Prevent weight gain during menopause

Be proactive

Weight loss during menopause can be tough. And studies have shown that menopausal women are very likely to gain weight.

But, that doesn't mean all hope is lost! Even though you probably will put on a bit of extra weight, there are still a few things you can do to prevent even more weight from piling on.

Being proactive during this time is one of the best things you can do.

Here are two simple ways to prevent extra weight...

1. Eat healthier. This is a superb time to experiment with healthy cooking. Use this opportunity to learn new recipes and share your tasty food creations with family and friends.

2. Get active. Exercising will help boost your mood and blast calories, so use this time to take up a new hobby. Start a walking group, take up a new sport, join the gym or a yoga studio, or buy a fun workout DVD.
