[Menopause and physical activity]

Abstract

Menopause is another stage in a woman's life. For this reason, none of us should live it as a disease, since it is not. This stage brings with it a series of physical and emotional changes which, if one does not bear these in mind, can lead to alterations in one's daily lifestyle. Among these possible alterations is the loss of bone mass and, in order to prevent this, it is essential to perform physical exercise. This article deals with the importance of physical exercise and correct posture as factors to maintain bone structure in its best possible condition in women undergoing menopause.
