Menstruationscyklussen er det femte vitale tegn sammen med blodtryk, kropstemperatur, vejrtrækningsfrekvens og puls. Denne bog giver dig al den viden, du skal bruge for at blive kendt med din egen krop, så du kan bruge de tegn, som de fire faser i cyklussen giver dig, til at opnå et bedre helbred, hvile bedst muligt og forebygge udbrændthed. Du vil lære, hvornår du gennemgår forandringer, hvornår det er lettest at blive gravid, og hvornår du bør gå til lægen og blive undersøgt.Det meste af al forskning inden for medicin er baseret på mænd. Kvinder er blevet set på som små mænd med reproduktive organer. Men kvinder er biologisk set helt forskellige fra mænd, med andre kønshormoner, som også fungerer anderledes. Hos kvinder sker der ændringer i hormoner både dagligt og månedligt, i tillæg til flere større ændringer i hormoner gennem livet. Der er en statistisk overvægt af kvinder, som bliver udbrændte og sygemeldte. Kan det, at kvinder lever i overensstemmelse med mænds cyklus og ikke deres egen, være med til at bidrage til det?

"Mamâa tells her children a story that began when their papâa was a niäno, not far from here. Their abuelitas told stories of their antepasados, and their abuelo, a blacksmith, taught their papâa how to make art from earth and fire. When abuelo died, papâa took all those lessons to heart and crossed la frontera to el norte to follow his sueänos. There, he worked and overcame barriers, known to many immigrants alike, to forge his own obra maestra: a familia and a future in which anything is possible. Debut author Nydia Armendia-Sâanchez relays a story of immigration, creativity, and comunidad through a translanguage text that moves naturally from English to espaänol and back in a manner that will be familiar to many second and third generations of Latine families--and evocative to immigrant families of any heritage. Brilliantly brought to life by Devon Holzwarth's rich, imaginative illustrations, this warm abrazo of a book features a glossary of Spanish words."-- Provided by publisher.
