Growing older should be no excuse for stopping an exercise regime, and in fact it is more important than ever to exercise as we age.<br /><br />While taking hormone replacement therapy, getting exercise is particularly valuable; taking extra hormones such as HRT can sometimes have adverse effects. For example they may feel irritable with associated mood swings or they may feel they are gaining weight, all because of the relentless fluctuation in hormone levels. Although there is no definite research to prove taking HRT makes a woman put on weight, getting exercise can often make certain she feels better about herself.<br /><br />Our metabolism usually slows down quite significantly as we get older, which means that even if we have always been slim naturally when younger, we often find it more of a struggle as we get older. Women who have never had this problem may find adjusting their calorie intake to suit their body difficult.<br /><br />Exercising when you are taking HRT doesn't need to be strenuous. You don't have to join a gym, have the mindset of a triathlete, or get obsessive about it. All you need to do is get in a positive state of mind and tell yourself you are going to take a small amount of exercise every week or, even better, every day.<br /><br />Walking can be one of the best forms of exercise, and establishing some walking in your everyday routine lets you get a surprising level of exercise.<br /><br />Walking to work, if possible, is a good way to integrate exercise into your daily life. It's most effective if it takes at least twenty minutes, but any amount is great. If walking to work is not a good option, and you own a dog, walking the dog is not only good for you but also your dog.<br /><br />Swimming is also a high-quality exercise to do when taking hormone replacement therapy. Swimming exercises almost all of the body. You'll find your body and energy tones up quickly, if you can make do with fitting in a swimming session three times a week,<br /><br />Taking even a small amount of exercise will also help smooth out mood swings or feelings of depression you may be experiencing, since exercise releases natural feel good chemicals, endorphins, into the blood stream, that make us feel much better. Working out also lowers your risk for osteoporosis and high blood pressure, so why wait? Start this week and reap the benefits.<br /><br /><br /><br />marissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14464364671679503167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2518581832296404876.post-85063945860769613802017-08-12T00:16:00.000-07:002017-09-04T00:19:29.989-07:00Alternative Therapy For Menopause - And PerimenopauseHRT is sometimes referred to as estrogen replacement therapy (ERT), because the first medications that were used in the 1960s for female hormone replacement were estrogen compounds.<br />
<br />
Alternative therapy for menopause came about because of the concerning risks associated with HRT and ERT.<br />
<br />
Advocates assert the use of all natural treatments that are very effective and safe, especially when compared to HRT and ERT.<br />
<br />
Many women thinking about about real health matters are looking back to alternative therapy for menopause in an effort to manage menopause symptoms without compromising good health.<br />
<br />
Alternative therapy for menopause includes the use of holistic methods to remove or lower perimenopause and menopause symptoms. These include the use of proper vitamins and minerals, food and exercise, and a frequent taking of 100% natural plant based supplements to manage hot flashes, night sweats, and other popular symptoms associated with menopause and perimenopause.<br />
<br />
This requires a regular effort and vigilance to be truly effective. A complete change in attitude and possibly life-style is needed to see the best results.<br />
<br />
In this way, it requires a specific mind-set and self-confidence combined with assertiveness and follow-through. Half measures won't do.<br />
<br />
Many do take for granted that 100% natural plant derivative or herbal menopause supplements are don't have any side effects, especially dangerous ones. Dangerous poisons and toxins are also "natural," and it should not be assumed that "natural" automatically means safe.<br />
<br />
This should not infer that all natural plant-based treatments for menopause symptoms are as ineffective or present a high level of risk.<br />

