Menopause – The metabolism in transition

The hormonal change begins between the ages of 40 and 50. In this phase, progesterone levels drop and oestrogen production decreases. This also shows partially caused changes in fat and bone metabolism. Due to the decreasing energy requirement, fewer calories are gradually needed per day. In addition, the important muscle mass decreases. The muscles are gradually converted into fat. This is why many women often find it difficult to keep the weight in balance during menopause. In fact, this affects not only many women, but also men who are struggling with excess pounds at this age.
