6 Ways to Boost Women's Health

Women, we are great! I am sorry but to me we are better than men! Look at all we can do that a man can't. I won't get into all that.

What I will talk about is trying to keep us healthy. We always put ourselves last when we have a family. We are just as important as the rest of the family is though, heck we are normally the back bone. So here are 6 ways to keep us healthy, now all you have to do is try to practice it!

Tip 1: Eat a healthy diet

You want to eat as close to a natural food diet as you can. Try and get a good amount of fresh fruits and veggies in and stay away from processed foods. Whole grains, high fiber, lean meats, high protein. To top that off consume your daily water intake and depending on your age try to get between 800-1500mg of calcium a day.

Tip 2: Exercise

Heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in America! Try to exercise at least 30 days a week, a minimum of 3 days a week. Aerobic exercise is especially good for your heart.

Tip 3: Avoid risky habits

Try and stay away from smoking (I have battled this one myself for a long time). Don't use drugs, try to drink alcohol in moderation. (I feel like I just typed an after school show for this one...lol)

Tip 4: Manage stress (I have a hard time with this one). No matter what stage of life you are in, a woman often wears many hats and deals with a lot of pressure. Take a bit of a time each day to take care of you! Mental health is just as important as physical. You can manage stress with exercise, relaxation techniques or meditation.

Tip 5: Sun safely

We all have heard excessive exposure to the sun's harmful rays can cause skin cancer, which is deadly! Try to wear at least a SPF of 15 when you are going to be outdoors, and make sure you re-apply.

Tip 6: Check for breast cancer

So the American cancer society no longer recommends monthly breast self exams for women. Now with that being said, I still suggest that you do them, especially if you are under 40. You can still get breast cancer and you are normally not getting mammograms unless you are 40+ So I say feel the boobies!

In general, just try and take care of yourself, if not for your family, do it for you!