Natural relief of symptoms will also be described. This article does not aim to describe all all of the physical or psychological characteristics of the menopause, these will be covered in a later article.<br /><br />Physical Symptoms Of The Menopause.<br /><br />The menopause usually affects women between the ages of 40-50 years. The menstrual cycle becomes irregular about 5-7 years before the onset of the menopause. Nearer the onset the number of cycles where ovulation does not occur increases. During the menopause the woman may experience dryness of the vagina. This can cause inflammation and an increased risk of infection. A decrease in libido is usually experienced, yet some women get an increase. Some women suffer from hypertension (high blood pressure). Hot flashes are common caused by an decrease in estrogen levels.<br /><br />Psychological Symptoms Of The Menopause.<br /><br />The psychological symptoms were, for many years, dismissed by many Doctors and Physicians. However, they have found to be real, usually connected to low estrogen levels. Symptoms can include irritability, fatigue, anxiety, and severe emotional disturbances. These can be treated and managed by the use of small amounts of estrogen<br /><br />Treatment Of The Menopause By The Use Of Pharmaceutical Drugs.<br /><br />HRT: Hormone replacement therapy.<br /><br />Estrogen: Estrogen is used to treat 'hot flashes' (sometimes called 'hot flushes') in women who are experiencing menopause. Some brands of estrogen are also used to treat vaginal dryness, itching, or burning, or to prevent osteoporosis. However, women who need a medication only to treat vaginal dryness or only to prevent osteoporosis should consider a different treatment. Side effects of estrogen include increased risk of endometrial cancer, and vaginal bleeding amongst others.<br /><br />Progestogen: Progestogen is used to regulate the effects of estrogen and are often prescribed together. In women with a uterus, the addition of a progestogen cyclically (for at least 10 days per 28-day cycle) reduces the additional risk of endometrial cancer; this additional risk is eliminated if a progestogen is given continuously. However, this should be weighed against the increased risk of breast cancer.<br /><br />Oestrogen:Oestrogen is given systemically in the perimenopausal and postmenopausal period. Menopausal atrophic vaginitis may respond to a short course of a topical vaginal oestrogen preparation. Systemic therapy with an oestrogen or drugs with oestrogenic properties alleviates the symptoms of oestrogen deficiency such as vasomotor symptoms.<br /><br />Tibolone: Tibolone given in the postmenopausal period also diminish postmenopausal osteoporosis. Tibolone combines oestrogenic and progestogenic effect and it is given continuously, without cyclical progestogen. Tibolone increases the risk of breast cancer.<br /><br />Clonidine: Clonidine may be used to reduce vasomotor symptoms in women who cannot take an oestrogen, but clonidine may cause unacceptable side-effects.<br /><br />Possible Side Effects Of Hormone Replacement Therapy<br /><br />HRT increases the risk of venous thromboembolism, stroke, endometrial cancer ( which may be reduced by a progestogen), breast cancer, and ovarian cancer. Women who start combined HRT more than 10 years after menopause have an increased risk of heart disease. Women using combined or oestrogen-only HRT are at an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis (commonly DVT) and of pulmonary embolism especially in the first year of use. An oestrogen may be given by mouth or it may be given by subcutaneous or transdermal administration (patch). In women who have a personal or family history of deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism, severe varicose veins, obesity, the use of HRT needs to be given careful consideration.<br /><br />Like all drugs, HRT has side effects yet has helped many women through the 'change' (menopause).<br /><br />Treatment Of The Menopause By The Use Of Natural Means.<br /><br />Agnus Castus: Vitex agnus-castus. Clinical studies have shown that these berries work on the pituitary gland and help stabilise hormone fluctuations so helping menopausal symptoms..<br /><br />Black Cohosh: Cimicifuga racemosa. The primary use of black cohosh extract is for alleviation of menopausal symptoms. It has been widely researched, especially in Europe, for its ability to alleviate the symptoms associated with menopause. While black cohosh is generally considered safe, people with liver disease or a family history of liver disease should consult their physician before taking black cohosh.<br /><br />Damaiana: Turnerna diffusa. This shrub historically been used as an aphrodisiac and has been claimed to induce euphoria.<br /><br />Dang Gui: Angelica sinensis. Dang gui acts as a phytoestrogen and has similar, but milder, effects of oestrogen. Dang gui also helps support the cardiovascular system, which can of help to menopausal women suffering hypertension (high blood pressure).<br /><br />Soy: Soy contains natural plant estrogens called phytoestrogens. These are weaker than human estrogens However, studies show they behave similarly in the human body. In the body, phytoestrogens help balance a woman's estrogen level.<br /><br />Vitamin E: Vitamin E is an antioxidant. Studies have been done that suggest it may help relieve hot flashes and postmenopausal vaginal dryness and it has been popular for that purpose ever since.<br /><br />There are other natural remedies said to help women experiencing the menopause.<br /><br /><br />marissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14464364671679503167noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2518581832296404876.post-83848056504856842362017-07-08T00:09:00.000-07:002017-09-04T00:10:45.361-07:00Information on the Menopause Treatment OptionsMenopause will affect all women at some point in their lives.

