The Menopausal Stage
When a woman reaches the age between 45 and 60, expect the natural occurence of aging, end of menstrual flow, and stopping of production of estrogens. But did you know that women reaching the menopausal stage are at risk of getting osteoporosis and heart disease?
In this stage, women are more likely to suffer from osteoporosis or the thinning of the bones. This rapid change occurs due to the loss of estrogen in the body. Other factors that increase the risk of this illness are vices, such as cigarette smoking, family history, slim body built and race (Caucasian or Asian).
