A health encyclopedia written for Latinas
In “The Latina Guide to Health” (Newmarket Press, $15.95) Jane L. Delgado, the president and CEO of the National Alliance for Hispanic Health, offers health advice for Latinas of all ages, delivered “as if we were talking over a chocolate caliente (hot chocolate).” First, the good news: Latinas, Delgado says, have lower rates of heart disease and stroke and live longer than non-Hispanic white women. Now the bad: Latinas are more likely to be overweight and have diabetes than non-Hispanic white women and are more likely to suffer from depression. Delgado goes through health issues alphabetically — from alcohol use to STDs — then includes handy health charts and lists of questions to ask your doctor at the end of the book. The Washington Post
