Have you ever wondered what a sandwich sounds like?

Not much to it, is there?

Unless, of course, it's a Walker's sandwich.

Mmm, that is good.

Now that's what Asani should sound like.

Hey everyone, welcome back to another mini episode of Ask Dr. Hazel in these short five-minute

episodes I answer questions submitted by you.

Hi, Hazel. My mum's going through the menopause at the moment and I really want to support

her to stay active. What are the best forms of exercise for her at this stage in life?

She loves swimming, but that's about all she does. Thank you. Thank you so much for your question.

Unfortunately, there is little guidance for women when it comes to staying active during the perimenopause,

the menopause and beyond. However, staying active during this time of your

life or your mum's life is so important, not only for the usual benefits that exercise provides,

but also for the additional menopause-related reasons. So it can improve symptoms and it can also

help to improve bone health and heart health, just to name a few, and that's

particularly important during this time. So, first of all, it's never too late to start, and any

amount of exercise is better than no exercise at all. Your mum is already swimming, which is great,

as this is a form of aerobic exercise or cardio,

which is really important to help strengthen the heart muscle and maintain the health of blood vessels.

It can also improve blood cholesterol levels, blood glucose and blood pressure.
