i found this article today and thought that it would be very helpful to my mut sisters. i, of course, am perimenopausal so i'm always looking for tips on how to keep my self regulated with diet and exercise. this way i can avoid having to take medication as i go through this "change of life". my guess is the earlier you start these regimes the better you'll be when you reach my age! i hope this helps!
