Ross also noted that staying physically active regularly can make a significant difference in how a person feels throughout perimenopause.
“Regular exercise improves metabolism, breathing, energy, and emotional stability. Exercise makes you feel more confident and helps ease the stress of perimenopausal symptoms. It strengthens your heart and improves your sleep patterns,” she explained.
Conversely, “lack of exercise not only puts you at risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, and other chronic health problems, it also leads to weight gain, obesity, fatigue, insomnia, and depression, all of which worsen the transition into perimenopause,” Ross said.
“Exercising as little as 30 minutes, 3 days a week can show immediate health benefits,” she advised.
