dry, inflamed and more easily irritated. This can cause more frequent
urination and increase the risk of urinary tract infections. Many of
these symptoms can be controlled or eliminated. Vaginal moisturizers
replace moisture and restore the natural acidity of the vagina. They
should be used every 2 to 3 days as needed. Hypoallergenic lubricants
decrease friction and discomfort with intercourse when the vagina
is dry. Vaginal estrogen therapy is a safe and effective treatment for
many women with significantly fewer risks than systemic hormone
therapy. Last but not least, women can maintain vaginal health through
regular sexual activity, which promotes increased pelvic muscle tone
and blood flow to the genital area. You can finally relax and have sex
without worrying about pregnancy. Enjoy it.
Several strategies can improve incontinence without medication
or surgery. Try drinking enough water to keep urine diluted and
light yellow. Avoid foods and drinks with a high acid or caffeine
content, which can irritate the lining of the bladder. These include
coffee, tea, soft drinks, alcohol, grapefruit, oranges, and tomatoes.
Kegel exercises can strengthen your pelvic floor muscles and reduce
incontinence episodes.

Where he makes farming thrive.

Where we make decisions.
Mar-Anne Farms

When David and Cindy Wolfskill decided to expand their dairy farm,
they switched to Tompkins VIST Bank.

"They're different," says David. "When you need something,
Tompkins VIST is there immediately."
Says David: "They really go above and beyond."

Women lose bone more rapidly during the first 4-8 years of
menopause due to decreased estrogen levels, increasing the chances
of osteoporosis. Osteoporosis increases the risk of bone fracture,
especially in the bones of the hip, wrist and spine. A healthy diet
rich in calcium and adequate vitamin D as well as weight-bearing
exercise can significantly decrease the risk of osteoporosis and fractures.
Weight gain is a common problem and becoming more so.
Menopause can result in a slowing of your metabolism. This a great
time to evaluate your diet and make life-long changes that will pay
dividends for years to come. There is no one superior diet for weight
control. Experiment and find the one that works for your body.
Exercise, both cardiovascular training and strength training, are
important for wellness. Recent studies have shown strength training
to be important for weight maintenance and weight loss. Experiment
with different forms of exercise. Don't forget to play.
The transition to menopause can be a time of reflection, inspiration
and personal growth. With the end of menstrual cycles, many women
experience a newfound freedom. It should be a time to explore what
your truly want from your life and an opportunity to shape your
remarkable life with wisdom and confidence. By combining positive
thoughts, relaxation techniques, a nurturing and healthy lifestyle,
many women are changing the menopause experience. n

"In the end, the real wisdom of menopause may be in
questioning how fun or even sane this chore wheel called
modern life actually is."
-Sandra Tsing Loh
