Exercise To Manage Menopause Weight Gain and Other Symptoms

The article from MSN discusses how exercise can help manage various symptoms of menopause, including weight gain, hot flashes, mood swings, and bone density loss. It highlights that regular physical activity can mitigate weight gain by boosting metabolism and reducing fat accumulation, particularly around the abdomen. Exercise also helps in reducing the frequency and severity of hot flashes, potentially through the regulation of body temperature and hormonal balance. Additionally, engaging in physical activities can improve mood by releasing endorphins, which act as natural antidepressants, and can help combat the mood swings associated with menopause. Furthermore, weight-bearing exercises are emphasized for their role in preventing osteoporosis by increasing bone density. The article suggests a combination of aerobic exercises, strength training, and flexibility workouts to address these symptoms comprehensively, recommending at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous activity per week, along with muscle-strengthening exercises twice a week.
