DOWNLOAD EBOOKFinally, a collection that celebrates, considers, contemplates, even criticizes'midlife' from a black woman's point of view. Age Ain't Nothing but a Number ranges over every aspect of black women's lives: personal growth, family and friendship, love and sexuality, health, beauty, illness, spirituality, creativity, financial independence, work, and scores of other topics. Midlife today isn't your grandmother's'change of life.' Today, black women call hot flashes 'power surges,' and menopause, the 'pause that refreshes.' These days, middle-aged women may be newlyweds or new mothers, as well as grandmothers or widows. They may experience the empty-nest syndrome and then the 'return-to-the-nest syndrome' as adult children move back home. They may navigate the field of Internet dating, travel the world, teach homeless women, take up pottery, or study international business. This anthology captures all of these aspects of midlife as experienced by some of the finest voices in African-American writing today. Featuring the work of Maya Angelou, J. California Cooper, Pearl Cleage, Nikki Giovanni, Susan L. Taylor, Alice Walker, and dozens of others, Age Ain't Nothing but a Number will make readers think, laugh, and cry and will be the perfect gift book for spring.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKDid you know that according to research, it is proven that Black women endure more in their menopausal stages compared to women of other races? The symptoms they experience are also usually stronger and last for a longer period in comparison to other women. Menopause is a normal occurrence for women approaching midlife. It is inevitable, along with the changes women are about to experience in their bodies that may also affect how they perceive themselves. It is a stressful period for women because for some, the way they see themselves or their role in their families or society changes because of the physical changes they’re going through. As several studies show, systematic racism plays a major role in why Black women have a harder and longer time dealing with menopause as compared to other races. It is not easy to change the attitude of society, but Black women can do something to help with their symptoms to better their health. One of these is through an effective diet plan, the Menopause Diet, along with a workout program that will help alleviate the symptoms of menopause. In the following guide, you will come across more information about: Menopause Stages and symptoms of menopause Menopause in Black women The Menopause Diet Foods to avoid and eat

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book is designed to meet the needs of nurse practitioners, other advanced practice nurses, and allied health professionals working in women’s health, primary care, and other specialties. The multiple roles the clinician embraces in menopause management include that of direct caregiver, manager of therapeutics, educator, and interdisciplinary team member or leader. This book provides updated, evidence based information on the menopause transition from the late reproductive stage to post-menopause to optimize the interaction of the clinician and the individual woman in each of those roles. Women’s lived experiences of menopause and women’s concerns regarding both the menopause transition and the choice of care options are included as critical components of shared therapy decisions. The review of natural menopause physiology and the variability of menopause symptoms are inclusive of diverse women and diverse trajectories. The impact of menopause on chronic disease, sleep, weight and nutrition, mood and cognition, urogenital health and sexuality, as well as vasomotor symptoms are each developed as individual topics by experts in those fields. Evidence based management using hormonal and non-hormonal options, and life-style and other complementary interventions are discussed with the most updated advantages and disadvantages of each treatment option. Consistent with advanced practice nursing theory, the approach is whole patient focused.
