Menopause is good for the heart, hot flashes reduce the risk of heart attack

Hot flashes of menopause are one of the great bogeymen of women. When we begin to feel unduly hot, when your back goes up in flames and we would not want anything but throw in a tub of ice water, unfortunately there is little you can do: our fertile period is over! Female sexuality is expressed through a thousand demonstrations, but what we did not know was that those famous and troublesome hot flashes protect the hearts of women from the risk of heart attack.

So, are you still agree that you do not need anything at all? A recent study conducted by researchers at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago n collaboration with the Harvard Medical School and published in Menopause has shown that postmenopausal women suffering from hot flashes and night sweats are at lower risk of cardiovascular disease, stroke and therefore death.

The much demonized flushing copiscono about three out of four women to show all the irritability of this sensitive period of life. "While they are certainly annoying, hot flashes are not considered entirely negative - says Emily Szmuilowicz endocrinologist, author of the study -. Our research found that, although previous studies suggest that menopausal symptoms are associated with increased risk marker for heart disease, such as blood pressure and cholesterol, actual results tell a different story.

" Monitoring for 10 years, the health conditions of 60 thousand women, the study collected data from which showed that women who experienced hot flashes at the beginning of menopause have been subject to fewer cardiovascular events compared with women who have experienced hot flashes in menopause late, or who have not tried at all.

If you are among those who had decided to experiment with HRT to prevent heart attacks and hot, think again. Apparently, hot flashes are annoying, they make us feel out of place and always hot, but are good for our hearts. The female body is a continuous discovery for science and has not said that in future we are able to overcome the barriers that now seem impossible.

Flushing, after all, are really the last of the concerns of menopause, and now that we know we do well, bear with more patience. Let us arm ourselves with a beautiful fan, chic and frivolous, and we will fight the sudden heat waves with style and a smile.
