feel the changes at a time when it still seems that:<\/span><\/p><p><b>\u201cMenopause is still a long way off for me.\u201d<\/b><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After 40 the body has less room for carelessness<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This does not mean we have to become perfect. I really do not think that after 40 you have to give up life\u2019s usual pleasures, never have a glass of wine, stop eating sweets or live by a strict schedule.<\/span><\/p><p><b>The more the body has to withstand, the more important its ability to recover becomes.<\/b><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hair. Weight. Sleep.

Body weight can change too. That is influenced not only by hormones but also by natural ageing, muscle mass, activity, sleep and diet.<\/span><\/p><h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We wait too long<\/span><\/h2><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We wait until our hair starts falling out so much that we can no longer ignore it.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We wait until weight becomes a problem and losing 5 kg is even harder than maintaining the weight we have today.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We wait until test results make us stop and think.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Health should not begin with solving a problem; we should look after our health in order to avoid health problems.<\/span><\/p><p><b>We can start earlier.<\/b><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not with a strict diet.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not with a promise to change your whole life from Monday.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But with the basics.<\/span><\/p><p><b>This is not about a perfect life.
