Avoiding these is defiantly worth considering.
Weight-bearing exercise (e.g. running, strength-training, dance, tennis) is of particular importance to maintain bone health. Eating a healthy, balanced Mediterranean-style diet is beneficial for overall good health, heart health and mental well-being.

Menopause and heart disease.
When we hit menopause, we are at a higher risk of heart disease. This is due to the decrease in oestrogen which affects the arteries in the heart, making them less elastic and pliable.
