Actress highlights hormone shift challenges and recommends strength training
In a recent Instagram post, Manisha Koirala shared a clip of herself performing chest presses and dumbbell curls, using the platform to discuss the health implications of menopause. She explained that the hormonal fluctuations typical of this stage can impact several physiological systems, including the skeletal structure, muscular development, sleep cycles, mood regulation, and overall metabolism.
Koirala emphasized that acknowledging these changes is the first step toward effective management. She advocated for a holistic approach: regular strength‑building exercises to preserve muscle and bone mass, a diet rich in protein and essential micronutrients, and sufficient, guilt‑free relaxation periods. "Exercise, eat healthily, nourish your body, rest, tune into your needs, and ask for help when you need it," she advised.
The actress called on women to stop fighting their changing bodies and instead partner with them, suggesting that this mindset could transform menopause into a period of heightened resilience and personal growth.
