The Waste of a Waistline



Waistlines are wasted on the young. After menopause, that teensy little waist just disappears. I feel like I used to have a hour glass figure, now it just looks like a water glass - straight up and down.

Menopause brings many changes, and one of the most frustrating is what happens to our figures. There was a great segment on CBS News about this the other night, and ways you can address the, um, thickening that happens during menopause. Yes, that would entail exercise, but dancing the night away does look enticing. Perhaps exercise isn't so bad in the Dancing with the Stars age, huh?

Hormone Imbalance Not Just For a Few

Came across this article Hormone Imbalance is Not Just for Middle Aged Women and Teenagers in Natural News today, and was quite impressed. It speaks to the fact that many environmental stresses and dietary choices can impact our hormone health. It also touches on issue affecting many women - adrenal fatigue.

Glad to know there are some insightful reporters out there covering menopause and other hormonal issues.
