Reverse early menopause, slow down menopause

Those with menopause or early menopause, if you want to reverse or slow down the process, it's absolutely possible! Lot of "Avi Ladies" managed to do so.

Please, along the exercises take your entire lifestyle under radar. Diet is pivotal!

1.GRAINS - The types cultivated today are easier to process than digest. They suppress 7-12 different hormones that play important role in aging. Avoid pastas, pizzas, bread and go for rice, rice based pasta, corn, gluten free bread. Delicious gluten free recipes you can find here: Alkalizing Thai Curry , Alkalizing Aphrodiziac, Poha -and more to come.

2. ALCOHOL- according to the studies of Dr Hertogh even 1 glass of alcohol/day decreases your HGH (Human Growth Hormone, one of the most important hormone in aging) with 70-75%. He says we need to stay away from it at least 5 days a week, if 2 days off he closes his eyes above...

3. SWEETS - we talked a lot about sugar from other point of view, it also impairs the secretion of those hormones that keep us young, so as reproductive hormones!!!

4. which FOOD can INCREASE REPRODUCTIVE HORMONE levels -part I. - focus on progesterone: see former article

5. Lower FSH: eat more Chickpeas, Cinnamon and Salmon.

SLOW DOWN AGING -I. Ladies, Increase Progesterone

Progesterone helps preventing breast cysts, ovarian cysts, and uteral fibroids.

The better a woman ovulates the more progesterone she produces.

 

TWO NATURAL WAYS to STIMULATE PROGESTERONE

 1. Aviva Progesterone or Ovulation Stimulating Exercises:
These exercises are so different from any other sort of exercises I ever tried! They really focus on the area of the ovaries, Fallopian tubes, you feel how they are twisting and stretching or folding into two.
As a trainer I'm very impressed by their affect!


In my Endo-Gym groups currently 4 of the girls are pregnant. Medically all 4 of them had slight or even 0 chance foreseen to conceive. The surprising thing is, that 2 of the pregnant girls conceived just right after these exercises. As we tested several times, generally about two-three days after exercising ovulation happens. (Sometimes even out of the cycle.)

Aviva, developer of the method, sais that  you can optimize your reproductive hormone levels and energize your system by practicing the AvivaBasicSteps. If in half year time you still don't have a good estrogen/progesterone balance, you need to start the AvivaOvu exercises.
They are fantastic I have to say.
When ever I just show them while teaching I feel my ovaries.

They not only stimulate circulation  in and around the inner organs of the lower abdomen, but they twist, fold and pull the Fallopian Tubes and the entire surrounding area. When practicing them we feel more heat than after the Basic Steps and a sense of static accumulation around the reproductive organs. It's very important to maintain this heat and energy by drinking hot tea or covering the belly with warm cloths afterwards. And right after it's to avoid hot bath or shower though.

We hold Enod-Gym sessions in the Eu Committee on Rue Belliard/Brussels, in the Eu Commission in Beualieu, in Yoga House Tervuren, and in Vossem. For Timetable click here.
HORMONE WORKSHOPS we hold once a month in Tervuren/Belgiumand in several times NewYork in August. Time table see here.

2. Diet
When it comes to diet, high-quality protein from organic meat and fish, Indian lentils, as well as healthy fats such as egg yolk, coconut oil and butter, will improve progesterone levels. An unprocessed, nutrient-rich (organic) diet is fundamental.
Progesterone can also be increased by several nutritional supplements, including vitamin A. Some sources warn though, that as a supplement Beta-carotene is the safest in order to avoid overdose.

Eating dairy products or fish can supply vitamin A. Some fruits and vegetables, especially those that are orange or dark green, like carrots, pumpkin, winter squash, dark green leafy vegetables and apricots,  contain beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A.

 As a general rule fat-soluble vitamins have a beneficial effect on sex hormones.

