Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Christiane Northrup’s #1 New York Times bestseller The Wisdom of Menopause has inspired more than a million women with a dramatically new vision of midlife—and will continue to do so for generations to come. As Dr. Northrup has championed, the "change" is not simply a collection of physical symptoms to be "fixed," but a mind-body revolution that brings the greatest opportunity for growth since adolescence. The choices a woman makes now—from the quality of her relationships to the quality of her diet—have the power to secure vibrant health and well-being for the rest of her life. Now completely revised, this groundbreaking classic draws on the current research and medical advances in women’s health, and includes: • a new section on sex after 50—and how, if need be, you can rejuvenate your sex life; • updated mammogram guidelines—and how thermography improves breast health; • the latest on the glycemic index, optimal blood sugar levels, and ways to prevent diabetes; • dietary guidelines revealing that hidden sugar—not dietary fat—is the main culprit in heart disease, cancer, and obesity; • all you need to know about perimenopause and why it’s critical to your well-being; • a vital program for ensuring pelvic health during and after menopause; • strategies to combat osteoporosis and strengthen bones for life. With this trusted resource, Dr. Christiane Northrup shows that women can make menopause a time of personal empowerment—emerging wiser, healthier, and stronger in both mind and body than ever before.

Download or read book The Woman s Book of Yoga and Health written by Linda Sparrowe and published by National Geographic Books. This book was released on 2002-12-03 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Woman's Book of Yoga and Health is the first comprehensive book about women's health issues and how to treat them with yoga. The authors offer a complete yoga program for general health as well as pose sequences that address specific health problems—all in the Iyengar tradition, which targets health needs more than other forms of yoga. For example, in the first part of the book, Patricia Walden has organized three chapters showing yoga poses with clear instructions that tell how to get into each pose and describe its benefits: chapter one is the Essential Sequence for all women, and includes modifications for people who cannot or should not do all the poses; chapter two is the Restorative Sequence for stress relief and relaxation; chapter three contains advanced poses that energize and tone. The second part is presented in four sections that broadly represent the stages of a woman's life: teen years and early twenties, later twenties and thirties, midlife, and wisdom years. Each section contains chapters offering specific information about a particular health issue from author Linda Sparrowe, as well as sequences of yoga poses from Patricia Walden that address the problem. For example, the back care chapter includes information about common back problems and their causes (scoliosis, arthritis, lordosis, sciatica, kyphosis, among others) with an emphasis on: emotional and psychological roots of some back problems; physiological information about the spine and back muscles; general information about how yoga addresses different areas of the back; and finally, Patricia Walden's sequences of poses that target different back problems with the goal of not only relieving back pain but of strengthening, and healing old injuries and misalignments. Sections of the book include: • Teens and Early 20s: Eating disorders, menstrual health, immune support • 20s and 30s: Back care, pregnancy, headaches • Midlife: Depression, menopause, digestion • Wisdom Years: Osteoporosis, postmenopause, the heart The final section of the book includes listings of yoga centers, instructional videos, yoga equipment, and where to go for more information about yoga.

