This book offers sensible, practical advice for women both approaching and going through the menopause.
Maryon Stewart begins by explaining what happens in the years prior to menpause and what causes the symptoms which women might encounter at that time as well as those which may occur during the menopause itself. She then considers HRT and explains why it might not be suitable for some women - either for medical reasons or because they themselves do not wish to take it. She describes a natural approach using diet and exercise to help alleviate the symptoms and improve overall health.
The book is easy to read, with any technical terms clearly explained. It contains various alternatives which might be used to tackle symptoms and helpful charts to monitor improvement. Diet suggestions and recipes are included.
Anyone contemplating HRT should read it!
