How Heart Issues Increase During Menopause
The rise of heart issues during menopause and what to be mindful of.
Women are the heart of the family.
I remember my father and uncles repeatedly saying this throughout my childhood. We love deeply, we care intensely, and we make sure everyone in the family unit has everything they need, from emotional support to boundaries about food choices for dinner.
Women being the heart of the family meant they were the rock, the foundation.
They’re the ones who keep everything going the way the heart does for the body. And while women are the heart of the family, I thought that women wouldn’t be prone to physical heart issues. It seemed that only men dealt with health problems like bad cholesterol, high blood pressure, and heart disease.
Heart disease amongst women has never really been advertised as something to watch out for unless you were obese or had a severe medical condition. So, I was completely stunned to realize that the older women become, the more they are susceptible to heart issues.
