A recent study published in the journal Menopause claims that those debilitating menopause hot flashes that so many women suffer from can actually protect the heart!
More than 60,000 postmenopausal women were studied, and researchers found that those who suffered from menopause hot flashes early on were 17% less likely to have a stroke, and 11% less likely to have heart disease or a heart-related illness. And, women who did not have menopause hot flashes until later in menopause were at a 32% higher risk of heart attack!
So, while menopause symptoms can be quite bothersome, this research might be a sliver of positive news for you if you suffer from hot flashes or night sweats!
