2) Recharge Your Metabolism
    Exercise can rev up metabolism by eight percent, allowing you to eat
    the same number of calories at age 50 as you did at age 30.

3) Cut Food Cravings
    Menopausal women who work out report 39% fewer fat craving and 
    22% fewer sugar cravings.  The reason: Exercise satisfies your body
    cravings.  The reason: Exercise satisfies your body so you'll find high-fat 
    fare and sugary treats less tempting.

4) Regulate Your Moods
    Exercise releases serotonin and feel-good endorphins - so menopausal 
    women are less sad and less cranky - and therefore less likely to overeat.

5) Energize Yourself
    When you exercise, you think better and are less likely to grab a 
    calorie-laden sugary food for a pick me-up.  That means fewer calories,
    less weight gain.
