Presented by Daniel Toriola Menopause is not a disease. It is a natural process in the life of a woman. Menopause that occurs in women younger than 40 is considered to be premature ovarian failure. Menopause also occurs when a woman's uterus and ovaries are surgically removed. Click here to know more What Can 5 Bucks Get You?

Click here to know more Exercise Your Way Through Perimenopause By Susan Megge It’s unfortunate, but most women don’t realize how crucial a role regular fitness and exercise is to reducing many symptoms associated with perimenopause. As women approach menopause they begin to gain weight, especially around their mid-section. This abdominal weight is quite common and the result of declining hormone levels, which may cause the metabolism to slow down significantly. Most women will notice a significant amount of fat deposition around the area of their mid-section or abdomen. You’ll especially want to avoid or eliminate this added weight due to the fact that this type of fat plays a significant role in contributing to heart disease, the number one killer of middle-aged and older women. You may not think that losing your added weight is possible, but it is; this weight gain can be eliminated quite easily by simply getting into a regular exercise routine. Fitness and regular activity are the keys to decreasing weight and avoiding many conditions associated with aging. If you’re willing to commit to a regular exercise routine - one that includes weight bearing exercises - you will change the muscle-to-fat ratio, enabling you to increase your metabolic rate and burn calories, even at rest. In addition to weight gain, if you’re in your thirties or beyond, you’re also beginning to lose bone mass at a rate of approximately 1% per year. This rate will increase to 2%-3% per year after menopause. Many studies have proven that exercise can increase a woman's bone density, which reduces the risk of osteoporosis and the incidence of falls and bone fractures associated with osteoporosis. As you may know, osteoporosis goes undetected in many women until bone fractures occur; if, however, you take preventative measures, such as getting into a regular fitness routine, you can indeed reduce this risk. Exercising regularly can also be beneficial in reducing the occurrence of hot flashes, a common symptom women experience as they approach menopause. Hot flashes have been known to contribute to impaired sleep patterns and a decreased energy level. If you’re not getting enough sleep and are feeling sluggish, it’s quite likely that this may affect your overall mood, which has the potential to negatively impact both personal and professional relationships. Estrogen replacement therapy has been shown to decrease these symptoms, but many women prefer to seek natural alternatives; obviously, exercise has proven to be a very viable alternative for a great number of women. In summary, making fitness and exercise a priority will benefit most women who are experiencing symptoms of perimenopause, and the positive results - both physical and emotional - are well worth the extra time you’ll spend once you begin and continue a regular exercise routine.

What you may not realize is that there is another stage - perimenopause. Perimenopause is the transition stage between normal menstruation, and menopause. One of the signs of menopause is when a woman has not had a period for twelve consecutive months. Perimenopause symptoms begin to occur when are still experiencing menstrual cycles, but the time between or length may fluctuate quite a bit. During this stage, women may still experience menstrual cycles, but they are fluctuating. Typically, perimenopause can happen occur during a woman's late 30's, 40's or 50's. Perimenopause indicates that a woman is approaching menopause. Some of the Perimenopause symptoms are: Changes to menstrual cycle - could be a lightening in flow, heavier flow, longer or shorter intervals between periods) - Sleep problems - Anxiety, depression, mood swings - Difficulty concentrating - Water retention or bloating - Hot flashes - Night sweats - Weight gain - Vaginal dryness You may experience just a few of the perimenopause symptoms, or you may find that you suffer from a lot of them. Unfortunately, the perimenopause period can happen for several months, or even last for a few years. During normal menstruation, estrogen is produced in the first part of the menstrual cycle and after ovulation progesterone is produced. During perimenopause, the ovulation period starts to decline, and as a result, there is a decline in progesterone. This declining progesterone against estrogen levels causes a hormonal imbalance. If, for some reason, you have an imbalance in your hormone levels due to an illness or medical condition, you may experience symptoms that resemble perimenopause. Perimenopause is a natural The No Sweat Guide To Fitness An Ebook for those too tired, too demotivated or too bored to exercise. Page 3 Presented by Daniel Toriola condition, but you could be experiencing the symptoms of it early. The best way to determine whether you are experiencing signs of menopause is to get a simple blood test. Your doctor can test your estrogen and progesterone levels, as well as test for other conditions. While you can't prevent perimenopause, or the symptoms that are associated with it, you can minimize those symptoms and the impact they have on your life. For instance, watching your weight, getting sufficient exercise, eating a healthy, balanced diet, adding nutrient-rich supplements, and reducing your anxiety level can help minimize the symptoms of perimenopause and signs of menopause. Perimenopause symptoms indicate just one more stage in a woman's life. It doesn't have to be uncomfortable or frustrating. With the right information and watching your lifestyle, you can make the move into this new phase with little fuss or worry.
