Mel B has revealed how the menopause has 'taken its toll' on her health. The 50-year-old Spice Girls star has joined Revive Collagen as a brand ambassador for its Menopause range, reflecting on her own struggles with the natural end of menstrual cycles, which typically occurs between ages 45 and 55.
She told the Daily Mail: 'I've been through my own menopause journey. Hot sweats, night sweats. Then you're cold, then you forget what you've gone downstairs for, then you go back upstairs and it's ongoing. God it takes its toll.' She added: 'I think there's something like 48 symptoms. I've more or less had nearly all of them at some point.' Symptoms include hot flushes, night sweats, irritability, anxiety, low self-esteem, brain fog and palpitations.
The Wannabe hitmaker urged women to educate themselves about the impact of the changes. She said: 'This is why it's important to educate ourselves because us as women we need to take control over this. Do ourselves justice and make it easier and more simple for us, right?'
Mel has also made waves this week by sharing a video of herself in a revealing bikini on Instagram, captioned: 'ITS MONDAY and I’m walkinn away from the NOISE… so if thats what your bringing you can KISS MY [**S]!' The cryptic post comes after reports the Spice Girls' 30th anniversary reunion has been cancelled, though Mel C recently said she remains 'very optimistic' about future plans.
