Are you tired of having perimenopause symptoms? Or maybe you’re just tired, and that’s not uncommon for women approaching menopause. Exercise can help with both your symptoms and your overall energy and wellbeing.
From mood swings, to night sweats and hot flashes, perimenopause symptoms aren’t a walk in the park. But walking in the park might help. An article in the Huffington Post broke the disappointing news that a recent study found that exercise does not, in fact, reduce hot flashes, contrary to what former research on the subject may have indicated.
What the study, published in the journal Menopause, did indicate is that women who exercise experienced improvement in sleep and overall feelings of well being. Considering that sleep disturbances are one of the common perimenopause symptoms, this is good news.
Sleep and exercise both promote healthy hormone levels, especially when it comes to regulating stress hormones. Dr. Christiane Northrup agrees that stress hormones contribute to perimenopause symptoms.
Dr. Marina Rose,DC uses chiropractic care and a Functional Nutrition approach to help women balance their stress hormones and eliminate perimenopause symptoms in and around the city of San Jose, CA. The best tool for evaluating hormone issues is a saliva test that measures cortisol as well as your hormone precursors.