Here we will discuss the process and treatment option, dealing with symptoms, the effects, impact, and consequences of menopause, and taking estrogen either alone or in combination with progesterone.<br /><br />Some of the common symptoms on menopause include: hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and an inability to sleep. Estrogen is the generally recommended treatment for treatment of these symptoms. Taking this drug can help menopause sufferers achieve a much better quality of life while going through 'the change'. It is important however to remember that this is a natural process of aging and not a disease that simply must be treated. There are however, preventative therapies and products that help manage some of the more severe symptoms while protecting the body from the bone loss that sometimes occurs as a result of the lack of estrogen after menopause.<br /><br />Quick facts about HRT and Menopause<br /><br />The symptoms of menopause are actually the 'coping mechanism' that your body creates in order to deal with the hormonal and chemical changes taking place.<br /><br />1) Estrogen use whether with or without progesterone serves to double the estrogen levels of menopausal women.<br /><br />2) While hormone treatments are effective, they rarely return the levels to those of pre menopausal women. They are not designed to completely replace original hormone levels.<br /><br />The hormone use is actually intended to ease the discomfort of some of the symptoms that are often associated with menopause such as vaginal dryness, hot flashes, night sweats, and the inability to sleep. These same hormones are also used to prevent certain medical conditions and diseases that are common for postmenopausal women. These diseases include: heart disease, osteoporosis, and some cancers.<br /><br />There is a great deal of ongoing research concerning menopause, dealing effectively with the symptoms of menopause, HRT, and alternative therapies. These studies include clinical trials as well as in depth and wide ranging observational studies. Participants of these studies are sometimes given placebos instead of the hormones they think they are receiving and studied over time to see how they react to the hormones, if their symptoms subside, and to see if other diseases or conditions arise consistently. Typically there are no intervention only comparisons between those who take the hormones and those who do not.<br /><br />Many of these studies concluded that the long-term health risks of HRT far outweighed the short-term benefits. If you are considering this type of treatment it is vitally important that you seriously discuss with your doctor whether or not this is the right treatment option for you, what the risks are, and if there are other options available to you that might be just as effective without the high risks. Some of the risks include risks of breast cancer, heart disease, stroke, and blood clots. On the other hand there were fewer hip fractures and instances of colon cancer among HRT patients so there are some benefits as well.<br /><br />Eclectic sampling of findings<br /><br />1) Women over the age of 65 using estrogen and progestin had double risks of developing dementia as well as a negative impact on cognitive function.<br /><br />2) Women aged 50-79 experienced no significant change in vitality, mental health, general health, or sexual satisfaction as the result of using estrogen plus progestin.<br /><br />3) The use of estrogen alone presents even less clear and conclusive results. As a result of the lack of clarity, studies and trials are ongoing.<br /><br />4) There are indications that hormone replacement therapy increases not only the risk of cancer of the lining of the uterus but also endometrial cancer, and bleeding of the uterine. These side effects lead to the more frequent biopsies and ultrasounds for women who underwent HRT than those using placebos.<br /><br />5) Increased risk of breast cancer.<br /><br />6) HRT is a very effective treatment for the short-term symptoms of menopause.<br /><br />7) Gal bladder disease and strokes are also more common among patients receiving HRT type treatment.<br /><br />Ultimately, the choice of whether or not the short-term benefits are worth the long-term risks associated with HRT is yours. Regardless of what you decide, it is always a good idea to run your thoughts and concerns by your doctor and listen to the advice and caution he provides.<br />marissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14464364671679503167noreply@blogger.com0
