Alcohol

Drinking alcoholic drinks excessively can have quite an impact on a person’s body.

The experts noted: “In menopausal women, it has been known to exacerbate symptoms, such as hot flushes.

“This is because alcohol causes dilation of blood vessels, causing increased blood flow.”

Alcohol also contains secret calories that can easily cause people to overeat on their daily calorie limit.

Caffeinated drinks

Hot beverages such as coffee could also exacerbate symptoms such as hot flushes and digestive issues, especially if you are already suffering from conditions such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), say Forth.

“Try switching one of your daily coffees to decaffeinated drinks, or herbal teas,” they suggested, in order to give the body a break.
