In life, I often meet such a woman, who is still a slender, slender and beautiful woman in her thirties, but has a bloated body after entering menopause. Most people only exceed the standard weight to varying degrees, but do not meet the standard for obesity; And a small number of people find pathological obesity due to excessive weight gain. Obesity is one of the defining features of menopausal symptoms, and there are many reasons for this.So, why are women prone to gaining weight during menopause?

1. Hormonal disorders

Ovarian function declines, and sex hormone secretion is disordered. This condition not only causes obesity, but also increases the risk of abnormal endometrial hyperplasia.

2. Substitution reduction

With the advent of menopause, most tissue cells in the human body begin to gradually age, and the regeneration rate decreases or no longer regenerates, so the basal metabolism decreases and the energy required decreases.

3. Lack of training

The intensity of physical work and daily activities is decreasing, and caloric expenditure is decreasing. Lack of exercise in life reduces the consumption of calories and makes ends meet, resulting in the accumulation of fat and becoming rich.

4. Overnutrition

Poor diet and overnutrition. Due to the improvement of people's living standards, coupled with the lack of dietary control, excessive food intake, especially excessive consumption of high-fat foods, is also one of the causes of obesity.

Coping with menopausal obesity:

1. Adjust your mentality

To correctly understand the causes of menopausal obesity, we should not be too nervous, but we should not mistakenly think that menopausal obesity is "fortune", and we should take a proactive approach to prevent obesity and maintain good health.

2. Food and beverage control

In life, the diet should be reasonable and the nutrition should be appropriate. When entering menopause and the body has a tendency to gain weight, you should appropriately limit the intake of high-protein, high-fat, and high-calorie foods, and eat more fresh vegetables, whole grains, lean meat, soy products, etc.

3. Strengthen exercise

It is necessary to strengthen sports, such as swimming, medium-speed cycling, jogging, brisk walking, taijiquan, dancing, etc., as long as you stick to it every day, it is not only conducive to improving the physiological changes of menopause, but also preventing menopausal obesity.
