Why should every woman lift weights?

Why should every woman lift weights? | Dr Pal [lm0CSQAez]

Belly fat in women can worsen after age 45 and we can prevent it. A study shows that for women around the perimenopausal period which is between 45-55 years of age, the belly fat deposition can be increased by 44%. During this period, the female sex hormone estrogen starts to fall. The body compensates by producing more androgens which tend to add on to the belly fat. If we have a good muscle mass, this androgen effect can be prevented. Hence, it is absolutely important for women to lift weights to build muscle. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5509974/pdf/MR-16-30164.pdf --- Dr. Palaniappan Manickam MD, MPH Internal Medicine | Gastroenterology | Epidemiologist --- For Tamil videos, please subscribe to my Tamil channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYxezj89xof3XRLFqly20VA Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Dr-Pal-102856268051377 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.pal.manickam/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/drpal_manickam Join us on Telegram: https://t.me/Ask_Doc_Pal Email: askdocpal@gmail.com If you want to donate to AISHWARYAM TRUST, here are the details.
