Fitness Article - Is Menopause a 4 Letter Word?
by Aaron M. Potts, ISSA CFT
First of all, let's define Menopause. Then we'll take a look at some natural ways to make this one of the best times in your life!
Defined, Menopause means "the cessation of menses", or in common terms, when a woman stops having her menstrual cycles. Most women enter this stage of their life between the ages of 40 and 58.
Perimenopause is the period directly preceding premenopause and is the transitional time between normal menstrual periods, and no periods at all. The time range of perimenopause can be anywhere from 5 to 15 years, during which estrogen and progesterone production by the ovaries starts to fluctuate, causing many menopausal symptoms.
Premenopause is the period directly preceding menopause, and some women begin to experience menopausal symptoms such as PMS, but most women still have regular menstrual cycles during this time.
As the progesterone production of the ovaries fluctuates and eventually bottoms out as ovulation stops completely, your body can easily slip into a state known as "estrogen dominance", which causes many unpleasant side effects. These include, but are not limited to:
- Fibroid tumors
- Tender breasts
- PMS
- Sudden weight gain
- Fatigue
- Irritability
- Depression
- Foggy thinking
- Memory loss
- Migraine headaches
- Irregular timing and flow of menstrual cycles
- Bleeding in between periods
- Cold hands and feet
- Hot flashes
In addition to your body's natural tendency to slip into "estrogen dominance", men and women alike can be exposed to excessive amounts of estrogen as a result of toxins in our environment such as pesticides, plastics, industrial waste products, car exhaust, meat, soaps, and many other things that we encounter in our day to day life.
Females can slip further into an estrogen dominated state as the result of being overweight. Fat cells produce estrogen, so the more overweight you are, the more excess estrogen there will be in your body.
In addition, even if your estrogen levels are normal, if your progesterone levels are below normal, you are still subject to the many acute and chronic conditions that are a result of estrogen dominance, including: breast and uterine cancer, acceleration of the aging process, increased risk of stroke and heart disease, allergy symptoms, depression, anxiety, weight gain (particularly in the abdominal region, hips, and thighs), fatigue, hair loss, osteoporosis, uterine fibroids, and more.
Also, as a woman travels through the menopausal time in her life, her body's ability to absorb nutrients diminishes, although her need for those nutrients increases.
Fortunately, it is possible to utilize a progesterone supplement to alleviate or eliminate many of the acute and chronic conditions associated with the menopausal years. Remember, it is the balance of estrogen and progesterone that your body needs in order to ensure a quality of life free from the many unpleasant and even fatal side effects of estrogen dominance.
As you now know, menopause can be a particularly unpleasant and even dangerous time for a woman. However, through a quality nutrition program, the use of an all-natural progesterone product, and a high quality vitamin and mineral supplementation program, a woman can take control of her menopausal years and look forward to the next healthy and fulfilling stage of her life!

Fitness Article - How Weather Affects Your Weight!

Did you know that there is a difference in weight between LA and
New York? If you are thin in New York good chances that you are
thought of as fat in LA! It is only about maybe 10 lbs in
difference. In New York every women you see has real curves,
there is not as a size 2 in the bunch. Yet in LA, every one of
those women from New York would start feeling fat within minutes
of stepping foot off the airplane!
One of the main factors is probably due to the weather. Yes! We
are going to blame this on the weather! There is not a time of
year, in LA that you cannot be comfortable wear a bathing suit.
What that means is, there not a time in the year that exercising
and dieting ever truly stops.
Now get this juicy fact, the more clothes you take off in LA, the
more looks you are going to get, but in New York, the more you
have on in clothing, the more looks you're going to get. It is
like a dress code that no one really knows about, but it turns
out to be true fact. All because of the changing of seasons, you
cover it up, curiosity starts happening in the minds of the men.
Here is what you need to do to be notice in LA. You must be
wearing, tight jeans, carrying this year's purse and, on your
feet, this season's shoes. Turning that around and head for New
York, its a dress that gets the looks. Why? It is because of
their weather. What you wear can covers up a multitude of sins,
meaning those extra few pounds that would make you invisible back
in LA, makes you a hot mama in New York!
Those who visit both sides of the coast feel it is healthier for
all women to visit the coast opposite of where they may live now.
It would open your eyes to the fact that not being a size 0 is
not the end of the world. Think what a field trip would be like
for teenage girls who feel they are either too fat or too thin?
How about getting them visit the opposite coast line of where
they live now? There would a change in attitude when they get to
see that its better or worse depending on where they are from.
Those in the middle of the West and East coast, well I don't know
what it is like for them but be warned not to visit Miami anytime
soon. There they don't wear anything but bikini tops and short
shorts. It has been said that a very buff size 0 from LA felt
fat, when she got off the plane in Miami.
What this really means ladies, whereever you might live; it all
boils down to this. Be happy with who you are, diet and exercise
under a doctor's supervision, and don't worry about what other
women size may be. Ask any man, they love us, no matter what size
big or small we may be.
