Hotflashes are a sign that you are going through major hormonal transition. If the intensity and frequency become more than tolerable, it signifies that there is underlying imbalance. If left untreated, the hotflashes may gradually lessen, but the underlying hormone imbalance would continue to wear down the body, percolating irreversible diseases that eventually surface in old age such as diabetes, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, osteoporosis, and dementia. Ask your doctor to help you rebalance hormones if you are getting more than 3 episodes a day.
If you are getting less than 3 hotflashes a day, try these recipes and you will not feel too hot at holiday gatherings.
