About this listen
Concerns of Women Over 50 by Jean Shaw looks at the anxieties affecting most women in midlife.
Based on conversations with old school friends, Jean reflects on issues she and her peers are currently facing, such as problems with diet, exercise, finance, health, relationships, sleep, and weight gain.
The topics in Concerns of Women over 50 are discussed in a conversational way, and Jean intersperses her thoughts with jokes and quotes about the subjects under review.
This is not a self-help book as such, and whilst not claiming to be an expert on anything, or offering any detailed solutions, she explains in layman's terms about issues and conditions which many of us don't really understand. These include: antioxidants, cholesterol, high blood pressure, free radicals, why you need to maintain your muscle mass.
She also offers advice on how to recognize if someone has a stroke, and what you can do if you suffer a heart attack and are alone.
Jean suggests sensible small changes you can make in your life to improve the golden years, which come to us all.
She emphasizes what you most likely already know, and that is the proven link between diet, weight, and health, as well as the importance of working hard to maintain strong relationships.
After all, personal wealth comes in many forms, doesn't it, and it's not always financial.
The audiobook ends with a light hearted look back at how things have changed over the years based on two emails she has received , and which highlight just how crazy the world has become.

Story
For many of us seniors, life can become boring, lonely, and unfulfilling. We live with the aches and pains of aging and loss of friends, relatives, and significant others. For some, this can be a downward spiral of depression and unhappiness. For others it's just a feeling that you have little to look forward to and that life is slowing down and monotonously coming to an end. Really sort of depressing.

Menopause and perimenopause are a serious subject - but I think humor helps! I have laughed at myself, and my family has laughed with me and not at me when I have had certain symptoms. You can listen to my personal and very open account of what I have been going through, and how I’ve seen humor in even the most serious symptoms. I hope if nothing else besides getting the information will make you smile.

A nutritious diet is very essential. There should be a lot of fruit and vegetables. Keep away from unhealthy food. Stay away from junk and processed food. Don't take fatty or fried food too much. Eat healthily. Take steamed meat and barbecue. Stay away from smoking and liquor. Exercise is a must for a healthy life. But most of the time it is difficult to go to the gym because of the jam-packed schedules. You can train even without going to the gym. You can spend a few minutes on a quick walk to the next bus stop.

What if you could lose as much weight as you wanted WITHOUT spending money on pills, powders, weird diet food, or even exercise? The Code Red Revolution is all about taking your life back by eating real food and giving your body what it needs—water, high-quality nutrition, and plenty of sleep. Maintaining a healthy weight doesn’t have to be complicated. In fact, when you keep it simple and just follow a few basic rules, the weight comes off naturally (even if you have health challenges). Most weight-loss books and plans teach you one magical way to lose weight, but they don’t take into account just how wonderfully individual we all are. This book shows you how to integrate the simple-but-effective program recommendations into your daily life.

This book wasn't what I expected.
I'm a senior so most of what's in this book is something I've already dealt with and or experienced. It's more for women that haven't retired or lost a husband.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
