what is a good otc for menopsusal symptoms that supports a healthy weight?

Question

Is weight management vital to good health?

Answer 1

Please remember: That menopause is a natural event. That is how we were designed. Since the brain has been relying on hormones it has to get used to being without them. In other words, leave it alone and suffer through the symptoms until adaptation takes place.

Answer 2

Maybe, maybe not: Healthtap doctors are american physicians, so we talk in pounds and ounces. I'm guessing a stone is 14 pounds, so 12 stone 6 = 174 pounds? That might be ok, depending on whether a person is male, female, has lots of muscle, has little muscle, etc... The question of "healthiness" depends on other conditions (a person with diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, etc... Would do better being lighter).

Answer 3

Hard to say: Using simplistic formulas this is overweight by BMI, in the top15-25% of males and top 15% for females. If you were a heavily muscled weightlifter these numbers would not apply. If you are somewhat average you need to do some work.

Answer 4

See below: First, for all who don't know, 1 stone (used in parts of northern europe) is equal to 14 lbs or 6.35 kg. So 8 stone = 112 lbs. Now, for the question, it depends on your gender & height (assuming you're over age 15). You could also consider body type (high vs. Low muscle mass).

Answer 5

Ideal body weight: For a female 5' 4" tall is about 121 pounds. Normal bmi range is 18 - 25; bmi of 18 would be weight of 105 pounds; bmi of 25 would be 144 pounds; so 144 is not overweight for you. Pick the weight between 105 & 144 that feels most comfortable for you. Of course you want that to be lean weight, not adipose. So eat right & exercise.

Answer 6

Check BMI: Use a BMI calculator to know. SEE: https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/educational/lose_wt/BMI/bmicalc.htm. BMI Categories: Underweight = <18.5 * Normal weight = 18.5–24.9 * Overweight = 25–29.9 * Obesity = BMI of 30 or greater. By checking your BMI you can get an idea of whether you are in a healthy range.

Answer 7

Depends upon height: There are tables published of ideal body weight for different heights. You can look up a term called body mass index (bmi) which will determine where you fit in this spectrum. It is a good measure of obesity.

Answer 8

Absolutely yes!: Take your time and be patient with the process. Losing a lot of weight will take time and you should likely plan on a few years to accomplish it. Track your calories daily and implement a daily exercise program - target for 30 minutes per day. Use a tracking program such as www.Choosemyplate.Gov to track both and it will help you identify healthy food choices and the right caloric intake.
