Canon
•
Spector: post-menopausal women who do resistance training 2-3x/week maintain bone density, preserve muscle mass, improve insulin sensitivity, and reduce visceral fat more effectively than any dietary intervention alone.
Highlights
•
Menopause fundamentally changes metabolic responses — women need different dietary strategies post-menopause
Spector: ZOE data shows menopausal women have worse blood sugar responses, higher levels of inflammation, worse blood lipids, and altered body composition compared to pre-menopausal women eating the same foods. Dietary strategies must adapt.Was this useful?
