Keep active is the message 🏃🏼‍♀️‍➡️💃🏼⛹🏼🏊🏼🏄🏼🏌🏼‍♀️🧘🏻‍♂️🏇🏿🤾‍♂️

Once you reach postmenopause, your hormones are low and stable. If you're already consistently active (moderate to high activity level), then there’s some good news. New research (published this month) in Exercise and Sports Sciences Reviews shows that exercise can potentially offset the negative impacts of estradiol loss by activating similar molecular pathways as estrogen, thus aiding in the preservation of health during the postmenopausal period.

In simple terms, delaying physical activity until well into menopause reduces the effectiveness of exercise, so if you don't already have an exercise habit before you reach menopause, be sure to get one! Assuming you are already moderately or highly active, then here are some other tips I’d suggest:

Keep lifting heavy—but rest more: Your recovery time is longer now. Adjust volume, not intensity.

Power and mobility are your friends: Explosive movements, yoga, and active recovery will all pay dividends.

Stay social and strategic: Train with others, follow a plan (consistency matters!), and track how you feel.

Your goals: Maintain strength. Prevent decline. Stay sharp and mobile.

Interesting 🧐

Scientists have made a remarkable discovery showing that dandelion root extract may naturally destroy up to 95 percent of cancer cells in just 48 hours. Laboratory studies suggest that compounds in the root specifically target cancer cells without harming healthy cells, making it a promising natural therapy.

Unlike conventional treatments such as chemotherapy, which often damage healthy tissue, dandelion root works by triggering cancer cell death while leaving normal cells untouched. Early research indicates it may be effective against several types of cancer, though clinical trials in humans are still needed to confirm these results.

This discovery highlights the potential of natural remedies in supporting cancer treatment and inspiring further research into plant-based therapies. While dandelion root is not yet a replacement for conventional treatment, it offers hope as a complementary approach in the fight against cancer.

Awesome 🤩

Japanese scientist Yoshinori Ohsumi won the Nobel Prize in Medicine for uncovering one of the body’s most powerful secrets — autophagy, the process by which our cells clean, repair, and renew themselves.
When the body lacks nutrients, cells begin to break down and recycle their damaged parts — transforming waste into energy and restoration. This ancient biological rhythm keeps us alive, balanced, and resilient.
Ohsumi’s discovery revealed that autophagy isn’t just a survival mechanism — it’s key to preventing diseases like cancer and Alzheimer’s, and to promoting longevity, clarity, and natural healing.
A reminder that within us all exists a quiet genius —
a body designed not just to survive… but to restore itself. 🌙✨
