A very common symptom experienced by menopausal women is hot flushes. This can often have an impact on one’s day to day life in many ways. The important thing to remember is that there are many things that can be done to naturally minimise these, one of these is a healthier lifestyle. More specifically, exercise is thought to play a major part in alleviating these symptoms, as this can have a positive impact on both the physical and mental issues associated with the menopause.
It is thought the severity of the hot flushes may be due to an imbalance in the adrenal glands (situated just above your kidneys), which produce the neurotransmitters adrenaline and noradrenaline and the hormones cortisol and DHEA. These glands are responsible for balancing all the other hormones in the body, namely estrogen and progesterone that are involved in the menopause.
