Exercise And Menopause
Menopause is something that every woman must
face eventually. Mood swings, headaches and hot flashes are just a few of
the things to look forward to. Hormone replacement has been one of the
most common ways to treat menopause, but this therapy is not without side
effects. But what else can you do? Consider exercise.
Benefits of Exercise
Staying physically fit may help reduce and
even eliminate some of the effects of menopause.
Decreasing Estrogen Levels: Exercise
has been shown to increase the levels of estrogen in your body naturally
without drugs. Increasing estrogen levels should decrease hot flashes.
Avoid the problems of synthetic hormones.
Loss of Muscle & weight Gain: It can
also increase your muscle mass and speed up your metabolism. This will
help you lose weight or more importantly prevent you from gaining weight
during menopause.
Stress & Anxiety: Exercise will reduce
our stress level and make you less anxious.
Finding A Personal Trainer
If you are starting to have symptoms of
menopause, consider calling on the services of a quality personal training
professional. Ask your physical fitness professional to tailor a program
to suit your specific needs.
