Study Shows Exercise Reduces Hot Flashes and Menopause Symptoms

GLENDALE, Calif. - Nov. 4, 2013 - PRLog -- Exercise may be one of the most effective ways to reduce both hot flashes as well as heart trouble in menopausal women.  From a recent issue of the Annals of Behavioral Medicine comes a study from kinesiologist Steriani Elavsky.  Kinesiology is the study of human movement and motion.  The study included 164 menopausal women in their 50’s who were experiencing hot flashes and insomnia and who were somewhat non-active.  They were put into three different groups – walkers, yoga-doers and sedentary non-exercisers, and were studied for four months.

The women who walked regularly or took yoga classes reported their stress and tension were reduced, as well as having betterment in their quality of life.  Women who walked derived the most benefit in terms of menopause symptom improvements, but yoga was also beneficial.

Elavsky concluded: "We found a significant association between changes in cardiorespiratory (heart and lung) fitness and changes in menopausal symptoms.  Women who experienced decreases in menopausal symptoms in the study also experienced improvements in all positive mental health and quality-of-life outcomes."
