Beck outlines the symptoms, risk factors, and treatments or prevention strategies for the most common health conditions, then offers recommended dietary solutions, vitamin and mineral supplements, and herbal remedies. She explains how food affects your weight, energy levels, and the health of your body–and provides practical choices that will help women of all ages lay a foundation for better nutrition habits and long-lasting health.
