It used to be quoted in the medical literature that most women, on the average, gained 8 pounds as they became menopausal. Most of it on the torso and hips.

Today’s menopausal women, frightened to death of hormones, often gain 20 pounds. Or more.

Add that ole “Covid 15” and you got a lot of “mushy” folks having more difficulty walking, enjoying their life, let alone fitting into their clothes.

Mushy is not bad.

We all should have self love and acceptance.

But with unhealthy muscle mass and more adiposity, we potentially face a much more unhealthy future.
