We talk about losing weight the right way all the time.This article (a whole series of articles) is dedicated to women: losing weight, nutrition and hormone reset during menopause.
Before the onset of menopause, the body experiences a coordinated interaction of hormones.With menopause, a new period begins in a woman's life, namely hormonal changes.
What is menopause?
In the years before and after the last menstrual period, women experience menopause.This transition is described as moving from a stage of life in which a woman can have children, to a stage of life in which pregnancy is not possible.
Causes: What causes menopause?
menopause(Menopause) is not actually a medical condition, but rather it describes a stage of a woman's life in which her 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.
Many physical complaints occur during menopause, including weight gain.
Hormones are chemical messengers in the body.They transmit information and regulate many body processes, such as metabolism, nutrition, respiration, blood pressure, salt and water balance, sexual function, and pregnancy.
The spectrum of action of hormones is wide.According to 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 effect of the hormone is manifested.
Thus,hormone insulin, for example, lowers blood sugar levels;Adrenaline increases blood pressure, and the male sex hormone testosterone, among other things, ensures sperm maturation.
Hormone formation and function can be disrupted – often with far-reaching consequences throughout the body.As long as there is an imbalance of hormones in the body, it is impossible to expect a healthy body, healthy mind and harmony!
Hormones play an important role in managing our mental and physical health from adolescence to old age.