Download or read book Women s Intuition written by Paula M. Reeves and published by Mango Media. This book was released on 1999-06-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A psychoneuroimmunologist explores “how intuition works; and how people can use it to be in tune with their bodies, reduce stress, and promote health” (Booklist). Women’s intuition is real, says Paula Reeves. Encoded in a woman’s DNA, this subtle yet potent source of knowledge has been doubted and dismissed as an old wives’ tale. Because social conditioning and male-dominated culture have caused women to feel disconnected from their own bodies, Dr. Reeves believes that most women are unaware of what their intuition is trying to tell them. In Women’s Intuition, Dr. Reeves guides readers to remove the blocks preventing this channel of knowledge from informing and enriching their daily lives. By evoking body-based intuition, readers can reestablish their body-mind bond and access their intuitive power for healing and insight. “Reeves describes numerous real-life therapy sessions and exercises involving SCM [Spontaneous Contemplative Movement], providing us with clear illustrations of how to connect with our bodies and emotions and hence achieve a deeper understanding of the self. She helps us through the difficult task of both rediscovering the intuitive parts of ourselves we have lost and trusting our intuitions to guide us through life. This challenging book will no doubt profoundly change some readers’ lives.” —Library Journal “A gift to any woman who is determined to connect with her own feminine body.” —Marion Woodman, author of Bone: Dying into Life “This gracious book is for all who suspect that the body knows things we do not know. We’ve yearned to free the wisdom locked in the body’s images, symptoms, and movements; Reeves gives us a burnished key.” —Jill Mellick, PhD, author of The Art of Dreaming
Download or read book Women are Not Small Men written by Nieca Goldberg and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 490 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The single greatest health risk for women today-more than stroke and all cancers "combined-is heart disease. Yet despite this documented fact, heart disease is still considered primarily a "male problem," with the result that far too many women go untreated by doctors and are misinformed by the existing literature. Now, with this groundbreaking new book, Dr. Nieca Goldberg, the nation's leading expert on women's heart disease, has at last remedied this situation. "Women "Are Not Small Men presents detailed, decade-by-decade programs that give women at any age OF life the facts and the guidance they need to recognize, treat, and prevent heart disease. In the course of her work as founder and chief of the Women's Heart Program at New York's Lenox Hill Hospital, Dr. Goldberg has come to a startling realization: Women experience heart disease in a fundamentally different way than men do. The physiology of a woman's heart attack is not the same as a man's, the symptoms of heart disease and signs of impending heart attack differ for women, and once heart disease has been recognized, women often do not get the treatment and medications they need. In this accessible book, she uses these critical insights to build a complete treatment and prevention program geared to the unique needs of women. Engagingly written and grounded in compelling true patient stories, the book presents comprehensive instructions on what you can do to maintain or improve your heart health, including how to spot the warning signs of heart disease, the exercises and diet to follow for prevention and recovery, how to assess risk factors, techniques for reducing stress, the truth about estrogen and hormonereplacement therapy, which supplements and herbal remedies really work, and how to become your own advocate in dealing with the medical profession. Dr. Nieca Goldberg has made it her mission to give women the treatment and information they deserve. Now she makes her research, prevention program, and recovery strategies accessible to all women. Authoritative, caring, and up-to-the-minute, this is destined to become the women's health book of the new millennium.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hormone Treatment Is Called Harmful-Washington Post, 7/10/02 Estrogen Use Linked to Higher Cancer Risk-Boston Globe, 7/17/02 31.2 million women facing menopause in America are concerned by these headlines. Most women today will live over one-third of their lives post-menopausal, but what about the age-old solution of hormone replacement therapy? In 2002 the U.S. government halted a major study of hormone therapy because it increased the risk of invasive breast cancer. Now, millions of women are left wondering whether they should approach menopause without hormones, suffering from hot flashes and low sex drive or take hormones and live in fear of being another statistic. Suza Francina has a simpler solution: Yoga. In this practical book, Francina, a leading yogi and author of The New Yoga for People Over 50, shows how yoga can be a powerful tool to help women turn menopause into a positive and empowering experience, both physically and spiritually. Included are easy-to-follow, indexed photos of yoga poses that alleviate key menopausal problems including: hormonal changes; hot flashes; irregular bleeding; fibroids; stress and anxiety, mood swings, depression and fatigue; bone loss; heart disease and cancer. Francina delivers a timely and truly heartening message to women: you don't have to get weaker or depressed when facing menopause, it can truly be an empowering, restorative time.

Book excerpt: As night follows day all women will pass through menopause. It is not a disease but with the onset of menopause women will experience a new set of health problems like vaginal dryness, bladder disturbances, hot flashes, skin wrinkling, facial hair growth and loss of sexual desire. Since the turn of the century a woman could expect to live to about forty-eight. Things have changed. At menopause a woman now has half of her adult life to live. The risks of developing osteoporosis, heart disease, breast cancer increases at this stage of a woman's life. There are many books on the market that deal in detail with the various facets of menopause. This book however will focus on nutrition, food supplements and lifestyles for women on hormones or women who want to pass through this phase of life naturally. I have also added a chapter on the risk and benefits of HRT. Women have now to take responsibility on themselves to learn all facets of menopause and how to cope with the changes that come with menopause so that the last half of a woman's life will be more vigorous and rewarding than the first half! Women who do not take the very best of their health from the five to seven years of menopause are the ones with the most health problems and poorest quality of life in later years.
