Now we're going to talk about
 When
I started this website almost 16 years ago, there wasn't much about menopause
on the internet and I spent most of my time trying to help women navigate
through the early signs of "the change", from the first missed period to
the very last period they would ever have!
There is so much more information available now that women have been able to find the answers they need by simply touching their keyboard or opening a book. What I'm finding now is that many women don't really know what comes AFTER the PAUSE! So I figured it was time for "Minnie" to show them that there IS life after menopause! :) In this section of the website
we'll talk about the kind of things we deal with after the hot flashes
are over. We've managed to feel back in control of our lives and now most
of the symptoms we deal with have nothing to do with menopause, but a lot
to do with the aging process. I'm not saying it's all going to be great
and certainly nothing will go back to what it was, so be ready to hear
some information that you're not going to like. My best advice, just like
with menopause, is to keep your sense of humor handy! You'll need it!
 DO YOU HATE THE WORD....SENIOR? It's never really bothered me, but we really DO need a word to identify our status, so I've finally figured it out. We're BOOMIORS!! Just pronounce it like Juniors or Seniors. Of course if you plan on using your AARP card for discounts, you'll have to claim to be a Senior, but you'll know in your heart that you're not there yet! LOL I want you to contribute to
this section so that those who are asking "how long does this last",
" when will I feel like ME again" and "when is it over?",
will get a clearer picture of life after menopause.
I will be sharing some comments I found on the internet about "after the pause"..... Send me your thoughts about this stage of life so I can share them.... "Women are now free to enjoy their changing bodies, and can live an abundant and joyful life. There is life after menopause, and you may find it far more exciting than you thought possible!"

A New Way to Lower Blood Pressure Cut back on sugar-sweetened drinks. A study from Louisiana State University Health Science Center School of Public Health found that reducing daily intake of sweetened beverages may lower blood pressure enough to decrease deaths from stroke by eight percent and from coronary heart disease by five percent. The trick is to eliminate an average of two servings a day of soft drinks, fruit drinks, lemonade and fruit punch drinks sweetened with sugar or high-fructose corn syrup. The study included 810 adults age 25 to 79 who had been diagnosed with high blood pressure or prehypertension. Read more...
For those of us dealing with the dreaded "belly fat", this article has some good info for post menopause, as well as menopause. Please be aware that if you don't do something about this now, you will very likely end up with diabetes.....it has happened to me and now I'm hoping to reverse the condition with diet, exercise and medication. I walk a mile a day, I'm eating a very low carb diet and am now taking Metformin. I've lost 21 lbs in the last 3 mo., but still want to lose another 20-30 lbs. Here's a good article for "Fitness after 50". Take action now! Dee |
