There are a number of natural alternatives for relief. Women can naturally and safely balance their bodies and their feeling of well being by utilizing natural progesterone (from Wild Yam and/or Soy) and compounds that occur naturally in plants and herbs. Now more than ever women can face Menopause with confidence.
Plant Compounds
Plant Compounds containing Diosgenin, found in our potent formulations, can help support the bodys natural functions. They may help to alleviate many of the symptoms associated with Menopause and PMS. When an imbalance occurs, women can experience a variety of unwanted symptoms. To compensate for this imbalance, supplementation can be very beneficial.
Lifestyle
Diet, exercise and attitude are all part of the equation in the quest for balance. Eating a diet of whole foods (organic preferably) that are cooked and consumed in a peaceful environment can have a profound effect on a menopausal womans health and therefore her experience. Certain cultures with diets rich in soy exhibit few if any symptoms related to PMS and Menopause.
The role of diet is an extremely important factor on the road
to balance.
Exercise has been proven to be one of the most effective ways to help alleviate many menopausal symptoms. With age, exercise becomes increasingly important. A simple daily walk can do wonders. Exercise strengthens bones, relieves stress and induces deeper sleep.
PMS
PMS, like Menopause, is caused by a progesterone and
estrogen imbalance. The symptoms associated with PMS may vary from Menopausal symptoms, but relief can be
realized by utilizing some of the same natural alternatives.
At Last there are choices. At Last Naturals was one of the first companies to research and develop natural alternatives for
managing menopause and PMS. Our line of products developed by women, for women, is based on the philosophy that Joy in life is a question of balance. To achieve balance, there are a number of choices that may be perfect for your individual needs.
