Exercise

Why is exercise so important?

Exercise is vital for menopausal women due to the many benefits that directly address the physical and emotional challenges experienced during this life stage.
Exercise promotes fat loss and preserves lean muscle mass.
Exercise supports bone health by stimulating bone formation and density, thus decreasing the risk of osteoporosis that accompanies declining estrogen levels during menopause.
Exercise helps lower blood pressure, improve circulation, and reduce the risk of heart disease, which becomes a greater concern post-menopause due to hormonal changes.
Exercise plays a role in managing menopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, mood swings, and sleep disturbances by promoting the release of endorphins, which can improve mood and sleep quality.
Exercise fosters a sense of empowerment and control over your health, which is especially important during a time of transition like menopause.
