Physical and emotional padding during menopause
My heart goes out to women like Yasmin Le Bon who says that her menopause has left her with a layer of padding all over her body and affected her memory. Women are often taken by surprise, and not in a good way, by the often-debilitating symptoms of menopause. Fat around the middle, brain fog, mood swings, aching to the point of feeling old prematurely, and experiencing uncharacteristic anxiety, as well as the hot flushes and night sweats are hard to live with; but it must be particularly devastating for a woman who was once the highest paid supermodel in the world. There is an overwhelming consensus among many women that menopause signals the end of life as they knew it.

Pelvic Floor – Use it or Lose It
Millions of women suffer problems as a result of weak pelvic floor muscles. It’s thought that one in four women will suffer with pelvic floor disorders and this is magnified at the menopause and beyond. Having a strong pelvic floor can serve us well, but equally if you don’t use it over the years you will lose it. And, to their detriment, so many women do. The pelvic floor refers to the muscles, ligaments, nerves and connective tissue that support the bladder as well as the vagina, uterus and rectum, helping to keep these organs functioning normally. In our youth, unless we studied anatomy and physiology, we probably weren’t even aware that we had pelvic floor muscles!
