Healthy Living.
May 9th-15th is National Women’s Health Week. This week is dedicated specifically to raising awareness about health issues that specifically affect women and educating women about how to live healthier lifestyles.
The aim is to promote physical and mentally healthy lifestyles in women. Below are some of the steps women can take to living healthier lives.
Sometimes life can get busy, and things like doctor’s visits get forgotten. However, it is important to get an annual check-up, even if you’re feeling great.
An annual appointment may include a physical examination, as well as routine blood work. Women 45 and older should also get a mammogram annually.
Working daily exercise into your routine is a really simple but important way to maintain good health. Try to get at least 30 minutes of exercise a day.
Sometimes healthy eating habits begin to slip away, and before you know it, your diet is no longer providing you with the nutrients you need to be healthy. Do a check-in on how many fruits and vegetables you are eating each day. Use this week as motivation to establish some good healthy eating habits.
It is important to spend time focusing on your mental well-being. Find ways to lower your stress levels and give your mind a rest. Many women find that things like meditation or journaling work well for them. Whatever it is, make it a part of your routine.
