Dr. Heward explains what he means when he says, "Menopause is the harbinger of death."
Dr. Heward:
A harbinger is a sign of things to come and, for example, cardiovascular disease is pretty rare and almost nonexistent in women below the age 50, and at the age of 50 it begins to skyrocket and, cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in women as well as men.
So the first indication that you’re headed down the path towards old age and dying for a woman is the loss of her menstrual cycle, menopause itself. It’s a sign that youthful health and reproductive capacity is over. Mother Nature has no more use for you from a reproductive standpoint, and it's time to get you ready for the trash heap, and so, it really truly is a harbinger of death.
Sadly, if you think about it, menopausal women who are not on hormone replacement therapy, say at age 65, compared to a postmenopausal woman who is on hormone replacement therapy at age 65; you line up women that fit into those two categories of any ages, post-menopause and, everyone I know can tell you which person belongs to which group. It’s not hard because the women without the hormones look older, and the reason is, they decline faster.
