Enjoy a healthy diet1

Include an abundance of fruit, veggies, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats in your diet. And take note of any triggers, such as spicy foods, that may make symptoms worse.

Set the mood for better quality sleep by avoiding screens two hours before you go to bed. Do relaxing activities before lights out.

Reduce caffeine and alcohol intake1

Doing so can improve your sleep and regulate your mood.

Quit smoking1

Studies show that smoking increases hot flashes.

Manage weight1

Weight loss can reduce hot flashes and night sweats and improve energy levels.

Talk to your doctor1

If your symptoms persist and are having a negative impact on your well-being, talk to your doctor.
