Did you know that women are three times more likely to die of heart disease than breast cancer? Knowing how to keep your heart healthy, and help prevent attack or stroke, is critical at menopause when the risk increases.
Have you reduced cholesterol to help lose weight or improve heart health? That advice is flawed as it is not dietary cholesterol that is the problem. Progesterone is known to protect your heart so have you got the right balance now?
