Does exercise help with menopause symptoms?

Yes. Regular physical activity is one of the most effective non-hormonal ways to manage menopause symptoms. Strength training helps preserve muscle mass and bone density, both of which decline faster after menopause, while aerobic exercise supports heart health, mood, and sleep quality.

Even moderate activity, like brisk walking a few times a week, has been shown to reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flashes for many women.
