Natural menopause1992

Natural Menopause, one of the few books on menopause not written by a man, is the first book to provide all the information you need to make an informed choice about hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Noted health writer Susan Perry teams up with gynecologic cancer specialist Dr. Katherine O'Hanlan of the Stanford University Medical Center to offer a reassuring look at menopause as a natural passage in life, not a disease--without minimizing the discomforts or problems. That many women experience. Their central message is that good nutrition, a good exercise program, and, yes, even good sex are the best prescriptions for a trouble-free menopause. And that HRT carries significant health risks and should be taken by menopausal women only as a last resort. Natural Menopause emphasizes the natural strengths, the natural beauty, the natural healing, and the longevity of women--and gives you the facts about everything from osteoporosis and. Heart disease to hot flashes and mood swings and how menopause will affect your sexuality. It offers basic information every woman should have before she sees the gynecologist--and certainly before she makes any decisions about a regimen of hormone therapy. Natural Menopause is the one accurate, complete, up-to-date book that every woman should have on this subject--a balanced, comprehensive, and responsible look at a stage of women's lives that has remained so. Mysterious, misunderstood, and controversial.
