Menopause is a natural and gradual transition between active and inactive ovarian functions that lasts several years in women’s lives and includes changes in the body and mind.

They are more likely to suffer from arthritis compared to men, and the prevalence of this disease in women during menopause increases significantly. It also indicates a period of There are significant fluctuations in the concentration of sex hormones. Sex hormones include estrogen, progesterone, testosterone and anti-Müllerian hormone, which have inflammatory effects and play a role in both neuroprotection and neurodegeneration.
  • Methods: Material methods: Compared to men, women face unique risks such as dementia, depression, MS, etc. due to hormonal and brain changes during menopause. Women are significantly more prone to depression than men. Fluctuations in ovarian estrogen hormone levels are closely related to women's well-being. In addition, the role of this hormone in modulating brain function and activity, serotonin neurotransmission, as well as induction of inflammatory response has been discussed. Yoga plays a significant role in women’s health. Yoga is a way for the physical, mental, social and spiritual well-being of humanity without any other side effects.

Also, about the prevention of dementia in postmenopausal women, both primary prevention (primarily drug intervention) and secondary prevention (mainly diet and weight loss) continue.
  • Conclusion: Conclusion: The most common problems such as menopause, stress, depression, lack of sleep, cardiovascular disorders, etc. Yoga is the best way to overcome these problems and have a healthy and happy life in this society.
