JUNE IS THE MONTH TO...<br />

KEEP COOL<br />

The weather's finally warming up, but if you're finding yourself<br />

having more hot flushes than usual, it could be time to see your GP.<br />

Traditionally a symptom of the menopause, they affect three in four<br />

women going through the change. But researchers have found that<br />

frequent hot flushes in women aged between 40 and 53 may be a<br />

sign of blood vessel damage, which can lead to heart disease. It's<br />

thought the flushes impair the blood vessels' ability to dilate. There<br />

was no link in those aged 54 to 60 — suggesting only having flushes<br />

in the younger age bracket is a problem.<br />
