The Best of Women's Health" brings to the forefront progressive
information on the various medical conditions that affect women in
the 21st century. But the informative guide also discusses the
social, racial, economic, health care disparities and other
inequities that illustrate the alarming differences between how men
and women are cared for by our society and the United States
government.
Dr. Valiere Alcena shares his vast experience as a practicing
physician and researcher as he describes the symptoms, diagnosis,
treatment, and prevention of today's most common female diseases
such as hypertension, diabetes, stroke, heart disease, cancer,
anemia, arthritis, osteoporosis, lung diseases, depression,
alcoholism, and HIV/AIDS. Dr. Alcena provides intricate details,
figures, and graphs that illustrate the inner-workings of the
female body as well as practical information on various topics such
as the:
Most effective diet for optimal health Reasons for iron
deficiency Symptoms of major depression Factors that bring on a
migraine
"The Best of Women's Health" will teach women to take charge of
their health and demand positive change in our health care system,
ultimately ensuring that the female population in our country
receives the care they deserve-not only today, but in the
future.
