Looking For Soy Shakes For Menopause

By Leon Seabrook


When women are going through the various stages of menopause most will experience some discomfort and unpleasant symptoms such as hot flashes and night sweating. Most will visit their family doctor and ask for some treatment to help with these symptoms and medication is usually prescribed. In recent years alternative medicines have become more popular and if you are trying to find shakes for menopause it is worth doing a little homework.

Qualified doctors will have a list of medication that they can prescribe to help combat the unpleasant effects of the female menopause. Hormone replacement treatment is one of the most widely used treatments. A lot of HRT users have experienced some side effects when taking this particular drug and so natural remedies may be better suited to them.

Soy milk has become popular for a lot of women and they are now taking it regularly to help with discomforts caused by the female menopause. Because it is very high in estrogens it may help to stop the flashes and night sweats. Although professional medical bodies have not yet approved its use many physicians are now advising their patients to use this treatment.

In some recent reports investigating the use of soy there have been some mixed findings and things are still not completely clear. Some patients have said that they have experienced some digestive problems and other adverse effects after using soy. There have been some medical reports that have said using soy may increase the risks of female cancers and breast cancer patients have been advised not to use soy due to the estrogens that it contains.

There are various places where you are able to buy soy shakes and many pharmacies and supermarkets sell them. There are also specialist health food stores in most towns and cities where you are able to buy the drinks. Another option is to buy soy milk and make your own drinks which is a good option as you can add a flavoring of your choice.

The internet is also a good place to buy from and there are many suppliers that advertise their products online. The web sites contain some useful information on the various products and what they do. Many of the web sites will also shave a testimonials section where you can read reviews from customers that have previously purchased products.

After deciding that alternative medicine is the way to go some care should be taken. If you start to drink the soy and feel worse or other symptoms develop then you should stop using it and try another form of treatment. If you feel that the shakes are beneficial then they can be continued as long as you feel healthy and generally well.

With any course of natural remedy it is advisable to speak with your doctor before you start as you may have underlying health conditions that need to be considered. Regular exercise and a healthy balanced diet will also help with many conditions and the healthier you are the better you will respond to any treatment. There are many books and web sites with information on soy and these can be worth reading.
