Sssshhh Let's Talk NI

Thanks everyone for your attendence and support yesterday at the event. Hope it was beneficial and helpful for everyone. Thanks to and for bringing their knowledge and expertise.

Some women will experience weight gain during or after menopause. During the menopause, the change in hormones can mean the body stores more fat and burns calories less efficiently. Hormonal changes of menopause might make you more likely to gain weight around your abdomen than around your hips and thighs. HRT can help with this but activity and exercise are the best way to increase your body's ability to burn calories.

Relate anyone?
