I always associated the word "menopause" with old women. In my mind, it was something that only happened to Grandmas - the little old women kind with white hair. It was like this derogatory word, and it signified a certain stage of life that nobody wants to be in. Now that I'm in it, I realize almost everything I thought about menopause was wrong.
By now, we've probably all heard the term menopause. Some of us may even have an idea of what it means. Basically, it's a stage in women's lives where we stop having periods permanently and our reproduction capabilities end. But it goes much deeper than that. How much do we really know about menopause, aside from the usual facts?
Stress and metabolism have a close relationship, though its effects may vary from person to person.
