Slimming down may help ease the hot flashes that often accompany menopause, new research suggests. About one-third of menopausal women experience more than 10 hot flashes a day, and hot flashes are more common in obese women.
'Fat appears to function as an insulator, and interferes with heat dissipation,' explained Dr. Taraneh Shirazian, an assistant professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive science at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City who was not involved in the study.
Another expert, Dr. Jill Rabin, co-chief of ambulatory care and women's health programs at North Shore-LIJ Health System in New Hyde Park, N.Y., said estrogen also can be produced in fat tissue.
Rabin said she has found that obese and overweight women have, in general, more severe and more frequent hot flash symptoms.
Overweight and obese women also may yo-yo diet, which could mean they have fluctuating estrogen levels, and that could make it harder for their bodies to regulate their internal temperatures, Rabin added.

1 Registered dieticians Julie Upton and Katherine Brooking address the inability to lose weight and keep it off in their book, 'The Real Skinny: Appetite for Health's 101 Fat Habits & Slim Solutions.'
The problem they say is most people fall prey to a common set of fat habits derailing their ability to maintain a healthy weight. They list 101 fat habits such as 'I'm always hungry' and 'Healthy recipes never taste good.' With each, they offer several 'slim solutions.' Instead of skipping meals, for instance, they suggest, 'Start your day with a wholesome, filling breakfast of about 300 to 400 calories and at least 20 grams of satisfying protein.' One of their suggestions is a container of low-fat or nonfat Greek yogurt with fresh fruit mixed with ¼ cup oats or Grape-Nuts. Also included is a 14-day meal plan with easy recipes.
