If you are an older woman going through the menopause stage and have gained some weight, do not worry. It is common to put on weight during this time. Why do women gain weight during menopause? Hormonal changes are the blame for this. During menopause a woman stops ovulating and her monthly period ends. Once all of this ends the body produces much lower levels of estrogen. Studies have shown that low estrogen levels can cause weight gain. In both men and women as we age, all our muscle turn to fat and the metabolism slows down. In order to keep the weight off you will have to change your eating habits. Someone 65 years of age cannot have the same amount of calories of someone who is 45. When it comes to gaining weight during menopause hormone therapy with estrogen can help control this. Hormone therapy also helps control menopausal symptoms. During the early stages of hormone therapy you might experience a little bloating and water retention. Later on these things will not affect you. If you are woman going through menopause you may want to consider hormone therapy. Why? Not only can it relieve you of menopausal symptoms but it can lower your cholesterol and reduce the risk of you getting a heart disease.
