We talk all the time about how to lose weight the right way.This article (and this entire series) is specifically for women: weight loss, nutrition, and resetting hormones during menopause.
Before menopause begins, the body goes through a coordinated interplay of hormones.With menopause, a new period in a woman's life begins, namely hormonal changes.
What is menopause?
Women experience menopause in the years before and after their last menstrual period.This transition has been described as moving from a stage of life in which a woman is fertile to a stage in life in which pregnancy is no longer possible.
Causes: What causes menopause?
menopauseMenopause (menopause) is not actually a medical condition, but rather describes a stage in a woman's life when hormone production decreases.
On average, menopause begins between the ages of 45 and 55 and lasts for several years.During this period, the production of female sex hormones, especially estrogen, decreases.
There are many physical complaints associated with menopause, including weight gain.
Hormones are chemical messengers in the body.They convey information and regulate many body processes such as metabolism, nutrition, respiration, blood pressure, salt and water balance, sexual function, and pregnancy.
Hormones have a wide range of effects.Depending on their purpose, they trigger so-called primary reactions, such as the formation of certain enzymes.These primary reactions in turn trigger secondary reactions through which the actual effects of the hormone are manifested.

Hormones play a vital role in managing our physical and mental health from adolescence to old age.
