Women’s Health – Birthdays Don’t Add-Up, Hormonal Milestones Do

A hot area of research is body composition, the proportions of fat, muscle, and bone that make up total body weight.


Women live longer than men for a multitude of reasons – which means not only women to save 20% more to live off, biological, behavioral, social, psychological. However, these days, chronological age is only a tiny piece of the story. Thanks to the new advancement study of women medicine better nutrition, more physical activity, and a decline in smoking, the rate of disabilities among seniors has dropped dramatically. There are many peri-menopausal or menopausal women are running marathons or climbing mountains at 50-plus. I’m excited about life and look forward to the adventures I desire to do at age 50.

To take a groundbreaking view of female health, we must take our Quest-for-Life a step further. Instead of fixating on age to determine what considered the “Normal-Average” activity for a 43-year old woman, let’s consider speaking in terms of Milestones. Let’s consider our health and body’s physical fitness during each Hormonal Milestones:

• Milestone 1: Menstruation to First Pregnancy

• Milestone 2: The Reproductive Years

• Milestone 3: Peri-menopause

• Milestone 4: Beyond Menopause

Each of the Milestone represents a significant shift in our hormonal makeup and have a significant implication for our health. An example to consider would be in the first Milestone, the surge of estrogen and other female hormones affect our hearts, our bones, our fat storage, our trouble-spot areas and our emotions.
