General Information On Menopause And Slow Metabolism

By Daphne Bowen


Most women who make it to a certain age in life will experience menopause. This is the term used in medicine to describe the period of time that follows the last menstrual cycle of a women. It occurs in most women when they are between the ages of 40 and 50 years old. The exact age of onset will differ by individuals, but there are signs to look for. Menopause and slow metabolism usually come together. Most women will gain some amount of weight during this period in life because of the changes in metabolism and the other symptoms of this condition.

This process is natural and biological. It is expected to happen in healthy women. The experience will vary by person. Still, there are signs that indicate this stage in life and not all of them are favorable.

Menopause is a marker of the end of the fertile period in a woman. Still, a person can be healthy, sexual and vital in years that follow. Some people accept this period in time with ease because it is a time free of pregnancy concerns and a monthly period.

Not all of these symptoms will be good. Many will struggle with hot flashes, emotional problems and a host of other physical issues because of this. It might also be difficult for them to manage their mental health, as many report feelings of loss, anxiety and sadness during this time.

Women are expected to respond in different ways to this bodily process. Most will go through a stage known as perimenopause. This refers tot the time, be it months or years, leading up to the onset of menopause. Symptoms and signs associated with these stages of life: irregular periods, difficulty sleeping, weight gain, thinning hair, loss of fullness in the breast, dry skin, night sweats, vaginal dryness, hot flashes, slow metabolism and mood changes. Many experience more than one of these symptoms.

A sluggish metabolism can impact a person in a number of ways. Metabolism refers to a process in which the body converts that which is consumed into energy. Even when a person is resting, the body requires energy in order to repair cells, circulate blood and breathe. The amount of calories the body utilizes for normal functions is considered basal metabolic rate. Things that may impact the rate: body composition and size, age, and sex.

Women who are menopausal may notice that they have more difficulty gaining weight than losing it. They may notice that despite their frequent and hard exercise routines, they do not lose weight. The pounds might pack on in unfamiliar areas, often the midsection, and despite the amount of calories that are consumed. Women tend to have cracked skin, dry hair, sugar cravings and cellulite when their metabolism is slow.

People going through this stage should work with their doctors. Preventative care is important and includes colonoscopy, thyroid tests, mammography, breast exams and pelvic exams. It is recommended that women take supplements or otherwise ensure that they have the minerals and vitamins necessary to reduce the weight gain and other symptoms associated with this condition. A balanced diet, management of stress and regular exercise might also help.
