It is not uncommon that a new mother puts off her own health after a birth by focusing on care for her newborn.

MENOPAUSE
Nearly 50% of American women will be menopausal by the year 2015. Current estimations are that 20 million U.S. women are in menopause now and that by 2010 that number will be 60 million. Today's woman has many more options available to her than her mother or grandmother did to address the symptoms of menopause and effects of aging. Many women are convinced into taking hormone replacement therapy (HRT) as a means of preventing osteoporosis and heart disease. This can happen as early as when their menses start to become irregular. However, they are generally unaware of the serious risks to them by taking HRT for long periods of time. Many women do not realize there are other alternatives available. Regular exercise, calcium supplements and proper diet may prove to be a better way to prevent osteoporosis and heart disease. Acupuncture and herbal medicine are also helpful in treating bone loss associated with menopause.
