They're like the luckiest 20% of American women, who show no symptoms…and very unlike the 30% of US women who have considerable distress from hot flashes, emotional upset, vaginal problems, ect.

How can you join the select company of women who never have to face the nasty side of menopause? By asking yourself, "What do these lucky ladies have in common?"

Here are some of the answers:

• Oriental women do not eat like we do. For one thing their food provides more plant estrogen than our food.
• Since 1944, studies have shown that hot flashes and vaginal dryness can be greatly reduced by proper combinations of essential vitamins.
• A study of 220 women at the University of Newcastle in Australia revealed a solid rule: The more women exercise, the fewer symptoms of menopause they have.
• University of Arizona College of Medicine, professor, Andrew Weil, MD, says that, "Vegetarians often glide through menopause with little discomfort".
• Numerous clinical tests have proven that GLA (gamma linolenic acid); Vitamin E and Sunflower Seed Oil are a welcome relief from hot flashes, vaginal dryness and depression.
• Nutritional supplements, exercise, healthy food high in fiber and plant estrogen can be your relief to the HOT FLASH EXPERIENCE .

This is how exercise works:

• Exercise targets fat. When you exercise your body begins to burn fat for fuel. With dieting alone you burn lean body mass (muscle) and a little fat
• Exercise speeds up your metabolism. If you stay active, you burn more calories, which helps maintain or decrease weight.
• Exercise makes weight loss stick. If you perceive exercise as a fun and pleasant activity, rather than a chore, you will have fewer fluctuations in weight.
• Exercise reduces food cravings. Eating, like exercise, triggers the release of pleasure hormones called endorphins. A person who exercises does not have to satisfy as many craving as a person who is sedentary does. Exercise also increases the body's core temperature, which temporary suppresses appetite. The more intense the exercise, the greater the hunger suppression.
• Exercise slows the muscle loss that comes with aging. Without exercise you lose about 1/2 a pound calorie-burning muscles a year after age 30.
• Exercise lifts you over weight-loss plateaus. This is important for people with fairly low caloric intake and want to maintain weight.
• Exercise keeps you from getting flabby as you lose weight. If you don't exercise while dieting, you'll actually lose muscle and get flabbier.
• Exercise puts you in the drivers' seat. People who exercise tend to be in better command of their lives.

Every culture has common expressions that are learned early in life and mindlessly repeated. Become aware of them and uproot them, so they will no longer have power in stopping you from achieving that which your heart desires.
