Why are bone and heart health an issue after menopause?
For most post-menopausal women, the visible symptoms of menopause such as hot flushes and night sweats will ease. However, there are the invisible effects of menopause which remain.
Up until menopause, as well as regulating the reproductive cycle, oestrogen has also assisted the body in maintaining a healthy heart and strong bones. However, after menopause, lower oestrogen levels decrease the ability to absorb calcium1 and heart health is more difficult to maintain2.
So, in the years after menopause it is important for women to take an active role in maintaining bone and heart health. Exercise and diet can play a significant role and Promensil Vitality can help as a natural dietary supplement to assist in the prevention and treatment of osteoporosis and maintaining heart health.
