Study: Heat Therapy Could Help Women In Menopause

Research from the American Society for Nutrition suggests that heat therapy could be beneficial for older women. Researchers induced menopause in mice and placed them on a Western diet. After 12 weeks, mice that received heat therapy gained less weight and were more sensitive to insulin. “Our study suggests that whole-body heat therapy could serve as an effective, non-invasive solution for managing weight gain and insulin resistance associated with menopause,” study lead author Dr. Soonkyu Chung said.
