Menopause Facts

When oestrogen levels fall during menopause, it doesn’t just affect bones and periods, it also impacts your heart and blood vessels. Oestrogen helps keep blood vessels flexible and supports healthy cholesterol levels. Without that protection, women are more likely to see a rise in blood pressure, cholesterol or other changes to heart health.

That’s why menopause is sometimes described as a “tipping point” for women’s cardiovascular health. Lifestyle medicine gives us powerful tools to help.

💡 Simple steps that support heart health:

🥗 Choose more plant-based foods, whole grains and fibre.

🚶 Stay active with regular movement, even brisk walking supports healthy blood pressure.

😌 Find ways to manage stress, which also affects blood pressure.

🩺 Keep an eye on your numbers with routine health checks.

Looking after your heart during menopause isn’t about perfection, it’s about small, steady habits that build long-term protection.
