Walk for 45 minutes a day …
Reuters report on a Canadian study that found
“Walking for 45 minutes a few times a week may help women in the “battle of the bulge” that often accompanies menopause, and at the same time improve overall well being”
The study compared two groups of women: perimenopausal and post menopausal over a 16 weeks predio walking 45 minues a day every second day. They found that
“Greater weight loss was achieved by the premenopausal women who lost an average of about 4.4 pounds compared to 1.5 pounds for the postmenopausal women. They also tended to lose more fat mass. Postmenopausal women, however, tended to benefit with a larger drop in their waist size and from gains in lean body mass”
It apparently also improved their sense of well-being.
