At some stage in life, women are expected to go through menopause. This is the medical terminology used to describe the months that follow the final menstrual cycle. It is the last stage of the female reproductive system and often occurs in women who fall between the ages of 40s and 50s. There is no exact age in which this is expected to begin, but there are certain signs that can indicate that it has started. Menopause and slow metabolism often go hand in hand. Many women may gain weight during this stage in life because of the slowed metabolism and all other symptoms associated with menopause.
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.
This is different for all people. Most will experience perimenopause. That is, signs of menopause that develop in the months and years leading up to the actual event. Some of the signs and symptoms associated with these stages: irregular periods, dry skin, thinning hair, loss of fullness in breasts, vaginal dryness, night sweats, weight gain, slow metabolism, hot flashes, mood changes, and difficulty sleeping. It is not uncommon for women to experience multiple symptoms at once.
Slow metabolism can effect a woman in many ways. Metabolism is the term used when describing the process in which humans convert food and drink to energy. Even while the body rests, it requires energy to circulate blood, breathe and repair the cells. The total calories needed for normal bodily function is referred to as basal metabolic rate. Factors that might change this rate include sex, composition and size of body, and age.
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.
People going through this stage should work with their doctors. Preventative care is important and includes colonoscopy, thyroid tests, mammography, breast exams and pelvic exams. It is recommended that women take supplements or otherwise ensure that they have the minerals and vitamins necessary to reduce the weight gain and other symptoms associated with this condition. A balanced diet, management of stress and regular exercise might also help.
