Turning back time

What do Sophia Loren, Cher, Raquel Welch, Jane Fonda and Joan Collins have in common? Well apart from being actresses over the age of forty they are all mentioned in Bharti Vyas's 'Simply Radiant' book.

Aimed at the mature woman, this book explores the ageing process.

Bharti Vyas explains Menopause, and more importantly, how to combat its effects. All the favourite culinary recipes are included, divided into a weekly menu consisting of the Semi-Detox (Monday), Transition (Tuesday), Normal (Wednesday-Friday) and the Weekend eating plan.

Also included are the massage techniques and holistic remedies including Bharti's guide to age-defying nutrients, reflexology and herbal remedies. She has taken the time to explain the effect of nutrients and the products in which you can find them.

I particularly liked the detailed explanations of how hair, skin and body cells age and the excerpts throughout the book highlighting details for the reader's attention.

The book, in hardback, is clear in its layout and a delight to handle and peruse. Illustrated with photographs of "strong women in their prime, living life to the full!", Bharti Vyas's book seeks to promote the more mature role model.

Therein lies the dilemma of this otherwise wonderful book. No woman - your wife, friend, sister, mother or grandmother - will ever appreciate being given this book as a present. And yet it is a gift that every woman, however young or old, might want.
