Did you know the loss of estrogen increases our risk of developing chronic health conditions? menopause
“With osteoporosis, what women need to understand is that our bones are constantly breaking down and rebuilding," explained Minkin. “Estrogen helps block the breakdown. When you go through menopause and lose estrogen, you have comparably more breakdown."
Menopausal women who smoke are at an even higher risk of getting osteoporosis, but Minkin said it's never too late to get the benefits of quitting. She also said we can decrease our risk by cutting down or eliminating alcohol, doing weight-bearing exercises and increasing our intake of calcium and vitamin D.. Their HDL, the good cholesterol, tends to go down, while their LDL and triglycerides can go up — all of which increase the risk for heart and blood vessel disease.
She added that heart disease generally occurs later in women than in men, illustrating the protective effect estrogen has on the heart and blood vessels.
