A Guide To Women's Health: Fifty and Forward

From Harvard Medical School:

For both men and women, many of the things we need to do to stay healthy are one and the same: Eat right, exercise, don't smoke. But women have health concerns that are unique to them: Mammograms, bone density tests, menopause, ovarian cancer. Some medical conditions—like heart disease—may present different symptoms, or different degrees of risk in women. And for a woman at midlife, medical decisions are changing and need to be made more frequently.

That's why the experts at Harvard Medical School have created A Guide to Women's Health: Fifty and Forward, a comprehensive report to help women take stock of their health at midlife, understand their health risks, and discover the things they can do to stay healthy and strong. Women's health studies have shown that it's never too late to feel better by living better. Whether you're just entering midlife, or are in your 80s and beyond, there are steps any woman can take today to ensure the best possible health tomorrow.

This report also includes a Special Bonus Section: 10 steps to a longer, healthier life, which outlines ten things a woman can do to reduce her risk of many major degenerative diseases.

A Guide to Women's Health: Fifty and Forward is every woman's blueprint for good health today, tomorrow, and for the years ahead. It can help you make important health decisions, improve your quality of life, and greatly reduce the likelihood of landing in a nursing home
