Weight Gain Common Signs •Excessive weight gain •Increased abdominal fat deposits •Failed exercise plan •Failed diet plan Menopause: more pain, more weight gain. As if hot flushes, night sweats, mood swings and headaches aren’t enough, there’s more pain – irregular and, sometimes uncontrollable, weight gain. Approximately 90% of menopausal women experience it. A so-called menopause-related weight gain typically does not respond to diet, exercise or other lifestyle efforts. There is abundant scientific evidence, which has become common knowledge, linking weight gain (especially abdominal type of weight gain) to menopause. During menopause, the estrogen levels decline rapidly, causing your body to undergo a complex hormonal shift. What you may not know can make you heavier Estrogen plays a huge role in menopausal weight gain. As the ovaries produce less estrogen, the body looks for other places to get needed estrogen from. Fat cells can produce estrogen, so the body reprograms itself to convert calories into fat to increase estrogen levels. Naturally, when the healthy hormonal balance in the body is restored, the body may switch off its contingency mechanisms that store additional fat. This could make weight loss at menopause a lot more attainable. Amberen may help!
