Today’s women lead fast-paced and stressful lives in polluted surroundings and have fibre-poor diets, hence resulting in premature aging from the damaging free radicals and psychological stress.
As women approach their late thirties, they begin to lose collagen, bone mass and experience sagging body tone. When they hit their mid-forties, they experience changes in their menstruation cycle, leading to menopause. Menopause is the direct result of the woman’s ovaries ‘shutting down’ and this in turn leads to a drastic drop in the levels of estrogen. Consequently, low estrogen level can contribute to osteoporosis. Other symptoms commonly associated with menopause also set in, such as hot flushes, mood swings, tiredness and headache.
With sustained stress and age, low hormonal levels can lead to the rapid deterioration in facial complexion, libido, energy, sense of well-being and overall body resilience.
