Does Menopause Really Increase Intelligence?

by Richard_Smart

There has been much speculation about why human women are one of
only a few mammals that go through menopause. Rhesus monkeys and
certain cetaceans, whales, dolphins and porpoises, are only a few
of the mammals that go through menopause following their
reproductive years. In humans, some believe that menopause is the
beginning of another stage of life, sometimes called the
grandmother hypothesis.

There is an old saying that with age comes wisdom. Many believe
the female of the human species were selected for menopause as
they reach a certain age, as they have acquired the wisdom and
intelligence to care for the children that were bred. Although,
asking women in the stages of premenopause if they feel any
smarter their answer may come as a surprise. However outlandish
the theory may sound, in its own way it makes sense.

As children women have no reproductive capabilities and until
they go through the �raging hormone� stage of puberty, are unable
to reproduce. This is the time of their life when their body is
secreting hormones.

The hormones involved in making them conducive to bearing
children include:

� Estrogen
� Progestin
� Testosterone

When these hormones begin to appear, their reproductive system
begins to function. Typically, this stage begins between 11 and
13 years of age. Between the ages of 45 and 55 menopause begins
to end the reproductive stage of their life and the entire
process is reversed.

While many believe that menopause is the time in a woman�s life
when they cease experiencing monthly menstrual cycles, medically
speaking it is the time when the ovaries cease functioning.
Technically, menopause is the day the ovaries shut down and the
time leading up to that is called pre-menopause.

Post-menopausal women are typically in the last stages of child
rearing where advice and guidance are needed for their children.
Some children however, may not be amenable to taking advice from
a woman who just went through their change of life, and may take
sometime to reestablish a relationship. However, as the younger
brood begins to bear children of their own the grandmother�s
presence is welcomed. Many parents have been heard to say they
cannot wait until their children get older so they can be smart
again, adding to the argument that after menopause, mothers do
get smarter.

While many drugs have been developed to help women through the
symptoms of menopause including hormone replacement therapy,
there are many women who weigh the benefits of the drugs against
the potential risk of side effects and opt to seek alternative
and more natural ways of dealing with the phenomenon that is
menopause.

Bioidentical drugs that have been developed for hormone
replacement therapies have shown the most promise as they appear
to the body to be the real thing. By being recognized a
body-friendly, these drugs do not spark a reaction by the immune
system and create harsh side effects or create other health
problems. As research continues on development of these products,
most women continue to deal with natural products, promising
relief from the mane effects of menopause.
