1. The New Harvard Guide to Women's Health (Harvard
University Press Reference Library), by Karen J.
Carlson, Stephanie A. Eisenstat, Terra Ziporyn,
Paperback, Publisher: Belknap Press
With the publication in 1996 of The Harvard Guide to
Women's Health, women seeking answers to questions about
their health had access to the combined expertise of
physicians from three of the world's most prestigious
medical institutions: Harvard Medical School,
Massachusetts General Hospital, and Brigham and Women's
Hospital. With complete information on women's health
concerns, physical and behavioral, this A to Z reference
quickly became a definitive resource, praised especially
for its coverage of topics not previously considered
under the umbrella of women's health. The guide reunites
the authors to bring a valued health reference up to
date for a new generation, and for those women who have
come to rely on the Harvard Guide and are now wondering
what to do about their health as they enter a new stage
of life. The New Harvard Guide includes: updated
recommendations about cardiac health and heart disease,
entries reflecting recent advances in the understanding
and treatment of autoimmune diseases, better coverage of
health concerns throughout a woman's life span, from her
first period to menopause and beyond, with a new entry
on perimenopause; expanded nutritional recommendations,
including a unique chart of the US government's Daily
Reference Intakes for micronutrients, broken down for
teens and women whose needs may differ because they are
pregnant, breastfeeding, or postmenopausal; updated
information on over-the-counter medications,
prescription drugs, procedures, screenings, and
diagnostic tests.
2. Natural Choices for Women's Health : How the
Secrets of Natural and Chinese Medicine Can Create a
Lifetime of Wellness, by Laurie Dr Steelsmith,
Paperback, Three Rivers Press
Are you unhappy relying on antibiotics for every
illness, painkillers for menstrual cramps, and caffeine
just to feel “normal”? Are you fed up with an endless
cycle of colds, flus, headaches, digestive problems, and
fatigue? Do you want to experience freedom from
menopausal hormone fluctuations and hot flashes? This
book explores these issues and many more, offering a
groundbreaking resource for women who want to approach
health naturally. In this completely accessible guide,
the author shows how women can create a lifetime of
optimal well-being by blending the extraordinary
benefits of natural medicine from both the Western
tradition and ancient Chinese teachings. Outlining a
Naturally Healthy Lifestyle that enhances the body’s own
health-sustaining abilities, Steelsmith identifies ten
crucial components of a woman’s health, the immune
system, kidneys, liver, digestive system, heart,
hormones, bones, breasts, pelvis, and mental health, and
provides dozens of tips to help maintain peak condition.

4. The Active Woman's Health and Fitness Handbook, by
Nadya Swedan, from Perigee Trade
This comprehensive guide addresses women's concerns
about the physical and psychological aspects of
fitness-no matter what age or activity level. Written by
a female athlete and doctor, it answers questions in
many areas-from what health risks are associated with
each sport or exercise, to what to do when your knee
hurts after a jog, to what you can do to prevent
osteoporosis. Nadya Swedan, M.D., is a Physical Medicine
and Rehabilitation Specialist who provides non-surgical
treatment of sports-related and musculoskeletal pain and
injuries, especially in women.
5. The Woman's Book of Yoga and Health : A Lifelong
Guide to Wellness, by Judith Hanson Lasater, Linda
Sparrowe, Patricia Walden, Paperback, Publisher:
Shambhala
This book is a comprehensive book about women’s health
issues and how to treat them with yoga. The authors
offer a complete yoga program for general health as well
as pose sequences that address specific health
problems–all in the Iyengar tradition, which targets
health needs more than other forms of yoga. For example,
in the first part of the book, Patricia Walden has
organized three chapters showing yoga poses with clear
instructions that tell how to get into each pose and
describe its benefits: chapter one is the Essential
Sequence for all women, and includes modifications for
people who cannot or should not do all the poses;
chapter two is the Restorative Sequence for stress
relief and relaxation; chapter three contains advanced
poses that energize and tone. The second part is
presented in four sections that broadly represent the
stages of a woman’s life: teen years and early twenties,
later twenties and thirties, midlife, and wisdom years.
Each section contains chapters offering specific
information about a particular health issue from author
Linda Sparrowe, as well as sequences of yoga poses from
Patricia Walden that address the problem.
