Dr Steven R. Goldstein MD is the best menopause doctor in NYC. Dr Goldstein is President of the International Menopause Society, and a world renowned Gynecologist, having helped thousands of women cope with the symptoms of menopause over several decades.

Dr Goldstein believes that bone health is critical in menopausal women. When a woman enters menopause, her ovaries cease to produce estrogen. The loss of estrogen in a woman results in the deterioration of bone and muscle. Bone health goes beyond the prevention of osteoporosis. The weakening of the bone and muscle is of major concern as the weakening of either or both can result in falls and fractures. Many older women who have fractures may have shortened life spans or fail to live independently. This condition of weak bones is called osteopenia.

Furthermore, it is important for midlife and older women, essentially menopausal women, to maintain muscle mass, muscle performance and muscle strength.

Failure to do so can result in sarcopenia or “muscle

wasting” Aside from gyms and personal trainers, there are simple exercises that can be done right in the home if one takes fifteen minutes to half hour a day to maintain muscle mass and muscle strength. Many of these can be found online.

Therefore, exercise activity must be thought of as essential by menopausal women or women entering midlife. Strong muscles aid bones in their function and translate into less of a chance for falling and fractures.

Of course, adequate supplementation with calcium and vitamin D also help.

To test your bone and muscle health, see if you can stand on one leg for 60 seconds without holding on to a chair or the walls. Try both legs. If you can do it with

your eyes closed, even better.
