The years leading up to and transitioning through menopause are typically burdened with significant weight gain.  Women can gain 1 to 5 pounds per year during the middle years alone.   There is great debate as to why and how this weight gain occurs.  According to the data from the Study of Women’s Health Across the Nation (SWAN) initial age, initial body size or ethnicity all are affected in basically the same way, therefore researchers are trying to find the best way to fight menopausal weight gain for all women.

We do know that hormone levels fluctuate as menopause approaches.  Ovarian estrogen levels decline and therefore a women’s fat cells take over producing estrogen.  To  compensate for the lower ovarian estrogen women will gain fat to help balance this deficit.  During menopause there are also periods when testosterone dominates over estrogen producing a more male-like hormonal situation.  Since men tend to gain weight along the waistline it has been suggested testosterone may influence the redistribution of fat, (belly) during menopause.

As women age, if they exercise less, they lose muscle.  Muscle is metabolically active and requires calories for maintenance.  With the loss of muscle caloric intake should decline.  Women who exercise less and eat the same amount of calories year after year will ultimately gain weight.

So what can women do?
1. Exercise regularly including resistance training to build and maintain muscle and aerobic activity to burn calories.
2. Eat a well balanced, nutrient rich diet, including lots of vegetables, whole grains and lean proteins.

If you struggle with menopausal weight gain or have any questions regarding your fitness needs, come see us at the Fitness Department where we will help design a program specifically for you and prevent menopausal weight gain!
