Most women who make it to a certain age in life will experience menopause. This is the term used in medicine to describe the period of time that follows the last menstrual cycle of a women. It occurs in most women when they are between the ages of 40 and 50 years old. The exact age of onset will differ by individuals, but there are signs to look for. Menopause and slow metabolism usually come together. Most women will gain some amount of weight during this period in life because of the changes in metabolism and the other symptoms of this condition.
This process is natural and biological. It is expected to happen in healthy women. The experience will vary by person. Still, there are signs that indicate this stage in life and not all of them are favorable.
Menopause indicates the end of fertility. Still, there are women who remain healthy, sexual and vital following this stage of life. Some are happy to go through this process because it means they will no long have their monthly period and are freed of worrying about pregnancy.
Not all of these symptoms will be good. Many will struggle with hot flashes, emotional problems and a host of other physical issues because of this. It might also be difficult for them to manage their mental health, as many report feelings of loss, anxiety and sadness during this time.
The experience will vary by person. Many women will go through a time called perimenopause, which occurs in the years and months that lead up to menopause. Signs and symptoms associated with both of these stages in a women: dry skin, vaginal dryness, irregular periods, weight gain, night sweats, loss of breast fullness, thinning hair, trouble sleeping, changes in mood, hot flashes and slowed metabolism. Often, women will experience more than one of these symptoms at a time.
There are many ways that a slower metabolism can impact a woman. Metabolism is defined as the bodily process in which food and drink consumed is turned to energy. Even when the body resists, it is necessary for it to have energy to carry out processes like cell repair, breathing and circulation of blood. The amount of calories necessary for proper function of the body is known as basal metabolic rate and may differ based on age, body size and composition, and sex.
Women who are menopausal may notice that they have more difficulty gaining weight than losing it. They may notice that despite their frequent and hard exercise routines, they do not lose weight. The pounds might pack on in unfamiliar areas, often the midsection, and despite the amount of calories that are consumed. Women tend to have cracked skin, dry hair, sugar cravings and cellulite when their metabolism is slow.
Women going through this are encouraged to work closely with doctors. These professionals will ensure that preventative care is given to those in need, including pelvic exams, colonoscopy, mammography, thyroid tests and breast exams. Symptoms of this, including weight gain, may be better managed by those who have the adequate amount of vitamins and minerals in their system. Managing stress, regularly exercising and maintaining a balanced diet will also be of benefit.
