Twinkle Khanna opens up about menopause at 52<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old took to her Instagram account and dropped selfies of herself. She claimed not to be wearing make-up in her pictures as she opened up about ageing. Talking about reassumptions, Khanna wrote in the caption: \u201cAt 52 and make-up free, I\u2019d love to say that all you need is some great afternoon sun to feel and look good. But menopause is not that generous.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said that she didn’t feel good due to menopause for a long time. \u201cI once joked that menopause is a bigger bitch than I have ever been \ud83d\ude42 For a long stretch, it made me feel like I was a phone with a faulty charger,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel better now, not because I \u2018accepted my age gracefully\u2019 (whatever that means), but thanks to regular weight training, a small pharmacy\u2019s worth of supplements, the joy and purpose I find in books (reading and writing) and because after 50 I\u2019ve finally embraced my shallow side and play mahjong regularly with my girlfriends,\u201d she shared in her witty style.<\/p>\n

Supplements for menopause<\/p>\n

Twinkle Khanna continued to share a list of supplements that she opts for.<\/p>\n

With a warning, she said, \u201cWhile I continue to mull over the pros and cons of HRT, here\u2019s what I\u2019m currently taking to survive this transition. Please do your research and check with your doctor.\u2028What works for me may not work for you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrent lineup. Coenzyme Q10, NAD, Omega-3, Lion\u2019s Mane, Health & Hers Menopause Support Iron, Vitamin D3 +K2, Collagen (and) Magnesium Glycinate,\u201d her post concluded.<\/p>\n

Netizens react to Twinkle Khanna’s menopause post<\/p>\n

Reacting to her post, many shared about their menopause journey in the comments.<\/p>\n

A user wrote in her comment, \u201cI have always used Night and Day repair cream of O3 and as a gynae myself at 67, I take Calcium and Magnesium supplements, good hydration, sleep for 7 hours and an egg or curd ( 250 gm) daily and still not many wrinkles yet.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI live in surrender – giving up ego a little by little every day – this is I feel the main purpose of menopause now, to give you the old you, built from childhood based on outside expectations, shed those unnecessary layers, discover the real you within, the one that is in harmony with the big plan, the reason you were born… I feel fresh, I feel new, the more I surrender in spirit, the more I see my body and mind align itself with the truth, become what it was always meant to be,\u201d added another.<\/p>\n
