What are the important lifestyle modifications to manage Menopause?
Menopause increases your risk of osteoporosis due to the loss of your bone-protecting estrogen. We may recommend certain exercises and medications to help prevent bone loss and maintain bone health.
In addition to bone health, menopause may also lead to weight gain. Eating a healthy balanced diet and getting regular exercise and yoga may help reduce your risk of the weight gain associated with menopause. Plus, making better food choices and increasing your activity may reduce your risk of developing other medical conditions such as heart disease or diabetes.
