Significant reduction in PMS symptoms is seen in women who exercise 5 times a week for 30 minutes at a moderate intensity. Diet can also play a role in PMS symptoms. Osteoporosis is the cause of all these fractures, and it occurs 10 times more in women than it does in men. Older women can benefit most from estrogen to control osteoporosis, and it does so by preventing the accelerated bone loss that occurs during the first years after menopause. Younger women can fight osteoporosis by getting the recommended daily amounts of calcium.
All women can benefit from any kind of exercise that tugs and pulls on bones.
