Menopause is often
called “the change”. Women’s bodies go through many changes at this time. Some
changes may be welcome; women will no more deal with periods & birth control is
no longer necessary. But some changes may but be so welcome. Until menopause,
estrogen helps protect our bodies & our heart. With the drop in estrogen, the
chance of bone loss & heart disease increases.
Menopause is a natural event. One of the best attitudes to have about menopause
is to think of it not just as an ending, but as a beginning. The second half of
a women’s life can be as healthy and happy as the first part.
