Aerobics may ease menopause symptoms: study
In a small study on Finnish women who had recently entered menopause, those who stuck to an aerobic exercise programme for six months were less likely to report menopause symptoms like night sweats, hot flashes, mood swings and irritability than women who did not exercise.
The study's authors say their results suggest exercise could serve as an alternative to hormone replacement therapy for quelling bothersome menopause symptoms.
