Because of the low level of estrogen in the post-menopausal period, women have high blood pressure and leg muscles. It is known that training in the gym helps to eliminate the effects of menopause. But not all women have time to train. Scientists have found an easy way to replace the gym. You just have to go up and down the stairs several times a day.

The researchers asked a group of women with menopause at least 4 times a week and up to 5 times a day to climb 192 steps. The study lasted for 12 weeks. During this time, participants significantly decreased blood pressure. In addition, they have strengthened their leg muscles.

Experts hope that their work will be of interest to many women who for one reason or another can not attend classes in the gym.

Earlier, scientists found a connection between the weight of women and the time of onset of menopause. Employees of the University of Massachusetts analyzed the data of 759 women aged 25 to 42 years.

Experts have estimated the Body Mass Index (BMI) of participants. Women were followed from 1989 to 2011.

Researchers have established: among participants who had too low weight in adolescence or middle age, menopause often came early. Nearly 3,000 women who weighed too little in a certain period of their lives were confronted with premature menopause. Participants who did not have such problems with weight, menopause came on time (at 45-55 years).