Fat-soluble vitamins are the A, D, E and K.
They are not heat sensitive, don't loose value by cooking.
On the contrary of water-soluble vitamins, fat-soluble vitamins get stored in the liver and fatty tissues, and are eliminated much more slowly than water-soluble vitamins. It's often said that overdose of these vitamins may cause toxicity. Yet, lately the required daily dose is going through lot of reevaluation and still there is no clear conclusion across the different medical sources.

Episiotomy and Perineal Tearings

HOW TO PREVENT EPISIOTOMY or ANY PERINEAL TEARINGS DURING CHILDBIRTH

While preparing for my sun’s delivery 2 year ago, one of the most important points I was focusing on was how to avoid episiotomy. (Episiotomy is a surgical cut made in the lower opening of the vagina to enlarge it prior to birth) I can’t tell you exactly why it was so important to me…  One never thinks she would be that uniquely tragic case when the cut happens to be far too long which irreparably goes all the way to the anus and this way puts an end on lot of good things in life… I certainly heard from a midwife that there is a good research to show that episiotomy may precipitate more extensive tearing at the perineum.  Anyways, I thought if it’s possible to deliver without any cuts, I’d like to do it that way.

First of all I talked to other moms in my neighborhood. As a result I chose an obstetrician, who was the obstetrician of one of those moms who managed to deliver without episiotomy.  (Van Dijck Roland / Heilig Hart / Leuven, Belgium).

Secondly when we met for the first time, I asked him, how he relates to episiotomy; whether he’s ready to work with me on avoiding it. Some obstetricians –I would say from the old school- administer episiotomy automatically… According to my experience at first delivery in Colombo, Sri Lanka, delivering without it requires a team work. Meaning that the obstetrician takes the new mom and all her reaction into consideration.  At one point my doctor in Colombo asked me to push slowly, gently, so no sudden tearings would occur-he said. With my second pregnancy I was in Belgium, and I asked  Dr Van Dijck’s opinion. His response was satisfying. Even cooperative obstetricians would not say, “oh no, I would never do that horrible thing!”, just keeping the door slightly open they would say  “If it’s possible I would not administer episiotomy”.  So I went ahead with him. 

Later on during my pregnancy I met the wonderful Dr. Francesca Spada, mother of 3. She explained me how to do the perineum massage, which helps to prevent episiotomy.  Here you can see: perineum massage on you tube

I also knew that prevention starts with good nutrition, because tissue that is exposed to a good diet will have more elasticity. My diet is super good, and it made me quite self-confident despite of my age (above 40), and despite of the way doctors looked at me during my pregnancy due to my age... 

I brought warm compresses to the delivery room, that we did apply for a bit right before the pushing phase, but eventually didn’t have the energy to deal with it seriously.  

One of my nurses recommended the side position as well. It’s said to be one of the best ones in avoiding any unwanted tearings. Because of some reason eventually I delivered in the classical position laying on the back… this carries the highest risk.

Next day after delivery the kinesiologue asked if I can sit on a chair, “of course”- I said proudly.  “So you did the perineum massage?” - She smiled. –“I’ve never met anyone who needed episiotomy after applying perineum massage.” Working at the delivery department in a city hospital she’s met thousands of new moms, she knows what she sais I reckon!

GIRLS in my AVIVA CLASSES found FURTHER GYNEACOLOGS and Midwifes, whom they had good experience with:

Dr Francesca Spada / St Luc and Medicis / is very opened with regards to alternative approaches. She's knowledgeable in pregnancy diabetes diet and perineum massage as well, with which you can avoid episiotomy during delivery. She herself is a mother of three, her last kid was 5kg whom she delivered without episiotomy. Expect a long waiting list, she's busy!

Dr Frederic Buxant is very considerate when it comes to the client as a person. http://www.cmce.be/.

Dr. Soto, finds it a failure if he has to administer episiotomy. He's got a busy schedule, quickest to get appointment to him at Louise Medical Center
