This is a book on Women's Total Health. It is a comprehensive guide to a Woman's body encompassing Physical, Mental and Spiritual Health and Well-Being. It aims to help all women who live in all parts of the world, from the teenager to the post-menopausal woman gain an understanding of changes that take place in their bodies through the various phases of life and the diseases that may affect them. It also addresses social transitions of life including; the single woman, wife, mother, divorced and widowed women, and the mental and psycho-social challenges faced at each stage. Emphasis is placed on balance in a woman's life to ensure total health, and this involves nurturing the Body, Soul and Spirit, -a responsibility of the woman; and the individual's role in taking control of her own health. In every situation involving one's health, the healthcare provider is the "Coach", and you the individual is the "Captain" of the team, because self care management of one's disease improves overall well-being and reduces incidence of complications and or death from it. Because most of the diseases and conditions addressed in the book may affect both women and men, the latter may personally benefit from this book. This book is intended to supplement medical knowledge and encourage personal responsibility for a women's own health, but is not intended to replace the regular medical advice and care from her personal Physician or other healthcare Provider.
