Alcohol and Menopause

Alcohol and Menopause

Statistics show that women over the age of 45 are the largest consumers of alcohol in Australia and I would assume that these stats are similar in other western countries. We live in a culture that tells us that alcohol is required to be social, to relax, to have fun, to be part of the group. But there is another side to alcohol consumption, particularly when it comes to women as they are moving through their menopause transition.

The changes in women’s bodies and their hormones means that there is less tolerance to the impacts of alcohol than there was in the younger years. Some of the common symptoms that are associated with alcohol consumption are:

  • Alcohol creates stress in your body and causes symptoms such as:
  • hot flushes and night sweats
  • joint and body pain
  • weight gain around tummy
  • sleep problems
  • low energy
  • foggy headedness
  • mood swings
  • depression and anxiety

Have a listen to the episode to get a better understanding of what happens to your body when you drink that glass of wine and why your body reacts the way that it does.
