FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda TUESDAY, July 3 (HealthDay News) — For women experiencing
menopausal hot flashes, a new study may offer a helpful preventive
approach. The researchers found that most women who exercised had fewer
hot flashes for 24 hours afterwards.
“For women with mild to moderate hot flashes, there is no reason to
avoid physical activity for the fear of making symptoms worse,” study
co-author Steriani Elavsky, assistant professor of kinesiology at
Pennsylvania State University, said in a university news release.
“In fact, physical activity may be helpful, and is certainly the best
way to maximize health as women age,” Elavsky added. “Becoming and staying
active on a regular basis as part of your lifestyle is the best way to
ensure healthy aging and well being, regardless of whether you experience
hot flashes or not.”
For the study, the researchers followed 92 menopausal women — all with
mild or moderate hot flash symptoms — for 15 days. The women were
recruited for a study of physical activity, not menopausal symptoms.
The participants, aged 40 to 59, weren’t taking hormones. The women
wore accelerometers that measured their physical activity, and also wore
devices that measured the moisture of their skin and kept track of their
hot flashes.
Some people might assume that physical activity increases hot flashes
because the body gets hotter, Elavsky suggested in the news release. But
the study didn’t find that was true.
Not everyone received the same benefit from exercise, the investigators
found. The effect was smallest in women who were overweight, less fit, had
more hot flashes, or had more intense ones.
The researchers also pointed out that they don’t know if hot flashes
would become less common if women lost weight and became more fit.
The study was released online June 25 in advance of publication in an
upcoming print issue of the journal Menopause.
