Yoga can fend off menopausal blues
Women who perform yoga while going through the menopause cope with the life change much better than those who do not, according to new research.
The study by researchers at American university Penn State also revealed that walking can have significant benefits to the health and sense of well being of women undergoing menopause.
Steriani Elavsky, the kinesiology professor who oversaw the study, told American radio station KCBS: "The walking and yoga were effective in enhancing positive mood and decreasing negative mood and also improving menopause-related quality of life.
"I would suggest that physicians recommend an active lifestyle and walking for women at this stage of life," she added.
Fitness Footwear offers a range of shoes suitable for yoga and walking, including the Balance Step from Chung-Shi.
Chung-Shi shoes have been praised by health experts for the raft of innovative features they incorporate including a rubber negative heel sole, which improves posture and can help to reduce cellulite.
