Short Term Memory Loss During The Menopause

Women sometimes temporarily experience short term memory loss during the menopause.
Menopause is a stressful time for the body which is trying to adjust to new levels of the various hormones in the body.
This stress can trigger a bout of short term memory loss, so stress management is a very important factor to improve short term memory loss during the menopause.
Stress causes the body to release a hormone called cortisol which blocks the memories from being registered.
Since it is a known fact that most women going through the menopause are stressed, it is essential to stay positive and stay stress free. Easier said than done, I know :) Try the EFT I mentioned in my penultimate post.
I find that l-theanine which is extracted from tea, is a wonderful gentle supplement that really helps with anxiety and stress...
