Samenvatting:

Whatever a woman's age or concern--stress and depression, sexual health and pregnancy, different forms of cancer, or simply enjoying each day to the fullest--here's what she needs to know to take charge of her health...and her life. Find out how to eat for energy, choose programs for exercising the body and the mind, control tension with breathwork, visualizations, and meditation. Ease menstrual discomfort, choose birth control wisely, have a healthy pregnancy, and handle post-partum depression. Recognize the causes and symptoms of cancer, heart attacks, strokes, and other life-threatening diseases. A listing of vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients explains what role each plays in maintaining health, and offers good food sources for calcium, zinc, and more. Know which "nutrient antagonists" can wipe out vitamins. Plus: facts on ways to meet a woman's special needs at each time of life--and much more to look after body, mind, and soul. 128 pages (all in color), 8 x 10. NEW IN PAPERBACK.
