"red Hot" Ways To Warm Up To Life's Changes

Menopause affects nearly 40 million women in the United States and, while it is a natural time of physical and emotional change, it can also be a time of confusion and worry.

The Red Hot Mamas, America's leading menopause education program, is encouraging women to warm up to menopause by understanding what menopause is and how it can affect the body.

Hot flashes and night sweats may be the most common symptoms of menopause. However, perimenopausal and menopausal women can also experience symptoms such as mood swings and trouble sleeping. In fact, a recently published survey (n = 485) by the Red Hot Mamas found that 90 percent of menopausal women questioned noticed a change in their quality of sleep or sleep patterns.

Karen Giblin, founder of the Red Hot Mamas, says, "Women should keep a positive attitude as they experience the menopausal process. By proactively dealing with it and discussing concerns with their physicians, women can take charge of their menopause before it takes charge of them."
