Women health care in most cases takes a back seat because of the multitude tasks she has to undertake. Amidst all hard work, and family responsibilities women needs extra care, women rarely get the time to give personal attention to their health and wellness. Keeping that in mind here are the most important things a woman can do to stay healthy.
Four Tips for Dietary Health
Alkalize : Our bodies also exist in a balance between acidity and alkalinity. What acidifies our bodies? Alcohol, drugs, nicotine, and caffeine are big culprits. We also create lactic acid when we digest meat, dairy, and very high-protein foods. The human body doesn’t like to be in an acidic state, and it works overtime to compensate. The good news is that alkaline foods immediately help to stabilize and alkalize our bodies. Well, they include vegetables, sprouts, low-sugar fruits, legumes, and certain grains (spelt, quinoa, and millet in particular).
Eat for Your Bones : Many women don't get enough calcium—which helps prevent osteoporosis—through diet alone. Women ages 19 to 50 should get 1,000 milligrams or eat three to four servings of foods high in the mineral (taken with vitamin D for absorption) daily.
Boost your mood with exercise : Exercise has a host of health benefits and can lower your risk of heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, and other conditions. But the best news is that it can improve your mood. One study found that for depressed people, exercise was as effective as antidepressant medication.
Stop Fearing Fats: Especially women with histories of chronic dieting–tend to be pretty fat-phobic. Don’t be! Healthy fats help our nerves, eyes, and immune systems. Our brain is composed of 60% fats, and our hearts are regulated by them. They’re known to help prevent cholesterol, and they’re especially important for fertility and fetal brain development. Sources can be - Almonds, Coconut, Olives, Walnuts, Sunflower Seeds, and Avocados.
Four Tips for Mind, Body, and Soul
Stay connected: Having a good network of friends and family is associated with greater longevity, and loneliness is associated with a greater risk of heart disease.
Have some fun in the sun: Just 15 to 20 minutes of sunlight exposure each day can supply your daily need for vitamin D. Getting a sufficient amount of vitamin D may ward off diabetes, heart attacks, heart failure, high blood pressure, heart disease, and maybe even the common cold.
Control your stress: Stress is not only unpleasant, but it may also harm your health by boosting inflammation in the body and raising your risk of heart disease. Carve out time for solitary walks, little beauty treatments, reading, music, catching up with friends, and other forms of self-focused activity.
Make sleep a priority : Sleep may be last on your list, but it might be time to move it up. New research suggests that a lack of sleep may disturb blood-sugar control and increase the risk of type 2 diabetes. Respect the z's!
