When Your Body Gets the Blues: The Clinically Proven Program for Women Who Feel Tired and Stressed and Eat Too Much FROM OUR EDITORS
This eye-opening book identifies the "Body Blues" as a collection of common, mood-related symptoms (ranging from fatigue and disturbed sleeping patterns to weight gain) afflicting about a quarter of all women throughout their lives. More prevalent among women because of the way their supply of seratonin is used up and replenished, the Body Blues are too often discounted by sufferers and overlooked by medical professionals. To help women gain control over these symptoms, the authors prescribe the LEVITY plan, consisting of moderate regular exercise (brisk walking), natural lighting, and an affordable regimen of vitamins and minerals. This informative and well-researched effort -- with frequent question-and-answer sections that make it extremely approachable -- will put readers on the road to increased energy, less stress, and effortless weight control.
FROM THE PUBLISHER
Millions of women don't feel their best and don't know why. They're not out-right depressed, but they aren't really happy either. They eat too much or have gained weight lately. They find it hard to concentrate or have trouble sleeping. They feel tense, anxious, or irritable, or they're highly sensitive to criticism. They're tired and not very interested in sex (or even everyday life). When Your Body Gets the Blues offers a clinically proven solution. A simple, drug-free treatment known as the Levity program -- Light, Exercise, and Vitamin Intervention Therapy -- can help women think clearly, sleep soundly, cope easily with stress, reduce anxiety and depression, and lose unwanted pounds -- in 8 weeks or less! The author's easy-to-follow program includes self-quizzes, tips for increasing exposure to light and getting mood-elevating exercise even on dark or rainy days, and six recommended vitamins and minerals proven to relieve the Body Blues.
Marie-Annette Brown, Ph.D., R.N., tested the Lrvity program on real women, and they improved significantly -- far more than women who took placebo pills. In fact, many participants cut their feelings of depression in half. One woman who completed the Levity program said, "I know that if I ever feel blue again, I have my own way of feeling better -- I won't have to run to my doctor for a prescription." Now, for the first time, When Your Body Gets the Blues offers the groundbreaking Levity program to women everywhere. All it takes is a small investment of 20 minutes and a few pennies a day. With this clinically proven program, any woman -- young or old, active or inactive -- can regain control over her mood and her life.
