Exercise

Weight bearing exercise prompts the body to lay down more calcium in your bones. So it is essential for menopausal women to get adequate exercise, to help protect the body from Osteoporosis.

Just a note extreme exercise is not helpful, young athletes can develop amenorrhea, (periods stopping) as oestrogen production is put on hold.

Conversely moderate exercise will stimulate the adrenal glands to produce androstenedione which is then converted into a weak form of oestrogen, by fatty cells.

Exercise of course is also good for the heart, and makes you feel good.
