Healthy Tips that Will Help Women Live Healthier

  • 02 Apr/
  • Susan Pearly /
  • Health

International Women’s Day falls on March 8 every year. That means 2018 Women’s Day falls on a Thursday this month.The day brings global governments, women’s organisations, businesses and charities together under the banner of International Women’s Day.

The day itself will be marked with talks, performances, rallies, networking events and marches. And shopping also will be a very important activity for many women on that day.

While women are enjoying the festival, I have to remind women should pay more attention on their health. As the pace of life is getting faster and faster, the pressure on women is also growing. In fact, many women are in sub-health status. Therefore I summarized a number of health tips, and hope to provide some good suggestions to the majority of women.

  1. Zap your stress

The biggest issue could be seen in most patients is that they have too much on their plates and want to juggle it all. Stress can have significant health consequences, from infertility to higher risks of depression, anxiety, and heart disease. Find the stress-reduction method that works for you and stick with it.

  1. Stop dieting

Eating healthy doesn’t mean you have to forgive your favorite glass of wine or a piece of chocolate cake now and then. The key is moderation. Get a mix of lean proteins, healthy fats, smart carbs, and fiber.

  1. Don’t “OD” on calcium

As we known, too much calcium can increase the risk of kidney stones and may even increase the risk of heart disease. If you’re under 50, shoot for 1,000 milligrams per day, while over-50 women should be getting 1,200 milligrams per day mainly through diet — about three servings of calcium-rich foods such as milk, salmon, and almonds.

  1. Do more than cardio

Women need a mix of cardio and resistance or weight-bearing exercise at least three to five times a week to help prevent osteoporosis, heart disease, cancer, and diabetes. Exercise also promotes good self-image, which is really important to a woman’s mental health.

  1. Think about fertility

While many women have no problem getting pregnant in their late 30s and even into their early 40s, a woman’s fertility may start to decline as early as 32. So if you want to have kids, talk to your doctor about options, like freezing your eggs. Anyway, pregnancy at the right age is the best if conditions permit.

  1. Appreciate birth control

Birth control gets a bad rap, but not only can it keep you from getting pregnant before you’re ready, but also it may lower the risk of uterine and ovarian cancer as well as regulate your cycle.

  1. See your doctor every year

Make sure you get a Pap test to check for cervical cancer every 3 years if you are 21 or older. If you are 30-65, you can get both a Pap test and HPV test every 5 years. Older than that, you may be able to stop testing if your doctor says you are low risk. If you are sexually active and have a higher risk for STDs, get tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis yearly. Take an HIV test at least once, more frequently if you’re at risk. Don’t skip your yearly checkup. Your doctor needs to annually assess many other issues such as potential infection, your need for contraception, and sexual complaints.

  1. Get more sleep

Sleep needs differ, but if you have trouble getting out of bed, tire easily, or have trouble concentrating, you likely aren’t getting enough. Recent studies suggest this can put you at greater risk of heart disease and psychological problems.

  1. Have good sex

Sex reduces stress and may lower the risk of chronic disease — but only if you enjoy it. If anything prevents you from sexual fulfillment, such as dryness or pain, talk to your doctor to find a solution.

  1. Consider genetic testing

Doctors can now screen people with a family history of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and chronic diseases to assess their risk — and then consider preventive measures. Talk to your doctor.

Lastly but not least, I sincerely hope all females could develop good habits and enjoy a healthy life.
