Weight Loss Products and Menopause, Zalestra

By Ricardo d Argence

A big point in a woman's life is menopause. It is definitely a sign of crossing one stage and entering the other. Having one or more of these signs: mood swings, loss of sexual desire, irritability and weight gain can be signs of menopause. Gaining weight is on of the more bothersome issues and even women who live a healthy and active lifestyle are not immune.

There are currently many weight loss products available which state they can handle the menopausal weight gain. They promise to reduce your weight without any side effects. How true are their claims and are they really what they seem? Prior to discussion, we need to realize why gaining weight is basically a fundamental component of menopause.

Here are some reasons why weight gain happens in menopause: One of the consequences of growing older is a reduction in the efficiency and the speed of digestion. As a result the food takes longer to digest which means that your body absorbs more nutrients and fat and calories from food.

Estrogen has a direct connection with the fat metabolization. When the estrogen levels decrease in menopause then the fat metobolization is affected. As a result the body stores more fat than before to compensate this drop in estrogen. This causes the entire chain of metabolism to get affected.

The additional pounds gained in menopause can be really harmful since they can aid in causing heart problems, diabetes and other such related diseases.

Menopause changes your body in ways that you can address, and these menopausal weight loss products will help you do that. These days Zalestra is quite well known in these products.

A great many ingredients such as DHEA, mega soy extract, Carbinol, and additional fruit extracts are supposed to be found in Zelestra. The product reduces menopause problems and it helps to protect the organism againts different negative effects

Zalestra works in three different ways: Increases the thermogenic output, supports the thyroid and suppresses the appetite.

Most women experience a decline in energy levels during menopause which can be taken care of by Zalestra without switching to caffeine containing products.

That it's made of natural ingredients is the positive side to this product. It also appears to be a one stop solution for all the needs for weight loss.

However, the soy in Zalestra is now no longer recommended by experts since the latest researches show that soy may be responsible for upsetting the hormonal balance of the body rather than setting it right. Apart from that the manufacturers do not provide any supported clinical evidence which backs the claims of weight loss made by Zalestra. Moreover the company does not even seem to be offering a free sample to back its claims.

The right diet and exercise can keep menopausal effects at bay. This is a very delicate situation in every woman's life. Because of this it is suggested that you only use these products under a doctor's guidance. A good diet with exercise can do a great deal to help. - 15437
