Women over the age of 40 have specific health care needs that are not always addressed, either by them or their providers. Our goal here is to simply educate women. We are, after all, responsible for our health. If we have not yet learned the care of our bodies, it's time. Knowledge, and knowledge put into action is very powerful. Wishing you a good, long, and vibrantly healthy life.
According to a survey done in New Zealand, 91% of women ages 45-65 who were surveyed said health was their top priority.

I dont think eought is said about womens health in general.Most women get the wrong information about thier health
Hi Barbara,
As you know I live in New Zealand, where this study was done...and I find that culturally women are different than American women. This study, which was small, (100 women) also suggested that women had no issues with growing older....and this according to Shellenbarger and others is not that way with Yanks....
That said, I do think health is a priorty for women as they age, esp as they get "feedback" from their body that they need to attend to it!
in Adventure,

Hey Jenn,
I think you hit the nail on the head with your comment about getting "feedback". Many of us, regardless of age, take health for granted...until we get the (big or little) nudge that says "take care of me!"
