4Weight Changes
During menopause and postmenopause, women tend to gain weight due to hormonal changes. Their waists might become bigger, while some muscle groups would lose gradually. The metabolic rate can also be slowed down, leading to the buildup of fat cells around the body. To reduce these effects, it is important to set up a workout routine and combine it with a balanced diet. This is important to prevent some common health issues in the elderly, such as diabetes, high blood pressure, as well as obesity. Some medical treatments are also possible to improve the levels of estrogens and other hormones in your body. [4]
