After menopause, the secretion of estrogen will decrease, and the metabolism and distribution of sugar and fat in the body will change greatly. Heart disease, hypertension and diabetes are easy to enter the upper body, and the mental and autonomic nervous system may be disordered. Once the metabolism in the human body is abnormal, it will lead to obesity. If what we eat can't be absorbed by the digestive system, the extra grains in our bodies will pile up and become fat.

2. Wrong diet to lose weight

After menopause, estrogen secretion decreases, and the heart and bones begin to age. If you lose weight through excessive dieting, it will accelerate aging. Dieting to lose weight will lead to insufficient vitamins and subcutaneous fat in the body and hinder the synthesis of collagen. Once collagen is blocked, the skin will lose its elasticity and luster, and the detoxification function in the body will also be hindered.
