Product Description
Synopsis
Having undergone an early menopause herself, Elaine Myers was inspired to write a book of recipes as she is the only person she knows who has had an almost symptom-free menopause (without HRT). This book is for all those women who want to enjoy a healthy, positive middle age, and it explains how right eating can rectify most problems associated with the menopause and, for some people, even override the need for HRT. This is particularly relevant now as recent trials on HRT have been very negative. These dishes will help women in particular to avoid the hot flashes, mood swings, fatigue and other symptoms that usually accompany the menopause and also will be enjoyed by the whole family. As food is one of life's greatest pleasures, the recipes in this inspirational collection are designed to be deliciously varied. Made with fresh, natural ingredients, they have a light, imaginative touch, and use an approach that is very much in keeping with today's trends - combining the best of global foods, and using herbs and flavourings with exuberant flair and confidence. The bright, modern appeal of this book and the variety of recipes on offer will make healthy eating a positive pleasure.- Each woman can choose dishes that will address her own symptoms - Includes the key foods that help to replace waning hormones and supply vital isoflavones and phytoestrogens - Commonsense approach to cooking healthy meals - Promotes a positive approach to food, highlighting new flavourings and varied, delicious ingredients used in creative ways - Written by an experienced health and cookery writer inspired to create the book by her own early menopause - Contemporary colour photography with mouth-watering shots to entice and inspire

Why you must buy this book,
By Mrs Fiona Agombar (Tenterden, KentUnited Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Great Healthy Food for the Menopause (Paperback)
This is truly a great book. I am 47 and am currently experiencing the menopause. A doctor friend of mine explained that there is no need to have to deal with any of the uncomfortable symptoms such as night-sweats, insomnia and mood swings, if you stick to a healthy diet high in phyto oestrogens. So I bought this book. it is full of delicicous recepies - tasty - but best of all, easy to cook and simple healthy ingredients. Thank you Ms Myers! Even my husband is enjoying the food (he says it should be called Great healthy Food for Men). The thing is as it is sensible, healthy but tasty food, then it is good for the whole family - not just menopausal women. My symptoms have gone and I have much more energy because of this book So if you want a simple, effective, easy way to deal with the menopause and a way to get healthier too - I really recommend this book.

Truly Delicious!,
This review is from: Great Healthy Food for the Menopause (Paperback)
I love this book. The photographs are mouth-watering and the recipes easy to follow, and best of all, really delicious.I have cooked several of the dishes in the book with no disasters, and the whole family have enjoyed them. Some of the portion sizes are a little large, but that's OK as you can freeze half for a later date. Provided you have access to a decent supermarket or wholefood shop you can get cooking and start feeling healthier straight away. You don't have to limit your intake of scrummy food just because you are on a programme of 'healthy eating'. I can recommend the No Bake Chocolate Cake, the Vanilla Granola Breakfast Trifle, the Duck Pancakes with Chutney and the Lemongrass Beef with Pak Choi to name but four. There are plenty of veggie recipes too. The explanation that accompanies each recipe about phyto-estrogens or vitamins/minerals is encouraging and helpful. Excellent!
