Early Menopause Causes

What Causes Early Menopause?

In some cases, the reason for early menopause is clear: you’ve had your ovaries surgically removed, have a family history of early menopause, or had ovarian damage due to cancer treatments. These are some of the more obvious factors that can contribute to early menopause. Yet, sometimes the causes are less apparent. You may be wondering, “How did this happen to me?” “I’m too young!” Here are some more possible and common causes of the various conditions commonly refer to as early menopause or premature menopause.

Autoimmune Disorder

This is a common cause of premature ovarian failure. When this happens, your body’s immune system mistakenly attacks itself. Therefore, your body senses part of itself as an invader – so it sends out antibodies to destroy the supposed threat. These antibodies can then attack your reproductive system, and may interfere with and potentially destroy your ovarian function. If you have a family history of autoimmune disorders or have one yourself (some of which include thyroid disease, diabetes, and rheumatoid arthritis), this may be the cause of your early menopause.

Tips on Eating Light and Healthy

Posted in WeightLoss & Dieting by admin on the October 2nd, 2005

At one time or another, half the women and a quarter of the men in this country have tried to lose weight. The ones destined to try again and again are most likely those looking for shortcuts. There are none.

The only way to step off the diet treadmill is to find some kind of program that helps you lose weight slowly and steadily; a program that will train you to adopt a low-fat eating plan, making it a way of life.

Good habits are a must. Start out strong, remembering that people who eat a healthy breakfast generally feel less hungry throughout the day. Researchers speculate that eating the major part of our daily calories early in the day allows the food to be used to produce energy; therefore fewer calories are left over to become fat. Curb your appetite by drinking a glass of water or some tea before meals.

The best diet foods are complex carbohydrates, low in fat, fast burning, and rich in vitamins and minerals. These foods are also high in bulk, which means you can feel full on fewer calories. Whole-grain cereals, rice, breads, pasta, beans, nuts, fruits, and vegetables are just a few of the things most recommended. Leave off grease, lard and fried foods.
