Recent research (Study of Women’s Health across the Nation) on hot flashes/menopause indicates that:

  • A third of women don’t have any hot flashes, another third have a tolerable problem, and another third are complete monsters very affected.
  • Heavy women suffer from hot flashes the most.  When heavy women lose weight, they receive marked relief from their hot flashes.
  • Women who smoke go through Menopause earlier.  Gosh, for some of us, stopping our menstrual periods might be motivation to smoke–but menopause could be worse.
  • If you are highly anxious prior to menopause–watch out–your symptoms might get worse.
  • African American women (82%) report the highest incident of hot flashes, followed by Whites and Hispanics (68%) and then Asian women (58%).
  • The study draws no conclusions yet on the effects of diet, caffine, alcohol and exercise.

What are you doing to combat HOT flashes?
