Women who had their ovaries removed before menopause, particularly before the age of 40 were found to have reduced white matter integrity in multiple regions of their brain later in life, according to a study published in Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association.
Women who regularly swim in cold water report experiencing significant improvements to both their physical and mental menopause symptoms, according to research recently published in Post Reproductive Health that was led by researchers from the University College London (UCL).
Menopause marks a significant phase in a woman’s life, characterized by the cessation of menstruation and a complex array of symptoms that can profoundly impact overall well-being and quality of life. From the discomfort of hot flashes and night sweats to the emotional turbulence of mood swings and the frustration of sleep disturbances, the manifestations of menopause are diverse and often necessitate expert guidance and intervention.
Most women agree that menopause has its advantages and disadvantages. Some relish the end of menstruation and concerns about unplanned pregnancies, while others dread the possibililty of hot flashes, moodiness, and other unpleasant symptoms. What some women consider a brief and barely noticeable phase in their lives can evolve into lasting changes and discomfort for others.
Now, a new paradigm around the biological processes of menopause is capturing the attention of a small group of scientists around the country. The primary question: can menopause be delayed in healthy women, allowing them to extend their child-bearing years -- and perhaps even forestall some of the health risks and uncomfortable symptoms linked to plummeting estrogen levels? These questions can be controversial: Some people believe that such research could lead to life-changing benefits for women, while others consider menopause to be a biologically driven life stage that should not be pathologized by medical science.
A paper published in the journal Post Reproductive Health from University College London suggests that menopausal women who regularly swim in cold water experience significant improvements in their physical and mental symptoms.
Fighting belly fat is not exactly easy for anyone, but menopause can take it to another level with challenging hormonal changes occurring that can lead to extra weight around the middle, but there are ways to battle the menopot unwanted weight gain.
A lot of people feel as if weight gain is rather inevitable once entering those middle years, but this is not a fact, and it does not necessarily have to be that way. Women may start to notice symptoms of menopause due to natural hormonal changes such as mood swings, night sweats, and hot flashes, but weight gain is one of those symptoms that you don't have to simply sit back and accept as being unstoppable.
