Menopause. Why do we go through it? How can we enjoy this time of life? There is a plethora of confusing and misleading information out there about menopause: what to take, and what to eat. Women may begin to wonder: is there something wrong with our bodies? And if menopause is natural, why do doctors, pharmaceutical companies, and the media recommend so much medication to treat menopausal symptoms? The last sixty years of dietary advice, warning women to avoid fat, have actually worsened women's health. If you're approaching menopause, in menopause, or are interested in improving your health naturally, here is a book that explains the history of menopause, the evolutionary benefits of this life event, and how to eat the right foods to help you enjoy what should be the longest and most fulfilling part of your life. This book is the first of a three-book series that shows how important eating good fat is for a woman's health at every stage of her life.
Common sense prevails in this all-inclusive look at the health issues of younger women. One of the first chapters considers the historical treatment of puberty and the results of bad medicine on the lives of women over the centuries. Even today, some of those same treatments are used in the health care of younger women. This is the question that Dr. Bright is addressing: What is best for our adolescent women today?
The drugs and surgeries in mainstream medicine today, which are used to make life better, are shown many times to be inadequate and damaging. Lack of knowledge or arrogance subjects young women to treatments that have life-long consequences.
