Hormonal exercise helps overcome pre-menstrual-syndrome

EXERCISE YOUR BONES - Your bones are constantly remodeled throughout life under the duel influence of hormones, and the stresses placed on them by weight-bearing activity. Bone is like a living honeycomb. Each day it sheds millions of worn out bits of the structure. In order to make replacements to maintain structural integrity, your muscles have to contract sufficiently hard to stress each junction point of the bone honeycomb. The stress triggers an electrochemical "spark" which sets in motion complex chemistry of oestrogen (and progesterone) to model new bone. This chemistry creates a synergy of the minerals calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, fluoride, silica, and boron, plus vitamin D5.

MUSCLE IS YOUR ENGINE - Much of the current epidemic of osteoporosis in Western Society, occurs because of the decline in weight-bearing, work. With labor-saving everything, our habitual activity no longer maintains sufficient muscle mass to effectively stimulate bone growth. And if we have insufficient muscle to maintain bone, you can bet your boots we have insufficient to perform the muscular activities that maintain the hormone cascade.

Between ages 20 and 40 the average woman loses 8lbs of muscle and gains23lbs of fat.

EXERCISE FOR BRAINS - The dopamine receptors in the striatal cortex decline with usual aging with consequent decline of memory, cognition and the whole hormone cascade. Aerobic fitness can slow that decline.

ECSTATIC EXERCISE - Another link between exercise and hormonal health is the effect of exercise on emotions. The incidence of depression rises sharply in women at perimenopause and thereafter.

As the hormone cascade declines, regular exercise provides a non-toxic, treatment that is far more successful than any man-made medications.

STARTING TO EXERCISE - First, start easy, if you haven't exercised for a year or more. Initially your body will stand only 20-30 minutes of light exercise, three times a week. More than that leads to pains, strains, and injuries and the give-up reaction.

Before you begin any exercise program fix this information in your memory. The proteins in your muscles take a minimum of six months to turn over once. Much of your bone is renewed only once a year. To have a permanent effect, you have to exercise regularly for at least that long. Anything less is mostly a waste of time.

Your body will tell you when to increase. If you sleep better and rise refreshed, if your waking pulse gradually falls, if you dodge colds and flus while all about you sniffle and snort, if you find new spring in your step and laughter in your heart, only then should you up the ante.
