“Adults with lower levels of vitamin D had more depressive symptoms. Further, adults with depression had significantly lower intake of vitamin D than adults without depression.”
In addition, higher serum vitamin D levels were connected to improved physical functioning.
Higher vitamin D levels linked to improved mental health CHICAGO — Vitamin D levels may be associated with mental health — particularly, depressive symptoms, according to research presented at the annual NUTRITION meeting.“We know that vitamin D is an essential nutrient for the body,” Jacqueline A.

...our 80- and 90-year-old patients were in their 20s and 30s in the 1960s. You can bet some of them were pretty groovy! A Swedish study of septuagenarians revealed a shift in s*xual attitudes: from 5% of 70-year-old women in the 1970s citing s*x as a positive aspect of life, to 78% in 2000.
82% of 97-year-old female participants felt that being asked about their s*xuality in healthcare settings was positive.
'Where Have My Or***ms Gone?' S*x Medicine and Older Women Satisfying s*xual engagement can be important for the general well-being and overall health of older women.
HRT is the most effective treatment for menopausal symptoms, including hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, vaginal dryness, heart palpitations, joint pain, and loss of s*xual desire—symptoms that can last an average of seven years.
There is no current way to prevent or reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia—except estrogen.
Seven times as many women die of heart disease as die of breast cancer annually, and HRT can decrease that risk by 30 to 50 percent. After age 50, a woman’s risk of dying of heart disease is much greater than her risk of dying of breast cancer.
As many women die annually following osteoporotic hip fracture as die of breast cancer, and HRT can cut this risk in half.
Women taking HRT live, on average, three to four years longer than those not taking it.
There is no evidence to support the current medical advice to take HRT at the lowest dose for the shortest period of time.
Most studies have found that estrogen does not increase the risk of breast cancer, and it can often be given safely even to women who have had breast cancer.

Redefining can be very healthy
Redefine what "real s*x" is! - Joan Price What is "real s*x"? Is s*x a goal (doing it in a certain way) or do you view s*x as pleasure? As we age, our definition might change.
The early 1990s, researchers had 50 years of evidence of estrogen’s benefits, all of it well documented in the medical literature. Estrogen not only successfully controls menopausal symptoms, in most women, but also significantly reduces the risk of heart disease, hip fractures, colon cancer, and Alzheimer’s. A 1991 editorial about post menopausal estrogen, Stated this is time for action, not debate. It reported a 40 to 50% reduction in heart disease, which was responsible for the deaths of more than eight times as many women as breast cancer. A US C study reported a 35% decrease in the risk of Alzheimer’s. Among women with no history of breast cancer, studies found that estrogen did not increase the risk of developing it, even among women who had been taking estrogen for 10 to 15 years.

Mr Boo also admitted that the EHRC’s own official guidance, in place for almost a decade, had been wrong to tell teachers that they would automatically be guilty of anti-trans discrimination if they referred to a “previously female pupil” as a girl. He said the regulator was urgently correcting “inaccuracies” in its “technical guidance” on the application of the Equality Act in schools."

"This is such an important book, I want to do all I can to encourage every woman to read it. Groundbreaking and carefully researched, Estrogen Matters provides essential information about the many benefits of estrogen at menopause and even after a diagnosis of breast cancer. It reveals the misinterpretation of study results that led women (and their doctors) to have unwarranted concerns about estrogen use. The thoughtful information presented here will help women feel more comfortable taking estrogen, leading to healthier, longer lives for many." - Patricia T. Kelly, PhD,

"Clinical studies show that testosterone therapy reduces the risk of breast cancer by 50 to 75 percent and relieves virtually all symptoms of menopause with no adverse effects.
You read that correctly. The benefits of implementing testosterone into hormone replacement therapy are virtually unprecedented, and yet the larger medical community continues to ignore the facts."

A small, recent study seems to show that women in menopause may become sedentary as a side effect of reduced estrogen levels. When estrogen levels are raised, normal activity levels seem to resume. Exercise and activity is one of the leading predictors of longer life.
