Did 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

Finally, 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.

"This is our voice, these are our truths, and our stories deserve to be told." This deeply empowering and personal collection of stories brings together a wide range of Black experiences on the menopause journey. Drawing on the historical and cultural importance of storytelling traditions in African and Caribbean ancestry, this anthology breaks through a taboo topic that has too often been mired in shame and silence with courage and vulnerability. Contributions span across various heritages, sexual orientations, ages, and gender identities, curating an intimate treasury of journeys full of honesty, pain, healing, and liberation. Topics on emotional, mental, and sexual health as well as complementary therapies are all discussed with empathy and sincerity, allowing readers to broaden their depth of understanding on the experiences of Black people impacted by the menopause.
