Results of five years of research indicate that although genes play a role in menopause, quitting smoking, drinking no more than three drinks per month and losing weight lessens symptoms of menopause such as hot flashes in midlife women. Researchers at the University of Maryland, Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore and the School of Medicine at Johns Hopkins University collaborated to be to conduct a pioneering study about the "underlying causes of hot flashes." Once again, research shows that lifestyle matters.
