What happens during Menopause??

During Menopause, the main symptoms or signs include,

Weight gain: Aerobic exercise increases the metabolic rate and promotes the loss of abdominal fat, the place most women more readily gain weight during menopause.

Osteoporosis: The biggest culprit in the process of bone loss is estrogen deficiency. Bone loss quickens during perimenopause. Weight-bearing exercise such as walking and weightlifting prevents bone loss, strengthens your bones and helps you feel younger.

Mood swings: Regular exercise is a popular prescription for anti-depression. The 'feel-good' bio-chemicals are high when the endorphin level is high. The mood heightening effect can last for several hours, according to some endocrinologists.

Hot flashes and night sweats: The mood elevating tension relieving effects of aerobic exercise increase endorphin activity and this diminishes the frequency of hot flashes and night sweats which may disrupt a woman's normal sleep cycle.
