The pressure on off ense

create opportunities to
score, but it was not until
late in the game they were
able to fi nd the back of the
net.
A foul by Spring
Arbor in the 89th minute
inside the penalty area set
up the penalty kick for
Kayla Storm, who nailed
the shot into the bottom
right corner of the net
just past the goalkeeper’s
reach to bring the score to

Cailin Koupal scored
the Mountaineer’s lone

Koupal then made a move
to the right to get into the

goalkeeper and tie the
game at 1-1.

• Cut out sweetened beverages and desserts. Cutting back
on sugary items can trigger weight loss. Researcher Bethany
Barone Gibbs, Ph.D., of the University of Pittsburgh, noted
that participants in a school-sponsored weight-loss study
who were able to decrease their consumption of desserts and
sugar-sweetened beverages tended to have more success
losing weight and keeping it off than those who did not.
• Talk about medications. Speak with a doctor about
medications, some of which can contribute to weight gain.
Many women are prescribed antidepressants in midlife to
combat, among other things, symptoms of menopause. Side
effects of such medications can include weight gain.

Did you know?
Leisure activities may be widely viewed as fun ways to fill up free time, but the benefits of leisure activities extend
beyond beating boredom. A 2011 analysis published in the journal BBA Molecular Basis of Disease found that
leisure activities have a positive impact on cognitive function and dementia. The analysis, conducted by researchers
with the Aging Research Center in Stockholm who examined various studies regarding the relationship between
certain activities and cognitive function, defined leisure activity as the voluntary use of free time for activities
outside the home. After retirement, leisure time constitutes a large part of many retirees’ lives, and finding ways
to fill that time is more beneficial than merely avoiding boredom. The researchers behind the study concluded that
the existing research is insufficient to draw any firm conclusions regarding the effects of certain types of leisure
activities on the risk for dementia and cognitive decline, though they did note that multi-domain cognitive training
has the potential to improve cognitive function in healthy older adults and slow decline in affected individuals. A
multi-domain approach to cognitive training involves memory, reasoning, problem-solving, and map reading, among
other activities. Aging adults who embrace activities that require the use of such skills may find that they’re not only
finding stimulating ways to fill their free time, but increasing their chances of long-term cognitive health as well.

Menopause is a time of change in a woman’s life. Much
as the start of menstruation is accompanied by great
fluctuations in hormones that can cause different symptoms,
so, too, is the end of menstruation.
During menopause, many women experience weight
gain and have trouble shedding pounds. Researchers are
not quite sure why women gain weight during menopause.
However, the health and wellness site Healthline advises
that both elevated and low levels of estrogen can lead
to increased fat storage. This is compounded by a loss of
muscle mass that occurs due to age, hormonal changes and
decreased physical activity.
According to JoAnn Pinkerton, MD, executive director of
the North American Menopause Society, most women will
gain about five pounds during the menopause transition.
Women who do not gain weight may notice that fat is being
repositioned around their midsections. Other factors also
may contribute to this weight gain..
Losing weight during the menopause transition can be
challenging, but it is not impossible.
• Cut down on calories. Post-menopausal women can cut
back on calories because they likely do not need as much
as they did when they were younger. Eating may be out of
habit, not necessity.
• Increase exercise. While mature women may not have
the endurance of younger women, they can make up for it
by scheduling shorter, more frequent exercise sessions. The
general recommendation is 30 minutes of moderate-intensity
exercise most days per week. But this can be split up into
different sessions per day. Incorporate resistance training to
help combat muscle mass lost from aging. The more muscle
one has, the more calories burned, even at rest.
