❤️ As the heart can be greatly affected during perimenopause and menopause, it's no surprise the 2023 World Menopause Day theme focuses on cardiovascular health!

Did you know that oestrogen helps protect your heart? It controls cholesterol levels and prevents fat from building up in your arteries. Keeping your blood vessels healthy is also one of its benefits. So, as oestrogen levels fall during perimenopause and menopause a number of problems can arise.

Here are 3 ways menopause can affect your heart:
1. Increases the risk of heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke
2. Contributes to the increase of high blood pressure
3. Causes heart palpitations

But don't worry, you can support and protect your heart health in a number of simple ways. Eileen, A.Vogel's menopause coach, is on hand to offer top tips and advice on how to help your heart and reduce your risk of heart problems. 🥰

If you are worried about your heart health or concerned about any symptoms you are experiencing, please consult your doctor.
