Hot flashes are a tell tale sign that a woman is entering into menopause. These flashes cause the body’s temperature to go up and give the woman an intense heat that causes her to sweat and normally become flushed. Is it possible that these miserable moments in an older woman’s life aren’t entirely in vain? Some studies say that hot flashes simply burn up calories due to the intense rise in temperature, and the following cold flash which some women experience could double that number. The amount of calories that can be burned range from 50-300, it all depends on the length of the flash and how many degrees the body temperature rises.
