Cool the Heat: Anti-Inflammatory Hydration
Hormonal shifts during menopause amplify inflammation and hot flashes. Hydration is your first, easiest lever:
- Sip, don't chug — steady fluids through the day support lymph flow.
- Add electrolytes (a pinch of sea salt + lemon) so water actually enters cells.
- Limit caffeine and alcohol before bed — both trigger heat and disrupt sleep.
- Cooling foods: cucumber, watermelon, celery, mint.
Not medical advice. For severe hot flashes or sleep disruption, talk to your provider about hormone and non-hormone options.
