Is walking good for night sweats during perimenopause?

Walking can be helpful for managing night sweats during perimenopause. Exercise influences hormone levels, neurotransmitter balance, inflammation, and sleep quality, all of which play a role in night sweats.

The key with walking for night sweats is matching the intensity to your current state. On days when night sweats is more severe, a gentler approach to walking may be more beneficial than pushing hard. On better days, you can increase the challenge.

Walking specifically may help with night sweats through improved circulation, endorphin release, stress hormone regulation, and the natural anti-inflammatory effects of movement. Consistency matters more than intensity. Regular walking, even at lower intensity, tends to produce better results for night sweats than occasional intense sessions.
