WHY THIS HAPPENS
|
The female hormone Estrogen is involved in:
1. cardioprotection from cholesterole problems 2. anti-ageing 3. libido and vaginal moistness 4. breast tissue health 5. bone strength 6. mood |
|
At menopause, the ovaries stop producing the main female hormone estrogen and all the protection is gone.
Hormone replacement (HRT) when started early continues all the benefits of estrogen. The bad publicity of HRT is from studies where HRT is started way too late 15 years after menopause!! |
why women die |
1. heart disease
2. breast cancer 3. lung cancer 4. cervical cancer 5. bone fractures |
