Cancer is a degenerative disease that is capable of ravaging the body’s organs. More than one hundred forms of cancer have been identified. Smoking, being overweight and lack of physical activity are the main contributors to cancer. By increasing your level of physical activity and maintaining a healthy amount of exercise, you’ll actually decrease your chances of being struck with cancer.
Are you getting this yet? Sex after menopause is exercise!
Something as simple as standing up when you’re on the phone will help you burn calories (triple the amount you burn if you sit on the couch and talk). Healthy physical activity also prevents heart attacks. The nitrous oxide that is stimulated by physical activity relaxes blood vessels and increases the amount of blood flowing to the heart (as well as other body organs). The body begins to store that nitrous oxide you’re creating, which will dilate arteries during heart attack and other times when blood flow may be constricted.
The Center for Disease Control states that adults should perform moderate activity (walking is considered to be moderate physical activity) for at least 30 minutes every day, or more strenuous activity (jogging, for example) at least 20 minutes every other day. Getting the right amount of activity lowers your risk of high blood pressure and helps to regulate hormones, in addition to fighting cancer and heart attack.
Sex after menopause
Sex is a healthy, calorie-burning physical activity. Having sex for 30 minutes may burn 85 calories or more, almost as much as you might burn for thirty minutes of walking. During sex your blood flow increases, your heart rate goes up and your stress levels go down. Sex is a very healthy expression of physical activity, and a fun way to get the exercise you need. As long as you are healthy enough to walk up a flight of stairs, you are most likely healthy enough to have sex.

Before engaging in any regular exercise routine, always consult with your doctor. If you have any question as to whether or not you’re healthy enough for sex, don’t be afraid to consult with your physician. Sex after menopause is recommended by many medical professionals because it is healthy, but it will only stay that way if you’re being safe. You can still get a sexually transmitted infection after menopause, and sex still poses a danger even when threat of pregnancy is passed. Always use protection, get tested regularly and ask your partners to get tested, too. Safe sex is modern, and you’re never too old to follow the trends.
Painful sex
Some women avoid sex after menopause because of dyspareunia, painful sex. Menopause decreases your estrogen levels, which may in turn affects your sex drive. Some women find themselves experiencing female dryness, which makes sex a pain instead of a pleasure. There are lots of ways to deal with painful sex and overcome the problem.
