Review of Intermittent Fasting for Women in Menopause
[Following is a volunteer review of "Intermittent Fasting for Women in Menopause" by Woods Publishing.]
Daniel Jordan Smith wrote a book titled "To Be a Man Is Not a One-Day Job." The book summarily talks about how challenging it is to be a man. Well, if being a man is challenging, try being a woman. While I don't play down the challenges of being a man, being a woman is much more complicated. Women deal with menstruation, pregnancy, childbirth, breastfeeding, and menopause. Menopause seems to be the most challenging phase in a woman's adult life. However, there seems to be little to no conversations on how women can handle menopause. In "Intermittent Fasting for Women Over 50 in Menopause," Woods Publishing suggests that women can deal with the challenges of menopause through intermittent fasting. What is intermittent fasting? How does it relate to menopause? How can it help women in menopause? You will find the answers in this book.
I liked that the author opted to write in the first person. This style would make the book's content relatable to the target readers. The author was also intentional about the writing tone. How the author wrote this book would elicit connectivity between the author and the reader. The author was not judgemental but sounded empathetic.
The author intentionally made this book about women. Apart from the fact that the content would benefit women, she started each chapter with quotes by women. There were quotes from Maya Angelou, Astrid Alauda, Christiane Northip, etc. These quotes were inspiring and helpful; they set the tone for the author's discussions in each chapter. I found Astrid Alauda's quote quite interesting: "Your body is a temple, but only if you treat it as one."
The author did thorough research. The book was replete with ideas borrowed from already published works. As a result, the author provided a reference list at the end of the book. It did not make the book sound academic, though.
The only issue I had was when the author failed to provide the source of a statistical statement in the book. Here's the statement: "91% of women across all age groups feel a degree of dissatisfaction with their bodies…" This statement could be true. However, a verifiable source would have made it authentic.
The book was professionally edited. Although I had a problem with the author not providing a source for a statistical statement, I would not be penalizing the book. Therefore, I'd rate the book 5 out of 5 stars. This book would benefit women in menopause.
