Women s Health for Life is a unique compilation of women s health information, designed to help women optimize their health, well-being, and quality of life. Written by women physicians for women readers, it discusses topics from contraception to infertility; migraines to menopause; and heartburn to heart disease. While many readers will want to read this book from start to finish, it provides easy access to specific information when it s needed. Uniquely, this book provides clear illustrations, graphs, and charts making it as easily understood as a cookbook. While, there is no recipe for good health, there are many ingredients discussed in this book s 16 chapters. Organized by body system, each chapter starts out with an explanation of how that system works and ways to maintain healthy function through diet, exercise, and other self-help measures. This is followed by an explanation of some of the medical conditions affecting that particular system and how they should be treated - in women, not men.
