From around 40 years old, women’s bodies begin to experience certain changes both internally and externally due to perimenopause and menopause. Insomnia, fatigue, and stress often appear suddenly and uncontrollably, and in light of this and several other discomforts, many people decide to fill their homes with medicines that can help them. However, the cardiologist Aurelio Rojas is clear: “You don’t need a pharmacy to stay healthy.” Through his social networks, the expert published a video in which he revealed the three unique supplements that science backs to face this stage with energy and to protect heart health and muscles. They are the following:
1. Magnesium: the definitive ally for rest and stress
Magnesium is the third supplement on the list, but its impact on health is enormous. From age 40, many women start sleeping worse, feel more tired, and suffer more stress. Here is where this supplement becomes key, as it helps the body to function well inside in more than 300 daily processes. If you take the right amount of magnesium, you will notice that you sleep much better, your muscles work well and your nerves relax. To notice its benefits, Dr. Rojas recommends taking between 200 and 400 milligrams of magnesium, looking for options called bisglyinato or citrate, and taking it one hour before bedtime.
2. Omega 3: perfect for protecting the heart
The second supplement on the list is Omega 3, and it is vital for long-term health protection. The doctor reminds us of a very important and worrying fact: heart problems remain the leading cause of death in women. Fortunately, science shows that Omega 3 works very well to protect the body, as it clearly reduces the risk of heart attacks and other heart diseases. Moreover, it is a fantastic ally to combat inflammation and care for the health of our brain. To take it correctly, the cardiologist advises carefully checking the capsule label to ensure we take at least 1000 milligrams a day of its main components, EPA and DHA, and to take it always with a full stomach.
3. Creatine: one of the best supplements you can take
The number one supplement on the list, and the most important of all, is creatine, a product that is often not given the value it deserves. The doctor explains that from 40 years old and especially after menopause, women begin to lose strength and muscle mass very quickly. Creatine helps precisely to slow that loss, to have more strength and keep the mind sharp and awake. The cardiologist assures that taking between three and five grams per day of creatine is the best option there is because it is safe and effective, especially if combined with strength exercises. To finish, Dr. Aurelio Rojas reminds us that pills do not work miracles and are of no use if you eat poorly, do not move, or sleep little, because the most important thing at this stage of life is to take care of yourself and always put yourself first.
