* Lowers cholesterol
As most men get older, cholesterol levels begin to move in the wrong direction. The level of the bad cholesterol (low-density-lipoprotein) gradually increase. Levels of good cholesterol called High-density lipoprotein tend to fall. Unfortunately, that combination of high LDL and low HDL is one of the leading risk factors for heart disease. Excess cholesterol accumulates on the inner linning of blood vessels, leading to arthrosclerosis and heart attacks. The single best way to boost good HDL cholesterol is exercise.

Women in perimenopause.
The peri-menopause is
the stage in a woman’s life when she begins the long journey into the
menopause. The menopause is also called the transition or the change of life.
The peri-menopause ,
when the production of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone
begins to decline starts from the age of forty and can last for as short as 5
years or as long as 10 years. Though the menopause is a new phase in a woman’s
life and every woman should look forward to it, the perimenopause however is something else because it comes
with a lot of symptoms that could be
both disturbing and debilitating if not
well managed.
