One of the hallmark signs of perimenopause and menopause is a significant 10 to 15 pound weight gain that appears to come overnight. Many women are told that this is a common “middle aged spread” and that they must learn to live with it. In fact, while it may be associated with perimenopause and menopause, there are also other significant environmental and hormonal changes which can be affected and results in less weight gain or reversal.

Some of the reasons that women gain weight during perimenopause and menopause are a lack of exercise, eating more food, stress-related eating, hormonal imbalances, thyroid dysfunction and other underlying medical condition that become more evidence when the masking effect of estrogen is dropped.

Before assuming that the sudden weight gain is normal a woman should see her primary care physician or gynecologist in order to rule out any other medical condition that may be causing this effect. While there, she should also check with her physician to be sure that she can include both cardiac and strength training exercises in her weekly regimen. The physician can help evaluate how much exercise will be appropriate and the woman will be able to withstand, considering any other medical issues or conditions which she may be facing.  Read more...

Vitamin K comes into different forms: K-1 and K2. Kay one is synthesized from plants which we and K2 is synthesized in animals, including humans, from bacteria in the intestines. K2 is found in higher concentrations than Kate one in certain organs of the body, including the liver which suggests that there is more to be discovered about the synthesis and use the vitamin K in the body.

For the past several years researchers and doctors have believes that vitamin K has had a distinct role in the manufacture of bone and prevention of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women. Osteoporosis is a chronic bone condition that has a negative effect on the health of twice as many women as men over the age of 40. Bone loss occurs in everyone over the age of 35 and once a woman reaches menopause be preventative effects of estrogen are lost. Osteoporosis is a negative balance between bone growth and bone thinning.  Read more...

Calcium supplementation has long been known to help the development of bone growth in the early years so that older men and women have a lower risk of suffering from osteoporosis. Bone loss is a normal natural occurrence that happens from the age of 25 to 27 onward. In order to reduce the risk of osteoporosis and older years it’s important to have a higher bone mass density when the body is laying down large amounts of bone, between the ages of 12 and 24.

Research has shown that calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D are all important factors in the development of strong healthy bones. And while bone loss happens after the age of 27 the body does continue to lay down bone as well. The difference is that the amount of bone being produced is less than the amount of bone being lost as we grow older. However, knowing that the body continues to produce bone means that it also continues to require calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D.  Read more...

Exercise. Its what the doctor ordered! Research has shown that the benefits of exercise are far-reaching and complex. Weight training and strength training exercises are part of the program. The purpose of these exercises is to increase muscle strength and definition and the benefits are improved bone density and an improved sense of well-being. Weight training exercises will also help you look younger, stay fit and be healthy. With all of these benefits its hard to justify not fitting a strength training program into your exercise routine!

Your first stop should be at the doctors office. Your physician should be sure that your planned activity doesnt interfere with your current medical conditions, medications and fits with your current physical condition. Unfortunately, it is still possible to overdue strength training and injure yourself. At that point you are right back where you started unable to exercise and tentative about starting a program again.  Read more...

Menopause contributes to problems with bone health in women. Women are more at risk for osteoporosis with the onset of menopause. To counter the effects of menopause on the bones, learn how to prevent brittle bone disease.

Osteoporosis is the condition of weakened bone. During your 30s, you reach a peak in bone development and density. All throughout your life, your bone cells are continually breaking down and building new bone. How much new bone is developed is dependent on diet, exercise and managing bone loss during menopause.

When your body breaks down old cells and build new ones, there can be an imbalance in the process. Lower estrogen levels can cause more breakdown and less new bone being created. This leads to weaker bones that have trouble supporting you throughout daily activities. Weaker bones mean more hip fractures and other breaks from falls where stronger bone wouldn’t be affected.  Read more...

Osteoporosis is a chronic debilitating condition which affects the bone mass density of both men and women. Although postmenopausal women appeared to have more risk, both men and women have risk factors that can result in osteoporosis. Some of these risk factors are avoidable and some are unavoidable. Below are 10 risk factors that can make a difference in an individual’s health and their likelihood of developing osteoporosis as they age.

1. Although osteoporosis can affects men and women, sex is a risk factor. As many as twice as many women will develop osteoporosis than men. Women start out with a lower bone mass density, tend to live longer lives and lose the protection that estrogen gives their bones after menopause.

2. Bone mass density in the peak years is also a risk factor since the men who are thinner or have smaller body frames tend to have higher risk because their peak bone mass density is lower. Bone mass begins declining in everyone around the age of 35 years. If an individual starts with a higher number they can present or delay the onset of osteoporosis. Individuals younger than 30 can increase their peak bone mass density through weightlifting, weight-bearing exercises and appropriate nutrition.  Read more...

Alcoholism is a disease in which an individual has the inability to control the strong craving for alcohol. Individual who suffer from alcoholism often need the aid of alcohol in order to feel “normal”. They crave alcohol much like any other drug addict craves a “fix”. The cravings can be so severe that the individual can feel as if the need for alcohol is greater than the need for food or for water. It may become so severe that they feel that they cannot go a day without consuming alcohol.

The Character of alcoholism:

The disease alcoholism is not characterized by the type of alcohol or even by the amount of alcohol that is consumed by the individual but rather by the need to satisfy the craving for alcohol. It is characterized by the loss of control that is felt by the individual when the craving for alcohol is not satisfied. Alcoholics (individuals who suffer from alcoholism) often build up a tolerance to alcohol over time so that they need more and more alcohol in order to feel “normal”. They thus consume more and more alcohol, and this is what puts the individual at risk for serious health problems. There is also a psychological manifestation of the illness (alcoholism) as well as the physical symptoms of the disease.  Read more...

Osteoporosis is a chronic condition in which an individual loses bone mass and bone mass density. Unfortunately this often will lead to bone fractures that are more common in the hips, spine and wrists. Bone fractures that happen in the spine lead to loss of height and sometimes a dowagers hump. Those little fresh and fractures will affect the way in individuals can sit, stand, walk and look. Posture will be different which will affect the way in which a woman’s clothes will fit.

Clothing won’t drape the way it should and the length of the dress may be longer in the front and shorter in the back making it appear as if the hem is not even. Women who suffer from osteoporosis often find it incredibly difficult to find new clothes or her old clothes to fit well. Here are a few tips to help disguise the difference in posture and bone loss problems.  Read more...
