Strong Women, Strong Bones : Everything You Need to Know to Prevent, Treat, and Beat Osteoporosis by Miriam E. Nelson, Sarah Wernick. The Strong Women have done it again. First Strong Women Stay Young broke new ground by showing women how strength training--exercising with weights or against resistance--can delay the signs of aging. Then Strong Women Stay Slim showed women how strength training could keep the pounds off. Teaches women how to prevent and treat osteoporosis through exercise and nutrition. Natural Hormone Balance for Women: Look Younger, Feel Stronger, and Live Life With Exuberance by Uzzi, Md Reiss, Martin Zucker, Jesse L. Hanley. In Natural Hormone Balance for Women, Beverly Hills obstetrician-gynecologist Uzzi Reiss makes it clear that he believes in hormone replacement therapy for women, but not the "chemicalized hormonal substitutes" usually prescribed. "I emphasize natural hormones that are precise replicas of your own hormones," he writes, which can increase energy and memory, decrease symptoms of menopause and PMS. Fit and Fabulous After 40 : A 5-Part Program for Turning Back the Clock by Denise Austin. Fitness celebrity and former gymnast Denise Austin always took care of her body. "In my 20s, however, I was more concerned with looking good in a bikini," she admits. "These days I'm focused on feeling good and staying healthy--and if I can still get away with wearing a bikini, that's a bonus!" Writing at age 43, she reminds us that 40 certainly isn't the end of the road--in fact, we probably have another 40 years or more to look forward to.
Strong Women Stay Young by Miriam E. Nelson. The sad truth of all exercise programs is that you have to follow them to get results. This one is no different, but its well-designed, progressive strength-training promises the fountain of youth in two 40-minute sessions a week. An extravagant claim? Yes. But many women, especially those between age 40 and 80, can achieve certain measures of youth: denser bones, better balance and flexibility, more strength and energy than women years younger. The Fitness Factor : Every Woman's Key to a Lifetime of Health and Well-Being by Lisa R. Callahan. Imagine picking up the morning paper and seeing a banner headline that reads: miraculous new anti-aging pill discovered. In The Fitness Factor, Lisa Callahan, M.D., shows us that such a magic pill already exists in the form of regular daily exercise. As cofounder and medical director for the country's premier sports medicine center for women and a well-known medical spokeswoman, Dr. Callahan is uniquely qualified to write this book. When Your Body Gets the Blues: The Clinically Proven Program for Women Who Feel Tired, Stressed, and Eat Too Much! by Marie Annette Brown, Jo Robinson. Do you feel drowsy, sluggish, tense, moody, and disinterested in sex? Do you have trouble sleeping, controlling your eating (especially sweets), and concentrating? If you answered yes to several of these questions, you may have the "body blues" (or "vegetative depressive symptoms"). The authors name these blues, which are caused by low or fluctuating hormones.
The Wisdom of Menopause: Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing During the Change by Christiane Northrup. Menopause doesn't have to be a dreaded curse of aging during which we can look forward only to hot flashes and whacked-out hormonal mood swings. According to Christiane Northrup, M.D. (Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom), menopause often marks the beginning of a woman's most sexually passionate, creatively inspired, and professionally productive phase of life. Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom : Creating Physical and Emotional Health and Healing by Christiane Northrup. Quite possibly every female over the age of 12 will find this huge book enlightening, pain saving, and perhaps even lifesaving. Northrup is a gynecologist who acknowledges the power of natural therapies and herbs, but also maintains that allopathic treatments, including surgery, are sometimes best. Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book by Susan M. Love, Karen Lindsey (Contributor), Marcia Williams (Illustrator). Dr. Susan Love's Breast Book has been considered the bible of breast-care books since it appeared in 1990. In 1995, Love completely updated the book in a 600-page second edition, including new biopsy and screening methods, implants, the pros and cons of hormone therapy, new discoveries in breast-cancer treatment, and many other topics.
Screaming to be Heard: Hormonal Connections Women Suspect, and Doctors Still Ignore by Elizabeth Lee Vliet MD.
