Preocupada por la situación, me hice unos exámenes médicos, y el doctor me dijo: "Estás perfecta. Se nota que te alimentas bien".
"Sí, pero estoy con mucho desgano y se me está formando una "barriga" que me tiene incómoda", le dije al médico.
Él me respondió: "Eso se debe al síndrome postmenospáusico. Debes cambiar los hábitos de alimentación. Lo primero que debes hacer es desayunar siempre con huevo; dos, por lo menos, y cenar antes de las siete de la noche. Además, debes caminar o, por lo menos, bailar".
"Desde hace siete años camino todos los días", le dije al doctor, entonces "ajusta la forma de alimentarte", me respondió él. "Ah, por cierto, los cambios no se van a ver inmediatamente, pero al cabo de quince días los comenzarás a notar".
Desde el viernes comencé a ajustar mi alimentación y nos les miento si les digo que me he sentido con más energía y menos inflamada. No sé si el cambio se debe a mi mente positiva, pero lo que he logrado entender es que el organismo funciona como una máquina, y de acuerdo con la edad que tengamos, debemos alimentarnos de manera apropiada. Además, no solo debemos ejercitar el cuerpo, sino también la mente. Por eso, esta red social me parece maravillosa, ya que nos permite leer y escribir todos los días o casi todos los días.
El cerebro se puede "entrenar" gracias a la neuroplasticidad, permitiendo aprender nuevas habilidades, fortalecer la memoria y aumentar la agilidad mental mediante retos, aprendizaje y ejercicio físico.
Por otro lado, existe una sinergia perfecta entre el entrenamiento físico y la oxigenación cerebral
Ambos consumen mucha energía (el cerebro consume cerca del 20% de la energía corporal) y se benefician del ejercicio físico, que mejora la oxigenación cerebral.
En este siglo XXI, la gente vive cada vez más, pero debemos procurar vivir con calidad. Esto es vivir valiéndonos física, mental y emocionalmente por nosotros mismos; entonces es momento de "mover el cuerpo para que él no detenga su andar".

All doctors prescribe it. But sometimes lethargy prevents us from creating the habit of exercising; so we prefer to say: "I'll start tomorrow" or "It's cloudy and if I go for a walk I might get wet and sick" "First I'll buy the clothes and then I'll join the gym," etc.
I weighed 4.5 kilos when I was born. But, as a friend says, I'm "a frustrated skinny girl." I've always been determined to eat healthily and walk. Right now, I'm 53 years old. Menopause has taken its toll on me: Fortunately, I haven't been depressed or had hot flashes; but I have felt very lethargic; a sleepiness that won't go away even after drinking two cups of coffee; also, the less I eat, the more my belly bulges, even though the scale doesn't show any weight gain.
Worried about the situation, I had some medical tests done, and the doctor told me: "You're perfect. It's clear you eat well."
"Yes, but I'm very lethargic and I'm developing a 'belly' that's making me uncomfortable," I told the doctor.
He replied, "That's due to postmenopausal syndrome. You need to change your eating habits. The first thing you should do is always have eggs for breakfast; at least two, and eat dinner before seven o'clock at night. Also, you should walk or, at least, dance."
"I've been walking every day for seven years," I told the doctor, so "adjust your diet," he replied. "Oh, by the way, you won't see the changes immediately, but you'll start to notice them after two weeks."
Since Friday, I've started adjusting my diet, and I'm not lying when I say I've felt more energetic and less bloated. I don't know if the change is due to my positive mindset, but what I've come to understand is that the body works like a machine, and depending on our age, we must eat appropriately. Furthermore, we shouldn't just exercise our bodies, but our minds as well. That's why I find this social network wonderful, since it allows us to read and write every day, or almost every day.
The brain can be "trained" thanks to neuroplasticity, allowing us to learn new skills, strengthen memory, and increase mental agility through challenges, learning, and physical exercise.
On the other hand, there is a perfect synergy between physical training and brain oxygenation.
Both consume a lot of energy (the brain consumes about 20% of the body's energy) and benefit from physical exercise, which improves brain oxygenation.
In this 21st century, people are living longer and longer, but we must strive to live with quality. This means living physically, mentally, and emotionally self-sufficient; so it's time to "move the body so it doesn't stop moving."
