How to Control Weight and Health in Menopause
|
|
Some one who is physically inactive is far more prone to weight gain, coronary heart disease, obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and osteoporosis. Sedentary women may also suffer more from chronic back pain, stiffness, insomnia, and irregularity. They often have poor circulation, weak muscles and loss of bone mass. |
Depression may also be a problem among inactive women, especially during menopause. Women who regularly perform aerobic or strength-training activity can more easily circumvent these problems. During exercise, hormones called endorphins are released in the brain. They are "feel good" hormones involved in the body's positive response to stress. The mood-heightening effect can last for several hours, according to some endocrinologists.
Studies show that women performing aerobic activity or muscle-strength training reduced mortality from heart disease and cancer.
Consult your doctor before starting a rigorous exercise program. He or she will help you decide which types of exercises are best for you. An exercise program should start slowly and build up to more strenuous activities.
