*-- Feel Relief from Holiday Stress --*

Experiencing hot flashes? Breathe in some lavender. Breathing in this aroma for at least 20 minutes twice a day can cut the intensity of your hot flashes by 53%. The scent reduces stress hormones and stimulates your brain's temperature control center, heightening its ability to keep you comfortable and cool. You can light a lavender scented candle or mix two drops of lavender essential oil into a plain lotion and massage into your neck and wrists.

Are you cranky all day? Much on apples. Two a day will keep all of the "bah-humbugs" away! Researchers suggest that apples can help you feel 50% happier and more energetic within 24 hours. The nutrients in apples trigger the production of mood-boosting hormones!

Not really in the mood for partying? Low levels of estrogen and progesterone tamp down your brain's production of energizing beta waves post-menopause. To kick-start beta-wave energy release, enjoy 4oz. of protein-rich foods such as chicken, beef or fish.

Tip: Enjoy a glass of wine. Having a glass of wine daily cuts mood swings and irritability by 63%. Wine's phytoestrogens pinch-hit for estrogen when hormone levels drip.
